ChampionsGate Golf Club - National
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 Experience!
Today was my first time ever playing this course and I was extremely satisfied. Both the staff and the course were absolutely amazing!! The beer cart ladies were a life saver too and I saw them 4 times during the round. This place will take good care of you. The pace of play was great at just over 3 hours start to finish and the course condition was immaculate. A round of golf here is well worth the price for the outstanding experience you receive. I will be back!
Great track, challenging
Track had just reopened and was in great shape. Greens were tricky, very nice but not as fast as they looked. Included range balls, and staff was friendly. Bring your A game cause this course is harder than International.
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.
Very good layout in excellent condition. Greens were a bit slower than usual which brought more grain into play, but they rolled well and true.A very enjoyable day of golf.
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.

ChampGate -- First Class Operation
These are strange times, but I got The Big ....to play golf! ChampGate is a great facility to practice & play 2 outstanding resort courses, plus the CGCC is newest, but awesome. Not many players on this day, thus play/practice w/o worry & still done in 3hrs. National in great shape, especially great greens. Good Par5's, especially #18. Thanx to GN for discounted rates this time of year amidst CoronaV shutdowns. The staff was professional & allowed 1p to a cart. Great day @ CG National!
Terrific! Thank you so much for your review. We're glad that you enjoyed your experience with us and that you felt safe playing our course. We look forward to having you back again soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!

Great first experience at CG National
We had a great day. Our tee time was 7:40 and we were paired with another couple that are members of ChampionsGate. It was a beautiful day - the staff was super friendly. The course was in excellent shape. The layout, with lots of bunkers that come into play (trust me), was fair but also enough of a challenge. We played in 3 hrs 45 minutes. Perfect. Everything went smoothly - valet service was fast and efficient.
Excellent! 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.

A beautifully designed, well run golf experience
What stands out about this course is the subtle differences that make it superior to cookie cutter Florida courses. An excellent mixture of long and short 3s, 4s and evening 5 par 5s, a couple reachable in 2; a couple not so much. Absolutely you will use all of your clubs in your bag, and all the various skills in your arsenal. The course is well kept and beautiful, the residential housing is not right on top of the fairways, so kudos to the developers for that. The support facilities and personnel are top notch. The only thing that detracted from the experience was the group that kept hitting into us on the last few holes. It was a long round with a lot of waiting, but hey you’re in Orlando at the February break. It was a group of members of the club, I found out after the round who slunk away before I could confront them. That shows their lack of character. There are jerks at every club, but if you’re going to resent the public playing your course go join a truly private club. If you want low dues at your club don’t hit into the people who are subsidizing you. Other than that I strongly recommend making this course a stop on your golf trip.

ChampionsGate National
Played the sister course of the International the day after. Greens are definitely not true to the practice green. Much slower. I would suggest playing the course if you are on vacation and haven’t tried it before. I believe in giving all courses a chance at least once. Maybe after playing the International first and with it’s true green speed and conditions resembling my home course, I was expecting the same conditions but different layout. Overall, the staff, practice range and customer service was top notch. The course just didn’t meet up to my expectations.

Great course. Not cheap but condition of rough ,fairways and greens warrant the cost. The staff at the pro shop and starting ,finishing area were outstanding. That was the third time I've played here in the last two years. Fourth time will be next month.
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.
