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
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.

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.

About as good as it gets
We played this course on hot deal minus four rewards in a blistering hot afternoon while our golfing friends in the uk were playing a bank holiday mixed comp in the cold (low 50's ) we were in shorts and tee shirts they would be in trousers and lined jumpers (maybe even waterproofs ) the course is in great condition the greens like a undulating snooker tables excellent layout good quality golf carts with built-in course guide only negative was the fairways had a lot of divot holes that had'nt been filled in by other golfers or yesterdays heavy rain had washed the sand away none the less the course was a great test of golf and if we get the chance of a good deal again we will be back .Thanks and keep up the good work
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We're also glad that our course conditions met your expectations. We can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
Overall a very good course
Personal was great. Got rained out after 10 holes. Gave a rain check without any issues. Course was in good shape.
Awesome! We're pleased 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 that rain check!
Great course, really poor service
After playing some Disney courses, we were disappointed by the lack of hospitality exhibited by the staff at champions gate. . We were ignored by proshop staff for several minutes before one grumpy fella said “what do ya want?” Later, we tried to flag down the cart girl and she waved and drove right by us. It seemed like they were focussed on a tournament that was happening on the other course and maybe a little overwhelmed. At the end of our round, there was no one present in the pro shop or the bar. Finally someone did show up but we were quick to pack up and head elsewhere for apres golf. The course itself was well worth it but in a town that offers the full service experience , this one was lacking. For what you pay, our money is better spent elsewhere.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course, but we apologize that our staff didn't leave a great impression on you. This is not the type of experience we strive to provide for our guests. We would love the chance to learn more about your time with us. Please reach out to us at championsgategc@gmail.com at your earliest convenience. Thank you again and we look forward to speaking with you!
Would play again
Was not sure what to expect when everyone in the pro shop called it the easier of the 2 courses and the International Course was called “The Evil Twin.” This one certainly had some teeth with the first 8 holes playing into a club or 2 club wind. But course is definitely gettable if you place your ball in the fairway or reach the 2 driveable Par 4’s (14 and 17).
Conditions were great. Greens rolled true and were receptive (rain last night might’ve helped that).
Once you get on the third hole, you really feel like you’re out on a nature preserve or some other nature adventure. Surrounded by trees, bushes, honeysuckles, etc.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
