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.

Much improved from last year

We played the National course last year at about the same time and were disappointed. But what an improvement this year. Greens were exceptional and fairways and tee boxes beautifully presented. Staff first class, friendly and professional.

I enjoyed my golfing experience at Champions Gate.

The weather was sunnyy but cool the day I played the National course at Champions Gate. I was partnered with a wonderful couple from England. We had great conditions for playing the course. The greens were fast, the fairways were cut short which allowed playing them a treat. The clubhouse was well equipped. The staff provided excellant service. I would not hesitate to recomend this course to any golfer who is looking for a challenge. There are four tee boxes so from the scratch to the high handicapper golfer there is room for all. Cheers

Well Conditioned Course

Championsgate National was a well conditioned course in this area. It is a very challenging golf course when played from the Black or Blue Tees, particularly on a cool and windy day like the one we played on. The course has been re-routed following construction and at times the treks between holes are quite long. Course was in very good shape and greens were not lightning quick but consistent. For the rate we paid this was an excellent deal... would not be a great deal to pay the rack rate.

A Fun Yet Challenging Venue

This course features a very unique layout with each hole being distinctive. The first time you play it will test your analytic abilities as well as your shot-making. At the conclusion, you will likely look forward to a return engagement.

Cart path only

The course was cart path only because of overseeing and no mention of this was made when booking was made.

Mixed review

The course was fine, greens were in good shape and fairly fast, lots of sand, challenging but not not overly so. There were however a couple of glaring problems. While sitting in our golf cart by the starters area, the language that was being used while I sat and waited for my husband was beyond profane and completely unprofessional. Second, we had to rent clubs, the cost of that was twice what the green fee was, what the heck is going on with that!!!! And finally, every time we looked at the cart GPS it was on an advertisement for a restaurant or event or something else, we constantly had to keep switching back to the course view, super annoying. I do want to say that the bartender in the lounge was great, I think his name was John.

Awesome track, excellent condition

Played with a couple from Omaha and the pace of play was excellent, played in 3:25 minutes, course was challenging from the Blue Tees and course was in excellent condition. The greens were quick and rolled very well. It was a great day, scored well.

Well worth the visit

No golfing complaints whatsoever. Excellent golf facility all round. However there was a large golf party playing before us the same day who had obviously had been given a lunch box or similar the course letter bins were over flowing with their rubbish and empty beer cans/bottles. An unsightly mess over the entire 18 holes. The entire water stations had been emptied of H2O, not good on a very hot afternoon. Come on CG these small issues can easily be addressed by emptying the litter bins and refilling the water stations through the day.
