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.

This course is great all around
If you want to enjoy a great round of golf you must include this course in your wishing list.
I truly enjoyed playing here.
What's not to like!!
This is the time of year us Fl. boy's get to play the fancy courses. We look forward to this time of year, the National was super. Greens rolled perfect and areas around the greens were perfect. A real treat, we will be back several times this summer!
not for beginers
course was in good condition generally but three of the greens had been hollow tined and dressed with sand this did not affect the role of the ball though. greens were fast throughout. the first few holes are littered with bunkers so accuracy is at a premium. pace of play was good and drinks truck was seen often,
Great Course
Challenging course which uses every club in the bag! Lots of hazards so strategic play is sometimes good but long enough to require a degree of power also. We really enjoyed this course, it’s in a nice spot so the environment is pleasant and adds to the fun of the course. In summary, a must play if the price is right but it does get pricey in peak season, probably for the reasons that I have mentioned plus, the off course facilities are very good. So thumbs up from me!
ChamionsGate
Keep up the good work! Course is in very good condition and well maintained. Will definitely play there again and highly recommend it to other fellow golfers.
Played here a few times before I had shoulder surgery. The greens were replaced last year and have really come in nice. Greens were in as good a shape as any course around. Course was not crowded and our twosome didn't catch the group ahead of us until the 14 th hole. Played in 3.5 hours even waiting out a pop up shower. Very nice clubhouse and staff all very friendly.
PLUGGED GREENS AND NO WARNING!!!
It's a good course normally but I fault GolfNow as well as Champions Gate as there was zero warning that they had just airified the greens. We played 5/26/18 and they were still horrible. And by horrible I mean a putt would bounce ankle high. No warning on the Golf Now website, no mention when checking in, just a very poorly managed situation all the way around. There is just no excuse for it in my mind!!
Nice Course
The course has good layout and a mix of interesting holes. Also very peaceful as 15 of the holes are well away from any roads or buildings. fairways and bunkers generally in good condition.
However 2 minor issues on the day we went. Firstly there was a major event going on and there was no starter. Which meant nobody knew what was happening and if it was okay to start etc. Luckily I'd played the course before so we just went to the 1st and played. Secondly the greens had just been drilled and sanded. No issue with this except this was not mentioned the day before when I booked the round. We were given discount but as we were already there we didn't really have the opportunity to pick a different course. Both should have been mentioned on Golf Now before booking.
Exceptional
Top notch course in every way. Service was over the top. The practice area was fantastic. The course itself was amazing. Played The Norman designed International course. LOVED IT! Lots of sand, water, large undulated greens. Lots of great views and wild life. We saw an American bald eagle! Was paired with a fantastic group of guys. And a GREAT deal on Golfnow didn't hurt. Awesome time! Will be back next trip.
Great course
Great couese, super staff, excellent condition. Great value for money. We’ll be back
Awesome
Fantastic condition! greens were excellent the course was alot of fun to play, very challenging but also fair can't wait to get back there
Great all round condition
2nd time playing , joined 3 guys had a great time great company , will be back , thanks
Great Course! Tough. But great.
Played the National course. (There is two. National and international) Course was very well kept. Very tough. But fun. Tough because of the huge amounts of sand traps. Greens were in great condition and very very fast. Onlyissue with the round was staff was running of a tournament finishing up. But they were still friendly. No bev cart on the course and no real chance to ever get back to the club house was our only actual issue. Would definitely play again.
Excellent course, pace of play was good, great time with good friends...highly recommend course!!!!
Awesome condition and staff
Haven't played this course since it opened but was very pleased with the conditions and the friendly staff was a bonus. The course was open yet challenging and the greens were firm but true. The staff from the check in to the finish were all friendly . Will play again.
