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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
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.

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.
Best in orlando
Best in orlando is right. Greens, fairways, tee boxes, pro shop, valet, range everything was IMACCULATE.
Anyone who complains needs to change their own attitudes. Staff was great, course was amazing. Hands down best condition course in orlando and I play twice a week all over orlando.
Wonderful! 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.
Excellent course in Fantastic condition
This was my first time playing the National Course. The course was awesome and is in fantastic condition.
The course conditions were fantastic. By far some of the best conditions of ANY course in the Orlando area. I have played 10 different courses in the area and this course is right up there with the very best courses and very best conditions. This course is easily the best course for the money.
The fairways were green and lush, the rough was thick and challenging, tee boxes were great, bunkers well taken care of and the greens were awesome. The greens were fast, smooth, and ran true.
Great practice facilities with range balls included in the price of the greens fees. I will definitely be back to play again.
Outstanding! 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 - National Golf Club.
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.
Wonderful condition, the best ever
Were very fortunate to play on July 11 the day the course reopened after maintenance. Played in afternoon and apart from a short shower after 4 holes which made some golfers end their round we played on and had the course to ourselves. Have never been so fortunate to play the course in such good condition, the starter told us it was in good condition but it was better than that, just brilliant. Can't wait to come back to Florida in the fall and play it again.
Outstanding! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time on our National Course and that our conditions met your expectations. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Rain, but worth it.
Great course. It rain for about 20 minutes then let up. The course is in good condition and the greens are amazing. Summer time in florida so it afternoon showers. Some parts maybe muddy but doesnt effect the course much. Definitely recommend it and I will be going back.
Wonderful! 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.
Greens are rolling....
It's been a while since I've played the National course and I was surprised by the quickness of the greens, even though you could tell they had been punched recently. All-in-all another great day at the course!

EXCELLENT Conditions on a Challenging Course
Havent played this course in a very long time. Usually play the National Course, but waited until the last minute to book and the International was the only one available. Called first to make sure they hadnt aerated, but it turns out they dont aerate until July and they shut down the course to do it. Anyway, onto the review. Course conditions were almost near perfect. Easily the best course for the money in central florida right now and I've played quite a few around recently. Fairways were green everywhere, greens were true and the tee boxes were in good shape. Went on a Saturday around 830am and the course was already crowded, but we were never held up by the group in front of us. They had 2 cart girls that made it around frequently and they had free practice balls at the range all day, not just in the morning. Was nice because it gave me a chance to hit a few after the round as well. The drive is a little far me but completely worth it. Glad I ended up at this course afterall.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you found us to be a good value. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Club rental
The price of rental was very high, over 60 dollars for a set , which is more than average rental and for that reason I wont play at thisclub again.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you felt our rental clubs cost was too high. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll give us another try in the future!
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.
