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.

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.
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!

Windy today made the course very challenging. The layout is fantastic, love to play it again.
Excellent! We're glad that you enjoyed the challenge of our course despite all the wind. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!

Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our greens and the challenge of our course. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Great greens
The course was in excellent condition and the greens were great. It was a fun course to play, but was still challenging.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course conditions and the challenge of our layout. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round with us!
Nice test of golf
Interesting layout which requires shot making skills. Certainly foolish to use driver on every par 4 as ball must be hit in proper spots to avoid penalties. Greens rolled true but were a bit slower than expected for a course of this caliber. Overall a very enjoyable round.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round with us!
Consistently good.
Played early. Great pace, no hold ups. Course in good condition. Staff very friendly. Highly recommended.
Terrific! We're glad that you enjoyed our our course conditions and that you were able to play at a good pace. We're also pleased that our staff left a great impression on you. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Overall one of the best!
The only thing that needs improvement is the bunkers. Staff is great, they all make sure you have a good time. Course conditions are superb. Greens, tee boxes and fairways won’t disappoint you! Give it a try you won’t regret it.
Wonderful! We're thrilled that our course conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
Great golf course
We love this golf course and try to always play here when in Orlando. Once again I got beaten by my son and no one is happier than me.
Fantastic! We're thrilled that you and your son enjoyed your round with us. We appreciate your review and we can't wait to have you both back again soon at ChampionsGate!
Great! Glad you enjoyed your time with us!

Poor pace
First time here. Never coming back. Great expectations but unfortunetly the pace of play made me never happy through the round. The course is in good condition and friendly staff. But I’m afraid I won’t come back here.

A Keeper
I played both Champion Gate course, the International and the National. Like both course very much - nice layouts and great conditions. I prefer the National, even though I played as poorly as possible. Long drive to 1st tee at the International, and long drive from 18th back to club house on the National.
Bring your A-game.
Wonderful! We're glad that you enjoyed both of our courses and that our conditions met your expectations. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Outstanding! Glad you enjoyed your experience with us!
