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.

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.
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!
Fantastic! 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.
Wonderful! Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.

Great! 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 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!
Terrific! Come back soon!
Excellent Playing Conditions Preceded by 1st Class Staff
Not that it was a surprise but the National Course was in excellent shape and the staff treated you oh so well. Knowing that i may get tied up by a small group which was going off the 1st & 2nd tee my starter told me to ride ahead and find a hole open and go from there. Made for a quick, well paced round. Conditions were close to perfect especially when so many other courses have bare spots in the fairways and dead spots on their greens. Highly recommend grabbing a round at CG as they are getting ready to close one of the courses for 5 weeks or so for maintenance.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We're also pleased that you were able to play at a good pace. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
The international
We played the international as we had previously played the national.The course was a true test of golf there were a few carries over water and the rough was punishing.The greens were undulating at times but alway ran true,the fairways were a little tight so you had to be accurate .We played in the hottest part of the afternoon which meant there we’re no other people on the course and we played a full round in less than 3.30 hrs.Would play here again
Excellent! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and that you were able to play at a good pace. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Great
Super nice course. Fairways and greens were immaculate. Greens seemed to be fairly new because it was hard to hold approach shots, but didn’t take away from how nice the course is.
Terrific! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Great course...not so great staff
We arrived for a 4:30 PM tee time, which we knew was relatively late. We were greeted after a couple of mins and our bags were taken to be put on the cart. We then waited about 10 mins to check in because no one was at the desk. After finally paying, we went to our cart but werent sure how to get to hole 1. We literally had to walk up to a bag boy, who couldn't care less about us, to ask where to go. His tone and body language were quite rude. After our round, we parked the cart and 2 bag boys must've been so eager to leave that they didnt bother asking if we wanted our clubs cleaned. Oh well. Maybe it was our fault for having such a late tee time. The course was in amazing condition
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations, but we apologize that our staff didn't provide you with the service we strive to provide all of our guests. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to use your review to help us improve. Thank you and we hope to have you back again soon!
Awesome, worth it!
Excellent conditions from tee to green. Not a single complaint. Course sets up fairly straightforward, so if you're swinging well, this course gives great rewards away.
Terrific! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Perfect experience
From valet park to car pickup it was a perfect day. Friendly staff all around. Course in perfect shape. Tee boxes, fairways, greens all perfect. Rough, bunkers, fringe all perfect. Several bunkers flooded but marked for free drop so no issue. Great layout, friendly for all handicaps from correct tee boxes. Step back one tee box and you stare at hour glass shaped fairways with very tight landing areas. Great pace of play and perfect lies all day. Lots of construction around the perimeters, but don’t blame the course, it’s central Florida and you should expect it. Restaurant a little pricey and slow, but that’s not why you go here.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your experience with us and that our staff left a great impression on you. We're glad that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout and that you were able to play at a good pace. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Absolutely Amazing!
The course was in great shape today, the staff was amazing. I feel guilty for playing this course at such a low rate. I tipped extra because I felt so bad getting on today for a steal. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.
Fantastic! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
