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.

Great golf course
Played with my family and the course was in great shape even though it has been raining in Orlando every day for at least a week.
Check in was easy, getting the cart and to the range was quick, and teed off on time. Starter was friendly and gave us a few tips about the course which were helpful.
Highly recommend this course.
Course in excellent condition
I played the National course on a Friday and Sunday a couple of weeks ago. The course was in excellent condition. As someone else noted what appears to be very large bunkers were a bit muddy, but there were also no rakes so I think these are meant to be ponds. They weren't a factor so I forgot to ask about them. I played the International course last year and this is definitely a tighter course BUT it is an easier course. There is simply no where to miss on the International course.
Ignore the review blasting the course as impossible to score on and the greens being way too fast. They have no idea what they are talking about. If you want to see fast greens, go down the road to the Waldorf. If you want to see what a golf ball on ice looks like, go play TPC Las Vegas Canyons. I will note on Friday you could see some remnants of sand in the greens which probably was slowing the ball some. There was some heavy rains which probably washed the rest of that sand away and on Sunday the ball was a little faster, but I had not toruble sticking the ball on the green. Also, this was the first timne I had played in about 3 months after a pulling a back muscle really bad. I left the driver in the bag both days. I think I actually played better as a result because the course really does setup nicely for some layups. I was playing holes from the green and not the tee and I was scoring jsut fine.
The staff on Friday was super nice. The staff on Sunday acted like they would rather be doing other things. They weren't rude or anything, but a noticeable difference in their pleasantness. Beverage cart came around a lot both days. Facilities and water are stationed very well and plentiful.
Overall the work they have put into National has paid off. The course was in the best condition of any course I have played in a long time. It's an incredible value for the price. If you can hit the ball fairly straight you will be just fine, especially if you plan your shots.
Great track!
The course was in great shape and the greens were the best that I’ve played in a long time.
Give it a try
Thoroughly enjoyed my round. Managed to go our early as the weather didn’t look too good later in the day. The conditions of the greens were excellent as were the fairways. The only downside was that some of the bunkers had a fair bit of water in them which to be fair is to be expected with all the rain recently. The last hole is a monster of a par 5 and took 3 good hits to reach the green. Would happily visit again on next years vacation.
Unmemorable and slow
This place is an ok track with lovely greens. A few nice holes but largely unspectacular. Conditions other than the greens were average at best.
Got a twilight time for $23 but it ended up a nightmare as we ran into some slow groups of non golfers.
Would not play here again given the choice in the area.
Great course, excellent value
Great value, almost felt like I was stealing from them. Course is in great shape except for some of the large bunkers which resemble ponds. But most “normal” bunkers were in great shape, as was rest of course, especially for the super low summer rates they offer. Will play another round today.
Great round
Beautiful golf course, great conditions and pace of play was perfect. Excellent day of golf. Very nice merchandise in golf shop purchased a shirt and golf towel and had lunch and food was terrific!
Awesome course - wish pace was better
Played from the blues, was long, challenging but fair, greens were excellent. Pace of play was awful, 3 hours to play front 9. Found the slow group that was holding everything up on #11 when they were hanging out at beverage cart for 20 minutes, we passed them and finished in an hour. No marshal in course, that could have prevented this frustrating ongoing waiting, plus it was 93 degrees. BUT, loved the course!
Championsgate National
Great layout. Challenging holes with risk reward options. Can play tough in the wind. A definite must play.
RAINED OUT
Father / son golf. Played only 6 holes when the monitor in our cart announced a dangerous storm in the area and advised us to seek shelter. We quit and received a rain check. We found the course to be in excellent condition before the rains. It has multiple tee boxes to suit your ability. We normally play the International course but it was closed to get new greens.
Great course, good practice facility and Hot price
Only paid $22 through GolfNow.com for the National course. arrived at the course and was welcomed by friendly staff, course condition was very good. Played my round in 3 and half hours. Really is worth a trip to play! Next time it will be the international course!
Course has a challenging layout
Overall the course was in good condition, it was a fun course to play and I look forward to playing it again. The tee boxes & course layout will accommodate high to low handicap golfers.
Great course, perfect condition, friendly staff
The course was in fantastic condition you couldn't find any flaws anywhere. A very friendly staff we even got out early as we always arrive ahead of schedule. We loved the deal we received for the green fees. Play this course and be amazed
Amazing
I played on the 6th and the course was so beautiful in all aspects I came back on the 8th. With all the rain lately only one hole cart path only. Every green was perfect. Unbelievable how nice this course was. I’ll be back next weekend and many more after that. Thank you to everyone at the course.
Go play it
Great track on the national course
Amazingly dry during our wet season
Fronts a little tight bit u can score on the back very fun and quite easy if u dont put YOURSELF in trouble
So I’m assuming you recommend this course? I’m playing in October
