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.

Champions Gate
Great day of golf! First time at Champions Gate CG. National course. Impressive! Greens and fairways in great shape. Some challenging holes.
Friendly and helpful staff! I’ll be back!

A round with my son
We treated ourselves to a round as we had not planned on it. Club hire was exceptional, Calloway rogues and Epic driver. Course very good nick, friendly people. We were teamed up with a member which came as a surprise and although he was ok it did detract from some special time with my son. I think it would be fairer to mention this ahead of booking as we may have played somewhere else if we’d known.
Great! Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. ChampionsGate Golf Club thanks you!

Overall great round!
I have played the course for a few years. It doesn't disappoint. The course is in very good condition now and the greens are rolling pretty good even with signs of aeration perhaps a few weeks ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Excellent! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!

old man wins
It was a great round for me, not so good for my big hitting (big mouth) nephew. Course was in great shape as always.
Wonderful! 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 choice
ChampionsGate National was a great experience. I booked as a single through Golf Now for $57 including taxes and fees. I arrived early but staff were happy to let me start early and were very friendly with advice, directions and general chat. The course itself is a really interesting layout with a good variety of holes, a lot of character and individuality. It was in excellent condition throughout despite recent heavy rain and I was able to ride on the fairways on all but one hole. Greens were sift but running true and good pace. The club shop had a good range of clothing and accessories. I would happily recommend and revisit this course.
Outstanding! 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.
Always great!
As always, super friendly staff, course in excellent condition despite the large amount of rain lately, and the layout is always challenging. Unfortunately being a resort golf course there are tons of “once a month” golfers who end up causing 5 hour rounds. I would still recommend the course due to everything else being excellent.
Wonderful! Thank you for your 5-star rating! We appreciate your feedback and we will use your review to improve. Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
Two thumbs up
Booked my round on Thursday and we got at least 4 inches of rain Friday into Saturday. Course drains better than any I have ever seen. 90 degree on all holes but one and they apologized and said they are working on it. Course was challenging and made you think and with the rain in amazing shape. Would recommend this to any average to above average golfer looking for a challenge
Terrific! Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing ChampionsGate Golf Club.
Quick and Fun afternoon round
Have played the International before but first time playing the National. It just recently reopened after some course maintenance work. Found course and greens in Great condition and were greeted by a friendly staff. Got a Great deal thru GolfNow which made it even better. Would have liked to play both courses the same day to get 36 in but the International is now closed for maintenance but I'm sure it will be back in as good of conditions as the National did.
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.

Terrific! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon at ChampionsGate Golf Club!
Finished just before the storm
I hadn't played this course since the renovation, i was quite surprised. It was in fantastic shape and the greens were rolling nicely. Played in just over 3 hours. I think i prefer the National layout over the International. Can't go wrong with either!
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.
The Course is Fun to Play
The course is in excellent condition. The greens are great with undulating pin placements but rolled really good. The fairways were excellent with almost no brown outs or bare areas. Some holes but not many were a little wet due to recent rains. Some bunkers were very muddy and no rakes in some and some weeds growing. The course layout is a little confusing when going from some holes to next tee box. Overall a really good course to play and good value during summer time.
Great! 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.
Go and play this course.
This place is in great shape for this time of year and after renovation. Greens rolled true and their pace are spot on. Very fair layout and had plenty of options from the multiple tee placements. I played the blue tees and was rewarded when you hit the fairway.
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.
Excellent! 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!
