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.

Amazing course!

Rediscovering an awesome course
After many years since I last played the National course at Champions Gate Golf Club, I was very pleased to see that it has gained in luster and was in pristine condition! The staff could use some polish though and I really didn't care for the fact that I had to share a cart. In case they didn't know, Florida reported its highest death total for three consecutive days!
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement.
We handle each request for single cart usage on a case by case basis and do everything that we can to honor requests based on course/cart demands. Unfortunately, weekend mornings are more difficult to honor these requests than at other times.
We are following the stipulations of Executive Order 20-139 from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the enforcement agency of this Executive Order. The Golf Florida Alliance has received written clarification form Secretary Halesy Beshears allowing all sporting events in Florida to happen at capacity and this applies to golf courses ( including the use of golf carts), tennis courts, and outdoor events. This communication refers golf course operators to follow the golf industries Back 2 Golf guidelines version 4.0 that allows shared carts with the stipulation that proper facial coverings are worn by individuals who do not reside in the same household.
We have seen guest who have concerns with shared cart usage when we cannot make an exception either wear a proper facial covering, which we provide complimentary for those needing it, alternate holes using the cart, or walking the entirety of the round. We hope you are able to understand the logic behind this clarification of Executive Order 20-139. We would be happy to discuss this further at your convenience. Most day's we are able to honor single rider requests, however there are times when we are not able to, especially on Friday and Saturday mornings. Thank you for playing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Champions Gate - International
The National was in excellent shape, the term boxes were very fair. The fairways were wonderful, only draw back the greens were extremely fast for amateur play.
I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back.
Terrific! 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.
Phenomenal Condition
Played the National course for the first time. It is in tip-top shape from tee to green. Especially the greens. I still prefer the International as it’s far more memorable but the National is not to be overlooked at all. The staff were incredible nice too. I also love the way this course responds to their reviews too!
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad that you enjoyed your first time playing our National course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.

Carts
Bad customer service, no water on course when the heat infect was 105! Unless u wanted to pay for it! !! And tried to make us ride together when they took every other measures to keep safe from Covid-19. Cart girl was a completely clueless!
Thank you for your review! We apologize that there was no water on the course and that you did not like our shared rider policy. Regarding the water, we are not in that phase yet where we can put water coolers on the course due to possible spread/contamination. We do have bottled water in the clubhouse, on the beverage carts, and by customer request.

Steamy Sunday Golf!
Played the National Course for the first time. Wow what a great course! Greg Norman designed course is very playable and a ton of fun. Tee box, fairways and greens were great. The greens were just about the best I have seen in all of Central Florida! Nice mix of short and long holes. Played from the blues and it is all you want!
Staff was super friendly and she saw the beverage cart at least three times...that was great on a steamy day in Orlando.
My new favorite!
Excellent! 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.
Good track
Had a great round
Play was slow however
Recent rain kept staff from cutting rough so they’ll clean that up! More reason to find the fairway
Best greens in town

Great Conditions - even in the rain
Wife and I booked to play for our anniversary. She had never played at Champions Gate. We paired up with a single after a few holes. It got slow behind the golf academy playing lessons (what it looked like). The course and greens were in excellent condition. The staff was friendly at the proshop & bag drop area. We never saw anyone other than the beverage woman after checking in. We got caught for about 45 minutes during a thunderstorm but everyone made room at the rest area. The National is a fun and challenging course. Highly recommend playing there if you have an opportunity
