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.

Somewhat Shocked
I have been playing golf at various courses throughout the Covid pandemic and this is the first time I was told a course stopped allowing one person per cart. Last I checked, the pandemic is still going on and will be until there is a vaccine. The attendant was nice enough to allow me to have separate carts this time but he was very clear that next time I come back he won’t make the exception. He said there was no county or state rule mandating two carts. While I don’t disagree, I feel strongly about social distancing at this time. Not sure if I will return or not until long after the pandemic is behind us.
We had a great time!
First time playing both international and National side. National side was a short track but the narrow fairways make it very challenging. Both courses were in phenomal shape!
Nice course but way to expensive for the
Price was like double what I’d say it was worth. Nice course. Well maintained. Greens and boxes were great. But non resident was pricey.
A Classic layout but a lot of $$$$
This is a great layout with friendly and considerate staff, but unfortunately it is truly overpriced especially for non residents. The course was in moderately good condition, greens were fast and ran well, traps were a bit thin in places, but still kept well. several tees were in need of repair. The cost just isn't justified at this time.
I would still recommend playing it, but look for special rates if at all available.
Not worth the money
We played the national course. Pacee of play wasn't good. We waited on every hole every shot. We paid $230 and it's not worth that. I'm a FL resident and play all over the state, season or not this is a $140 max fee course.
Great Resort Course
Friendly staff, great course conditions, easy to read greens, fun course layout and nice practice facilities.
A Top Central Florida Public Course
This course is challenging but great layout and makes you have to think about what club to pick on the tee box. This course along with Evermore’s Cypress Course are the best public Parkland Courses in Orlando.
Championsgate Club
I had the first tee time of the day, had some off time while on a business trip. Everything about this course impressed me. All of the staff from the pro-shop to the starters and even the groundskeepers make this experience one of the best I’ve had playing golf. this course is a must-play with amazing conditions and a fun time as well. Thank you Holly and everyone who helped me and my wife have a blast here!
Good Layout
I played the National at ChampionsGate as the 2nd round of 36 holes today. I played in and around a couple of thunderstorms so the pace of play was outstanding and I basically had the course to myself. Getting soaked was the only downside. It’s a nice layout. And pretty player friendly. A more traditional country club design compared to the International layout. The fairways are tight and the greens smaller. But it’s not overly tight and there is room to hit your ball. I would say it was in slightly better shape than the International right now which is just coming off being closed for aeration. The greens were smooth and soft from the rain. And the fairways and tees were in really good shape. There is a double green which was a cool feature. And 15 a par 3 on the back is a memorable hole. Bc you can’t see the green hardly for the brush in the forced carry area. Other than that hole not alot of forced carries. It’s a layout anyone can enjoy. And well worth the replay rate of $60 that I paid.
Hot Florida Day
Good outing at National. Greens were fast but didn’t move much. The tee boxes and fairways were in good condition and no restrictions on carts.
I would recommend to pack your own food. The cart is good with normal fare but a fresh PubSub would’ve been much better than the cart food.
Fair and challenging
Hadn’t played here in a few years. The staff was friendly and helpful. Inside and outside facilities top notch. The course in fantastic condition tee to green. During the round a player assistant came around at least 3 times with iced wet towels and free water bottles also ice cold.
Ate at bar post round and food was excellent. Price = quality today.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you did not like our shared rider policy. We handle each request for single cart usage on a case by case basis and do everything that we can to honor requests based on course/cart demands. Unfortunately, weekend mornings are more difficult to honor these requests than at other times.
We are following the stipulations of Executive Order 20-139 from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the enforcement agency of this Executive Order. The Golf Florida Alliance has received written clarification form Secretary Halesy Beshears allowing all sporting events in Florida to happen at capacity and this applies to golf courses ( including the use of golf carts), tennis courts, and outdoor events. This communication refers golf course operators to follow the golf industries Back 2 Golf guidelines version 4.0 that allows shared carts with the stipulation that proper facial coverings are worn by individuals who do not reside in the same household.
We have seen guest who have concerns with shared cart usage when we cannot make an exception either wear a proper facial covering, which we provide complimentary for those needing it, alternate holes using the cart, or walking the entirety of the round. We hope you are able to understand the logic behind this clarification of Executive Order 20-139. We would be happy to discuss this further at your convenience. Most day's we are able to honor single rider requests, however there are times when we are not able to, especially on Friday and Saturday mornings. Thank you again and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
