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.

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
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!
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed from your round with us. Thanks for reviewing us!
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!

Championsgate National
This course was in excellent shape today. The greens were fast but fair. Hardly any development around the course so a very tranquil setting. A good and fair challenge..

Rude staff
Played in the rain on the morning of 3/5/18. Course layout is fair and was in good condition. The staff here needs some lessons in customer service. We asked the guy behind the counter when we checked in what it was looking like for possibly replaying on the international course after we finished the national, he responded by looking at the weather forecast on another computer and said “looks like a good bit of rain” another gentleman asked how we were doing, and the same question was asked, to which he responded “it’s whatever he said” (referring to rude staff member 1). Moving onto the bag drop guys, the guy setting up carts got smart with another member of our group because he used a towel that was sitting on their counter to wipe off some “complimentary” tees and the cart seat. The starter Wayde was the nicest staff member we met all day.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We apologize that our staff didn't leave a great impression on you. We strive to give all of our guests the best experience possible. We appreciate your feedback and we'd love the chance to learn more about your round with us.

A Very Nice Afternoon
Have played this course several times over the last five years. I was pleasantly surprised today when the course was in the best shape I have ever seen. Pace was OK at 4:30 and we were a two-some behind a few four-somes. Greens were in great shape but it never ceases to amaze me how many idiots don’t fix ball marks.
I intend to try to play it again before we head north. Thanks for a great day!
Excellent! We're glad that our course conditions met your expectations 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 for your next round!
Great course
Despite awful pace of play - five hours for the round with a lot of waiting - we had a really good time. Course is in great shape and offered plenty of challenges. Will definitely be back.
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We apologize that the pace of play was slow and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Great Layout
A Championship layout in every aspect. Considerably different from the Internatiomal Course. You are challenged on many of the shots. They have these waste bunkers on a few of the holes which are either filled with water or mud.,like quicksand, We just pulled the ball to a dry area. Pace of play was steady. Greens roll pretty true but were slow, relatively. My wife likes this course better, I prefer international which is a bit more challenging. Service from valet parking until you leave is top notch!!!.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We're also glad that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you and your wife back soon!
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!
