ChampionsGate Golf Club - National
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Two complaints
The course is beautiful. There were two issues that ruined the experience. First, We played the National course which unbeknownst to us was being over seeded and led to cart path only. A real inconvenience for my playing partner. We were not advised of this prior to check in and were not provided the option of playing the international course. Secondly, the staff was very courteous on the front side but upon completion of the round and with multiple staff members either standing by or within range, no one offered assistance with bag removal, Club cleaning, or bag transport to the bag drop area. This lead to a long uphill climb and walk to the car with equipment. Unfortunate to put such a final stamp on what otherwise is a beautiful experience. Hopefully customer service will improve.
Excellent as Usual
This course was in superb condition. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Fairways were over-seeded, so cart-path only, but very green! Wider fairways and well marked. Will play again!
Gary1677122, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club - National.
would usually recommend but not under todays conditions got drenched and muddied walked miles and it did not even rain
The course is the middle of overseeding which WE WERE NOT TOLD. It was cart path only which WE WERE NOT TOLD we found out halve way do the first hole. The course was watering HEAVLY the whole round which WE WERE NOT TOLD. Got a soaking on first fairway shot.
We stayed on the path as much as possible but MOST SPRINKERS ARE LOCATED ALONG THE PATH. Every thing in our golf bag got soaked, grips, gloves and even wallets and keys. My lotto ticket is drying on the counter right now with my socks.
Several times you would dodge the water and bang you would get hit as new sprinklers came on. This even happened twice on the greens.
The 11 hole was not puttable around the hole it looked like the sprinkler was not working properly there was about 1/2 an inch of water in a 6 foot radius.
3 fairways we soaked our feet walking out to the ball and had to move it 10 to 15 yards to play. We had to pick up ball and move several times not to get wet.
This is not what I expected at this course we have been playing it once or twice a year since it opened.
We expected better and are used to better at this course.

Wet
Very nice course that has seen an unbelievable amount of rain. Result some fairways unplayable but still a fun round.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great staff
Course layout (National) is kind of plain, a few very basic holes, Seems like it is made for corporate outings, but in great condition. The staff were all excellent- professional and attentive, and better than any I have encountered in the area. The practice area is good and they include the little things like range balls and bottled water and GPS in the carts.

Always fantastic
Champion’s Gate impresses once again - tee to green the course was spectacular and the greens rolled perfect. Played my best ever round which helps of course but I’ve never not had a great time at either of the courses on property. We swap between National and International each time we play here and the two courses couldn’t be more different which we love.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
National Masterpiece
Great conditions. Probably best in Orlando currently. A tad slower greens than international and an easier test for sure.

As always - awesome
Among best 4 or 5 courses in the area. Always in great shape (although the water they usually have in cooler at first tee NOT there- kind of sucked on a brutally hot day) other than hat great pace and course in great shape
Outstanding! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
