Course Highlights
The National Course at ChampionsGate delivers a thoughtfully designed parkland layout with fast, true greens and well-maintained fairways that consistently impress. Exceptionally friendly staff, top-notch amenities, and attentive on-course service create a memorable round from start to finish.

About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Style Parkland
Par 72
Length 7197 yards
Slope 128
Rating 74.1

The National course is a classic American-style layout that rolls through 200 acres of southern woodlands and wetlands. Unique bunkering, tree-lined fairways and intriguing green designs define shot making challenges. In particular, golfers are apt to remember the National for its testing par 3 holes and for the double green shared by holes 4 & 16.

Great course - terrible starting time

The course was very nice/great condition, and the on-course cart service was perfect. The only thing lacking was the terrible decision to have people teeing off so early during the fog where you literally couldn't tell where the fairway was or your next shot for the first 2-3 holes. I've never seen a course that allowed players to go off in such poor conditions.

The Greens are pure

Best part of this track is the greens, absolutely pure. Staff is 5 stars.

My Opinion: I feel like the course design awful, Greg Norman designed it on a napkin. Whatever greens were money.

Very nice and enjoyable course

The course is in great shape. Fairway and greens are well kept. The people are very nice and accommodating. The only issue would be the price given the large number of alternative courses in the area. Seemed somewhat overpriced. But if cost is not an issue then you should give this course a try.

Very nice course for the cost in this area

Enjoyed this course both times playing it. The greens are the largest I’ve played with a significant amount of undulation. Since they aren’t extremely fast they still play fair. The people there were also very nice. I will play again when I return next year.

Jeff's thoughts

Kind of a middle of the road course at a middle of the road price. Some well spent maintenance money could raise this to a 4 star venue
