Length 7197 yards

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.

Great course in Central FL

This was my first time playing CG, but it will not be my last. Great course layout, friendly staff and a great value thanks to GN.

We played the National course. 4.5 hours on a Holiday is not bad. My only negative, was that the refreshment cart came around only once in 18 holes. Not a big deal for me as I do not drink alcohol when golfing, but the person they paired us up with was a bit annoyed by it.

Highly recommend. Can not wait to play here again

The staff is great. The course is in great shape. Greens are true and fast. Even with the rain the course was playable with fairways open to carts. You won’t be disappointed playing here.

another great round albeit hot & humid

First round after flew in last night. Followed family of 3-some but they played at good pace. It was a hot & humid day (no surprise here) but shot a great score until the last 2 holes when the storm brought heavy rain so gave self bogies but still shot mid 80s so no complaint. The down side is lost favorite hat while trying to beat the storm I had purchased in Cesky Krumlov so hopefully someone will return it. Overall always enjoy both National and International courses.

Nice course - will play again

We played here in 2016 when there was a lot of construction, we had to take dirt roads - it was smooth sailing through the course. We were able to go out earlier then 1:00. To our surprise, the golf pro from Apopka was working there - Charles - nice guy. We will be back to play hopefully, we'll get to play the International course.

Great Course!

The National is an awesome course to play! It has length, difficulty and, beauty. The greens were challenging, fairways were lush, and bunkers were consistent.

I will definitely play again.

Good shape but layout is average!

Course was in good shape and staff was friendly! The course layout is forgettable . Par 3s were below average. Course plays tight so left Driver in the bag on most holes. Overall was disappointed with design.

Made the cut this time

This was one of the four courses we played while here. This course ranks number 4 to the other, not saying that’s a bad thing. One thing that that was weird to me being from TEXAS the sand (trap) that runs all the way to the woods didn’t know if was trap or water way.

We played some nice courses while here. Not sure if this will make the cut next time..

Just got to love this course

What a fantastic experience to play the National course at Championsgate, from start to finish.

Friendly helpful welcome, starter who communicated what was going on and made the tee times work.

Well worth the visit if in the area looking for a tough but fair golf course. Good golf is rewarded with plenty of tees to choose from for different levels of golfer.

The course was in great condition

Bar staff were very friendly and offered an efficient service.

Once again well worth the visit

nice result

two of went out to play , i admitted to that started that I had nearly creid off with a bad back , but decided to give it ago as my partner was keen.

after the first hole i realised it was not going to let me play and i was driver while my partner played the rest of the round.

course was in great condition and the greens were really nice.

when i came in they asked how was the round and i said that i ended up not playing after the first.... they guys gave me a rained off ticket and i'll look forward to going back...

how decent!
