Rating 74.1

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.

Champions Gate - National

Course is in excellent condition, fairways and greens. The only minor issue is soggy/muddy area close to green on hole 9. There is a natural water hazard on the right side and the soggy/muddy area on the left by the cart path. Miss the green right or left and you can find yourself in trouble. Everything else is in great shape!!

Great Course

We like the openness this course has. Great place to play. The staff in the pro shop are great. Haven't had a chance to have a meal there but, the dining/bar area looks fabulous and the food smells great!! Plus this course in only 20 minutes from our house.

Course In very good condition

Course fairways and greens were in very good condition although wet in certain areas due to recent rains. Greens in excellent condition and rolled very true and moderately fast. Some bunkers had water in them. There was some areas under repair, Some holes very tight with trees guarding both sides of the fairways. Fun course to play and good value. Staff very friendly particularly the Starter. Highly recommend

Champiogate

Excellent course, great condition except for temporary water in some bunkers due to heavy rain during the week. Greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Had some trouble finding the place due to lack of visible signs. That’s the area to be addressed, improve signs and make them more visible.

I played the National course, (my 4th time in a 9 day period), and it was in great shape considering the amount of rain we have had in the area. So clearly there is excellent drainage. The course layout is very playable for all levels. I am a 16 handicapper and feel comfortable playing from either the white tees when I am with high handicappers or the blue tees when playing with single digit handicappers. I do not play any further back than that. It is a fun track for players of all levels

Very nice course

The course plays a little tight. It forces one to be careful of the tee. Considering the amount of rain the area has had the course was in good shape. Some sand traps were filled with water but most played ok. Greens were recently aerated but were on the way back and rolled just fine. Staff was great. I would definitely come back.

You will not find a better Greg Norman track for this price

Course was soaked but they didn’t make it cart path only. Starter was very friendly as well as the entire staff. Would and will beat this course to death for the summer rate. Not overly challenging but will keep good players honest.

Not what I expected given previous reviews

With regards to the course the greens still show signs of airification which took place last month, and the waste areas are that wet, if they are not holding standing water the ball is actually plugging in some of them! The course layout is very forgiving in the large part which therefore doesn’t provide much of a challenge.

However the biggest issue I had was the greeting. With the exception of the pro shop; specially the bag drop to the starter - I found this facility the least welcoming place I have visited in 20 years of coming to the USA! Not to forget, no towels on the cart, the touch screen GPS being misaligned and also being provided with the wrong scorecard made this a below par experience.

Challenge

If you are looking for a pro style course that is fun and challenging I recommend taking your best shot here. The course was amazing even with aerification just being completed. The staff was absolutely so friendly and amazing. I will definitely come back and play this course again and again.

Challenging but still good scoring opportunities

Greens had just been aerated but overall in great shape. Summer heat not an issue as light rain on and off kept us cool. Greens in good shape considering the treatment. All other aspects excellent. Staff was awesome and made it feel like my home club. Pro shop well stocked and in top level manner. My adult sons were impressed that I treated them to golf at a luxury club!

great day great time excellant course

This was my first time playing this course. What a great time. From the time we pulled in to the time we left everything was top notch. Was pleasently surprised that the rate was cheaper when i arrived as a florida resident. First win of the day. The staff was extremely helpful and very attentive. The course was pretty soft with all the rain lately but only two holes were cart path only. Everything was in great condition. The greens were very receptive to shots and rolled very true and somewhat fast. Could not of asked for a better day with my son and will definitely return again and again. It was very hot but there was water on alot of holes and the beverage cart came around often. can't wait to play the other course when it reopens. If you're a local and haven't play here you are missing out as you can't beat the price !

Beautiful day for golf

Weather was beautiful, course was beautiful, if my golf game could have kept up with his nice and everything else it would have been an awesome round. I have not played this horse in years and it really blew me away how nice the greens and Fairways played.

Course in great shape - but no drinking water on course

The National course was in great shape considering the amount of rain it has recently received. The one big negative was that the water coolers past 4 were empty - ran out of water on 8 - it was 93, with humidity near 100% - a really dangerous situation in Central Florida in July - really disappointing for a hiigh end property
