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.

Great layout
Very nice complex with great practice areas. Good variations of holes with very good greens. Will return.
The National
This course is second to none it’s beautiful. Love to play it more often
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.
Very Nice Course
National course is in great shape. Weather was 77F but very windy, Front 9 went good but back 9 was very slow. All personnal were very friendly. Would play course again.
Terrific! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Enjoyable
Great layout of the course is very fair to play. The greens were for the most part true however a couple of them were quite bumpy. Overall it was a great experience and I will be back
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. Thank you for playing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Great time
Always enjoy playing both courses. Great food and overall just a great golfing experience
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.
Nice layout, very nice staff, greens were very good!, the only downside is people don’t rake traps or fix ball marks, pace of play was a little slow but it was a beautiful day!
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.
Almost perfect
From the pro shop thru bag boys at round's end, Champions Gate Omni staff couldn't be more friendly and accommodating. Practice facilities are more than adequate with range balls included in the price of your round. We played the National. The course layout was interesting and challenging with narrow fairways and plenty of strategically placed bunkers. Course maintenance is very good - a truly manicured course but for a couple of bunkers where drainage appeared to be an issue. The only reason I couldn't honestly give an overall 5 rating was one on-course restroom that was in dire need of attention. Nevertheless, I highly recommend playing Champions Gate-National & definitely plan on returning.

Missed the rain
A very good & forgiving course, wide fairways, not to much water but plenty of bunkers to catch you out.
Heavy rain in morning but as we teed off at lunchtime we missed it thankfully, course held up well considering.
I would definitely recommend this course but I do prefer the International as a real test of golf.
All the staff are excellent & the clubhouse/pro shop is one of the best I've visited.
We will definitely return.

Darren

Weather
A really good golf course, the course was in excellent condition, greens were medium pace and true, a small downside there were not enough sand rakes, but then again you should not be there in the first place.
The weather did not help the score very windy, but dry,
We did not stop to eat and drink as ter prices were to rich for us.

Consistent Quality
I’ve played this course several times over the years. I actually meant to play International but again scheduled National thinking it was the one I wanted to play. Even so, National is a consistently fun and challenging course. The greens are very consistent and good speed. There are some wet spots on a few holes around hazards and waste areas but overall very few relative to the whole course. The layout is fun and challenging and wind is usually a factor at least on some holes. 18 is a tough par at about 600 yards into the wind. There are plenty of trees, water hazards and lots of sand to make play appropriately difficult. A Hot Deal makes this and exceptional deal, but it would be fun at full price. We went to the nearby Omni hotel and enjoyed a beverage and dinner at David’s, a busy upscale place decorated in dark mahogany, leather, and a large bar with granite and large mirrors.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at ChampionsGate Golf Club. We're glad you had a great time on our National Course and we appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for a round on our International Course soon!
OK
Overall good experience with a disappointing ending. 16 and 17 are just bad golf holes, looks like they crammed the 2 holes into where there was room for 1. 18 is just okay, then there is the 1/2 mile drive back to the clubhouse. Play the International, it's a much better course.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We're sorry that you didn't enjoy the last 2 holes of our National Course, but we hope to see you back on the International Course soon!
Excellent course, maintenance and staff
I almost hate to give this course the review it deserve as I don’t want more crowds to contend with. It is a terrific course that is superbly maintained. The International gets all the attention and draws a lot of the traffic but the National is maintained just as well and is a more fun course in many respects.
Love this course.
