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.

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!
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.
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!
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!
