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.

Great conditions
Outstanding conditions. Tees ,fairways and greens. Loved the course Played The National. My only minor criticism is the last few par 4 holes were very short- like they ran out of room.
Nice course
The course was in excellent shape.........great time all around.......
Wonderful! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and we can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
Awesome Course
This course never disappoints! Great staff! Great warm up facilities! And the course rewards you for good shots but can penalize you when you hit a bad one!
Outstanding! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your time with us and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Omni Resort national thumbs up
Love this course. Very nicely maintained. Gorgeous greens and fairways. Challenging but playable for most amateurs. Definitely some gettable holes, but also plenty to pressure your swing. Play it!
Fantastic! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We're pleased that you loved your time with us and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Impeccable
We are Canadian snowbirds who travel to Florida for the past 15 years. This was our first experience at The National & we loved the course and the service. We will be back to play this course. It is a gem.
Outstanding! We're glad that you enjoyed your first experience on our National course. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Non typical FL course
Nice interesting holes. Holes 2-18 are set in a large “field - like” area where the holes criss cross each other.. the National course is not as challenging or busy as the resort’s international course. Twosomes allowed which is nice until things get backed up on the back nibe’s three par 3’s.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and that you found our layout interesting. We appreciate you review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Fantastic Layout
Pleasantly surprised at how the layout of the National course was set back away from everything. Quite serene, relaxing round of golf. Would definitely come back!
Terrific! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We're glad that you were able to have a serene, relaxing round with us and we can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
great day
fairways&greens excellent tee boxes a little beat up but not too bad really enjoyed this course
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and we appreciate your feedback. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Just awesome
Rhis was my first time playing CG. From the time you drive up you are treated like royalty. You just drive up. Leave keys in the car. Give name to valet. Done...that's it. After you pay for your round you walk out to the carts and your clubs and golf cart are ready. Go early to take advantage of their practice range. Pace of play was steady all day. No issues on what one staffer said was one of the busiest days of the year for them. Course was very wet. We golfed at 740 in the am and things were soaked. Other than that course was as perfect as it can get. No idea how they do this on such a busy course. Loved our rounds on this and the international bill be back.
Nice but a bit slow
It's a nice layout but it was a bit slow waiting on each hole especially on the back nine. Rangers were present on front but not the back so slowed down. High season rates should keep pace of play steady for the higher fees.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout but we apologize that the pace of play was slow on the back nine. Our staff does their best to keep play moving at a good speed but we appreciate your feedback. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Exceeded Expectations by far
From the moment you pull up to the valet to the time you leave; the staff really take care of you, your needs, vehicle and equipment.
The practice green is in great shape and I feel it was a true representation of the greens.
Tee boxes were in great shape, the fairways were perfect and the greens were terrific.
I played The National. I'm a high handicap and managed to keep pace. The trouble was mostly avoidable but did find more bunkers than I usually do.
Highly recommended, a great experience.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your experience with us and that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Fantastic Course and Conditions!
The course was in fantastic shape! Some of the best greens I’ve played in Orlando! Friendly staff and an overall great experience!
Fantastic! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff provided you with great customer service. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!

Played it for the third time this season! course is improving as it gets warmer. Cart girl was beautiful and came by frequently. Friendly and informative starter !
Excellent! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Wonderful course
This was my second time on this course. Great layout and the conditions were excellent.
Pace of play was a little slow as a single broke off from the group he went out with. Slowed everyone down.
Highly recommend this course, an really any of the CG courses. All are excellent
Terrific! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
Excellent Course buy slow play on front 9
The course was laid out well and the greens and fairways were in excellent condition. I think the area has had significant rain recently as the traps were all quite wet (some were actually full of water). The big issue was there was obviously a tournament about 4 groups ahead of us with perhaps 10 foursomes in the tournament. The front 9 was horrendously slow. The front 9 took 2 hours and 45 minutes. At some tee boxes there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. The tournament finished at the 9th hole as the entire group was watching everyone finish. The marshalls came by a number of times on the front 9 but nothing changed. On the back 9 because the tournament had finished we never had to wait to make a shot and we played the back 9 in 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We apologize that the pace of play was a little slow on the front nine, but we're pleased that the pace picked up on the back nine. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Disappointed
My foursome played at Orange county national, Crooked cat and Panther Lake, The Palm at Disney, Bella Colina and Grand Cypress, we had a great time playing all.. Our biggest let down was Championsgate. Too expensive, play was too slow. the course was in marginal shape and the clubhouse and grounds were full of litter. We were excited to finally get a chance to play this course after all we had heard over the years but it was nothing special at all. Championsgate will not be in our rotation next year.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and we'd love the chance to learn more about your round 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!
Loved it!
We really liked this course and everything Champions Gate offers. From the time we arrived until the time we left, the staff was awesome.
The course was very playable with some challenging holes. The greens were soft and fast, just the way I like them.
My wife had a hole-in-one on #6, so of course that made the round even better. We will definitely play here again.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your round with us and that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at ChampionsGate!
Fun time
Nick at the pro shop was the only friendly staff member I talked to. The other staff members seemed very snooty. The golf course was beautiful, very challenging but pace of play was slow. Still had a great time golfing. I will be back.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed your round with us and that our staff left a great impression on you. We apologize that the pace of play was a little slow and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
National at Champions Gate
There was no marshal to be seen during our round and we were always waiting to tee off and waiting on the fairways as well.The course conditions were terrible. There were areas on the fairway where the grass was sparse and there were weeds on the second cut of the putting greens. Very disappointed.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. Our staff does their best to keep everyone moving at a good pace, but we appreciate your feedback. We hope you'll give us another try in the future!
Champion’s Gate National
Disappointing course conditions. I was expecting better. There were lots of weeds everywhere and the traps were left ungroomed. It seems that this course has poor drainage which certainly affected play. The course appears to have potential but doesn’t live up to it and left us wondering why we didn’t find it a visually appealing place to place a round of golf (which took too long to play btw).
Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that our course conditions didn't meet your expectations. We apologize that you didn't enjoy your round with us and we appreciate your feedback. We hope you'll give us another try in the future!
Excellent! We're glad that you enjoyed paying our National Course and we appreciate your feedback. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
