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.

Nice to be back.....

Haven't played here since last year. Always a nice course our only upset was the greens, there was still too much sand which made the balls fast. Otherwise, a great course and the staff are very professional and friendly.

Extremely Solid Course

What can I say that hasn’t already been said in previous reviews of this course? I was very happy with my golf experience. Tee to green the course was in immaculate shape. The greens rolled fast and true and there was not a blemish on fairway 1 all the way through 18. However, none of the holes blew me away; they were all really nice, strong golf holes but as far as wow factor it wasn’t really there. Also this course felt like there were several times when holes were stacked right on top of each other. So much so that you could see as many as 5 or 6 other foursomes on certain spots of the routing. What really brings this course to a 5 star rating are it’s impeccable playing conditions. Me and my playing partner met up with a golfer who lived on the course and he explained to me that Louis Oosthuizen frequents the course. Also, during the Bay Hill, Tony Finau played a round here. Normally I’d take this with a grain of salt but considering the group behind us had Little John Daly in it I believe it. Great course and will be back to play the International.

Better condition then reunion courses / staff friendly

Ive been in the area since Feb. Ive golfed all the courses in the area many times. Falcons, mystic, Waldorf, celebration, the disney courses, dubs dred, you name it I've golfed it. Even panther and orange county,

Ive golfed the national and international,15-20 times over the past 2-3 months because its very hard to beat all around. Value, condition, staff!!! They got it right!! Pat in the pros shop is great. Everyone is really. The young and old boys at the bag drop are always so kind to my wife and i. I just cant say enough.

Only negative is the 19th hole. Food is good but not open very often for dinner/ lunch. (Sat,sun) You can still grab a hot dog but I'm a vegetarian. :(

Anyhow i must end a positive note. great course layout greens fairways and tee boxes are way above average and trust me on this pls as im staying in reunion where they charge 120-195 around still and the courses here are not as well kept and definitely not as friendly. PLAY IT, you cant go wrong..... keep in mind this is at omni champions gate dont confuse with champions gate. Have fun :)
