ChampionsGate Golf Club - National

Very nice golf course but given the choice I choose the International for its challenge, layout and overall condition. But don’t get me wrong, the National is a very nice course to play.

The course was in great shape and greens were exceptional. Nice job. It was windy that day and the course is relatively flat and open, some trees. Although not as open as the international course. Struggled with distances because of the wind but still enjoyed the round. GPS on carts was helpful.

Very nice golf course. Only negative was the slow pace of play due to members allowed 5 people the group several groups in front of us. Looked like 6 groups total waiting for them to play and is was not fun . They knew they were slow and we could here them laugh about.

We played the National course… nice layout, super green fairways, fast rolling greens difficult to read! It was a pretty gusty & windy day so needless to say we’d like to come back under better conditions. Pace of play was a bit slow as we were always waiting for the foursome in front of us… you kinda lose your momentum. But, all in all an enjoyable experience.

Had played the National years ago and always preferred the International. However, gave it a go again. Was super pleasantly surprised with how good the greens were. Having played several other courses this trip, I must say these were the best. So much so that I am going to try and book another round here before we leave. Was able to get a good price on a hot deal at GolfNow which was another bonus. Highly recommend the course.

Very beautiful new course, layout is very tough, lots of bunkers! Forces you to lay up or carry them....greens were a hard on the aporoach shots but true and beautiful...would difinetly play it again for the Challenge.....we played the Blue tees....my friend and I are long off the tee so that distance wasn't a problem......but a bunker was waiting for us...

Played the National course. Really enjoyed the overall layout and conditions of tees, fairways, bunkers and greens. GPS on carts always great to have especially using the touch screen to get some layup yardages. The staff was also friendly and welcoming. Only downside was that there was no food service at the restaurant post round because of the wind/rain storm had them shutting down early. The course played extremely difficult with the wind storm we had but it helped that we used the white tees at 5900 yards vs usual length of 6400-6500. Final words, this courses' greens were super smooth and quick and the highlight of the golf trip. Without a doubt the greens were 100% better than any of the other courses I played in the days prior (Disney-Palm, OCN Panther Lake, and Mission Hills El Campeon ). Further I avoided Shingle Creek and Lake Buena Vista as the greens were on the slower side based on what I saw at these courses and feedback from a junior player about LBV. All courses I've listed are good golf club layouts but the greens for me are most important and Champions Gate-National was superior! Great job

The layout of the course is awesome. Beautiful landscaping and exceptional greens and fairway conditions. I highly recommend this course to future golfers. My only issue with the playability of this golf course is the pace of play. They have two separate courses, but both courses were log jammed. It took five hours to complete the round, which is two hours longer than I care to play. Other than pace of play, which is somewhat out of their control, this course is a definite must to play in the Orlando area.

Everything with one exception was terrific but the slow play of the group in front of us was really hard to put up with. It took away from what otherwise would have been a wonderful day. They played from the blue tees and no one in the group had the skills required to play from there. They waited to hit 2nd shots into greens and never came close to reaching the greens. Not fun!

First time playing. We all (4 of us) loved the course. It is my new favorite course to golf when we come to get away from cold and snow every year.

My only problem was I left my good visor in women’s restroom when we were finished and no one turned it in. This makes me sad.

The National course at Omni Championsgate exudes excellence across the board. From conditions of the course to the customer service, everything there was simply 5 Stars. It rained heavily the previous day, but the course dried out nicely and was in excellent condition the day of play. Valet parking, nice GPS systems on carts, club valets, all excellent customer service. Course plays long on the front, especially if the wind is slightly up that day. Completely open so any wind is felt. Back nine wasn’t as long. Play smart. Stay short of bunkers and you shouldn’t have much trouble scoring. Newer greens, noticed much less break throughout the day from them having little grain. Putts stayed straighter. Excellence, must play, looking forward to the a International in a few days.

The course was OK the people they teamed us up with or by that I mean they weren’t friendly at all

Everything with few exceptions was very good. We all rented clubs and the woman in our group got right handed clubs and they gave her a left handed putter. Pro shop employee after round was not very accommodating. Everything else was perfect and the course condition was great.

Visiting Fl from Michigan and have played several courses. This one was fantastic. Greens were not unfair with huge breaks but had subtle ones that were hard to read. Course was pristine. Carts had GPS and maps of each hole. Pace of play was fast with an 11:30 am start. Hot Deal price was a great value and the only way to go if you are out of state as there are local and out of state rates. Our tee time was for 11:10 and we got caught in traffic (PLAN FOR THAT IN THIS AREA). We showed up at 11:25 and they got us out as a twosome with no problems.

we played the National Course early and loved it. Great conditions and fun to play. My two boys and I played several courses in the area on our visit to Orlando. We all good players who play often and this was the best course we played (out of 5). Add it to your list if your playing in the area.

Probably in the best shape of any public course right now. Greens great, boxes great, fairways too... Would play again in a heartbeat.

A must play if you can get a decent rate - course is always in excellent condition. Very strong par 5's. Par 3's, with the exception of hole 15, are weaker. Facilities and bar / casual dining always worth a visit
