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.

Outstanding! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
National Course
Really nice course. Super friendly service from everyone. Somehow I was solo and did not encounter any other golfers ahead or behind me. Course was in great shape. Free range balls and GPS in the carts. Interesting elevation and rolling fairways.
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!

Great golf course very friendly staff and a beautiful club house. Love playing this course very challenging but a lot of fun! Greens , fairways , sand traps , teeboxes all top notch
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.
Worth the Trip
Excellent course that is worth the drive from Orlando. Course is located about 10 miles down I4 towards Tampa but it is worth the trip. Challenging layout that has generous driving areas on most holes but small and difficult to hit greens. Greens are relatively flat but putt very true and will accept a well struck approach shot. Worth the dollars to play.
Fantastic! 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.

Great course
Played many courses in Orlando over the past few weeks and National course greens are the best. First rate golf facility and a beautifully presented, interesting course.

very good course. Fairway and green in excellent condition. Course a little bit narrow unless you drive straight. I highly recommend this course if you are in Orlando.

Great Golf at ChampionsGate
Teed off at around 11am course is in great condition, the first hole seems quite easy for stoke index 1 but don’t let that fool you, some challenging holes to follow.
We have played Jack Nicholas courses in England, Europe and the USA and my husband is convinced that he must have had shares in a sand company as there are always a lot of bunkers! This course is no exception.but still very enjoyable. The 18th is very challenging indeed water to the left bunkers on the right with a big tree just off the centre to the right, placing your ball is the best option but hayho you go for it lol. Fantastic days golf
Awesome! 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 Canadian Review of The National
First time playing this course, staff was friendly and the course especially the greens are in GREAT shape!
As a single golfer, I caught up to a foursome on the 16th hole. With a marshal sitting in the cart watching the foursome hack up the hole. The marshal seeing that I was a single, have the foursome wave me through.
Not a chance!! It took me over an HOUR to play the last three holes!! What is the sense of having marshals when they don't take control of the situation??
Overall, a very good experience and I will return from Canada to play this course again!!!
Awesome! We're glad you enjoyed first time playing with us and 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.
Poor Management
I had to play behind a six some? What’s up with that? On a championship course? No rangers! No one to supervise play!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Solid top course.
Course conditions were great with the exception of a few wet waste areas, but the free drops easily solved that. Would definitely return here. Can certainly see why this is one of the top courses in the Orlando area.
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.
Poor staff
I would never guess they would allow six players to play together! No ranger on the course? What’s up with that? Had to buy a drink from the cart girl while waiting and to add insult to injury it was $20! See ya later! Much later!
