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.

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
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the couple you were paired with. We're also pleased that our conditions met your expectations and that our staff left a great impression on you. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
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.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We're also glad that our conditions met your expectations and that you found us to be a good value. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
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.
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!

Great course, friendly staff, well maintained. May have been a men’s night or big group out in front of us, we were a 2-some which made it a little slow. Otherwise fantastic round of golf.
Wonderful! We're glad 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 another fantastic round of golf with us!
Once played, once visited

Cart path only
The course was cart path only because of overseeing and no mention of this was made when booking was made.
Some bunkers were in poor conditions, very wet and unkept
Must play
Very nice course. Excellent conditions. . The only issue, it was cart path only because overseeding. If we have known, we woud not play. But it is a must play golf course
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.
great off season price
Enjoyed playing, Course not busy at this time of year so great deal
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.
Excellent! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our course and that you've noticed the improvements in our conditions. We're also glad that our staff left a great impression on you. We can't wait to have you back again soon at ChampionsGate!
