2/22/2010 - Good course. Posted by Ron (Moon Stone, Canada) 2/19/2010 - Too many shots that you do not know the distance or where to aim. Not that much fun. Posted by Lynn (Mechanicsburg, PA) 2/15/2010 - As first time visitors to the ChampionsGate facility, our little group (8 golfers) was thoroughly impressed. The entire staff at ChampionsGate personified professionalism and customer satisfaction-which is also evident on the course as you marvel at the playing conditions and the course design. Although we were only able to experience the National course during this visit to the Orlando area. you can bet that the International course will be on the agenda for the next trip. Posted by Dean (Hanson, MA) 2/11/2010 - Worth the money. Course condition was exceptional. staff could not do enough for you. A++ golf. Posted by Tim (Rochester, NY) 2/6/2010 - Our group really likes this course and everything about Championsgate - the pro shop, restaurant, bar, etc. Tough course on a windy day! Posted by Phil (Manchester, NH) 2/5/2010 - Great course, great service and in great condition. Tees are set up nicely to allow players to control the difficulty for all skill levels. Definitely on our replay list. Posted by Sam (Mount Joy, PA) 1/30/2010 - Great course (National) with a layout and design that most players will enjoy. 5th hole is interesting with a fairway tree that can force some golfers to alter their tee shot bringing hazard into play. Watch club selection if there is any kind of wind as the open layout will bring the wind into play. Posted by Thomas (Acworth, GA) 1/14/2010 - We do not like this course, perhaps because it was a a cold day with rain. Staff were unfriendly. Posted by Larissa (Indaiatuba, Brazil) 12/24/2009 - Great time. Course staff treated us really well. We were rained out and came back and played next day. Good job both to ChampionsGate and Tee Times USA to make this easy and hassle free! Posted by Craig (Toronto, Canada) 12/24/2009 - Course was okay, but I would recommend the International Course if you could only play one of the two. Posted by Mick (Flagler Beach, FL) 12/13/2009 - The greens were not in the best conditions. Round was slow. Prefer the International Course. 11/12/2009 - I've played this course before and appreciate it's layout and difficulty level. It is very playable for my skill level of around a 10-12 handicap. Conditions were good for the time of year. There were very few others out which made the round unrushed. Highly recommend. Posted by David (Syracuse, NY) 10/8/2009 - Good course. Some very good holes to play. Rank this number 3 of the courses I played. Would play again. Posted by James (West Lothian, United Kingdom) 10/2/2009 - Same as the International. A bit disappointing, dry and not in the best condition. Appeared to be slit seeded. Some bare spots in the fairways. Great course but again, not the best condition. Posted by Brian (Greenwood, IN) 8/28/2009 - Very nice layout. Only the greens were just plugged. Great staff and crew at ChampionsGate. Posted by Don (Lafayette, LA) 6/23/2009 - The course was in excellent condition, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the best of the courses we played during our stay. Would definitely want to return. Posted by Jesus M. (Lancaster, PA) 6/11/2009 - Enjoyed the course, comparable to links course, great conditions, facilities and service. Posted by Daniel (Cos Cob, CT) 6/2/2009 - Great course to play. I played National and I would play it again without thinking twice. Posted by John (Sayville, NY) 5/31/2009 - Excellent resort facility. Both courses in excellent condition this year. Staff was very courteous and accomodating. Hadn't played Champions Gate in a few years. This year our golf trip was after peak season rates; making the Champions Gate 36 hole experience a reality again. Hopefully we can return to Champions Gate in 2010, pending our vacation week and the cost effectiveness of this resort's rates. Posted by John (Whitman, MA) 5/29/2009 - What can I say about Champions Gate? Well, when you have one of the best teachers in golf teaching there, no words can explain the staff and courses they have. Just Amazing. Posted by Alfredo (Miami Lakes, FL) 5/7/2009 - A bit disappointed with the condition of the greens. The layout was a bit confusing, hard to find one hole to the next. Posted by Bill 4/9/2009 - Course was in average condition, little or no rough and fairways very firm. Posted by Justin (Decatur, GA) 4/9/2009 - Good course, greens a little patchy. Posted by Robert (Presto, PA) 4/2/2009 - The area is very nice and the course looks great from the road. However the course was worn. Tee boxes were ok but some greens did not have grass in spots. 3/26/2009 - Excellent course; Nice range and club house. Posted by Yagnesh (Piqua, OH) 3/21/2009 - Excellent, excellent, excellent. Posted by Harry (Ft. Jefferson Station, NY) 3/19/2009 - A beautiful course. I will recommend this course to my friends. Posted by Nicolas (Flagler Beach, FL) 3/12/2009 - Great course. Disappointed no one turned in the sand wedge I left at one hole. Posted by Barry (Kinnelon, NJ) 3/6/2009 - A four star rating is well deserved. Course and staff were super. Posted by Tyke (Knoxville, TN) 2/25/2009 - Great facilities and resturant. Exceptional service. Course was in excellent shape as well as the greens rolled true. Posted by Sheldon (Thornhill, Canada) 2/23/2009 - Not as good as the International. Would not play again. Posted by Carl (Arnold, MD) 2/23/2009 - We teed off at 1:50, but they were running approx 10 minutes late. The group in front of us was very slow, and we knew we had to hustle to finish 18 in daylight. We never saw a marshall, called into the pro-shop and still no one came out to move them along. There were 1 1/2 - 2 holes open in front of them. We were only able to play 15 holes that day, and were waiting on almost every shot. Posted by Stewart (Virginia Bch, VA) 2/14/2009 - Not as good as the International course. Weird mix of yardages on holes, and a couple of holes that really just aren't that fun to play. Conditions were not as good as International, either. 2/6/2009 - Great course, fabulous people, class all the way. Perfect golf experience from the front door reception to exit. Highly recommended. Posted by John (Perth, Canada) 2/5/2009 - Great course, easy to access off I-4. First class service and facilities. Posted by Rick (Bloomington, IL) 1/29/2009 - Nice course, lots of sand, wide open (links style), very flat. Posted by John. 1/23/2009 - Mature course, loved it. Posted by Michael (Barrington, RI). 1/22/2009 - Very upscale. Course was on the short sizes. Accommodates mid to high handicappers. Would love to play the International. Posted by Tom (St. Clair Shores, MI). 1/15/2009 - Great links layout, great condition, my favorite on this trip. A must play! Posted by Herb (Beverly Hills, MI). 1/2/2009 - National, a very nice course in good condition as is the International. Posted by Margaret (Beds Shefford, United Kingdom). 12/19/2008 - Great facility, we had a great time!! Posted by Ian (Mississauaga, Canada). 12/8/2008 - Excellent. Posted by Garry (Kirkland, Canada). 12/4/2008 - Just a perfect course, everything was above expectation. Relatively generous from the tee. Posted by Eric. 11/28/2008 - Fantastic. Posted by Dale (Marion, OH). 11/28/2008 - Played the National. Course was in excellent shape and was a pleasure to play with many different challenges on various holes. Highly recommended. Posted by Steve (Hamilton, Canada). 11/20/2008 - Talk about PGA Style courses. Wow - what a facility this place is. From the second you arrive at the bag drop and a valet takes your vehicle you know you are in for an incredible experience. Check in was fast and efficient. We chose to play The National which was unbelievable. It was a cart path only day due to the time of year for what they call overseeding, but the course was green and lush. I truly believe it didn't have to be cart path but it didn't matter, you would not want to not play this course. Again this is a true PGA experience. Then at 12:40 we scored huge again and got to go out and play The International which was being used in a few weeks after we left for the PGA Father Son tournament. This course was a different experience altogether from the National. Thank God we played both, amazing. You really need to play both courses if you are playing this facility. Greg Norman has designed two great courses. When we finished at the 18th of The International the stands were already going up for the Father Son PGA, December 4-8. It made us feel real good about our choices. A+++++++++++. Posted by Martin (Bolton, Canada). 11/13/2008 - Great golf course. Fairway and green just perfect. A real challenge. Posted by Richard (Laval, Canada). 10/23/2008 - Everything was great. Posted by Bradley (Millersburg, PA). 9/4/2008 - Very, very good course. Entire golfing experience again was excellent. One poor point was that the greens were poor due to recent spiking, but that didn't ruin the experience. Posted by Mark (Katy, TX). 8/22/2008 - The course was in excellent condition. The staff was professional and helpful. The fairways were nice and wide. Posted by Robert (Speonk, NY). 5/19/2008 - A must play. Everything was A-1! Posted by David (Philadelphia, PA). 5/1/2008 - We started to replay the International because we had like it so much the day before but play was unbelievably slow - so one of the rangers moved us over to the National , which we also liked. Great management move. Instead of being mad, we were ecstatic. Posted by Diana (Washington, PA). 4/18/2008 - Nice layout and very long. Overall good conditions but many of the greens burnt and or damaged. First couple of holes have poor greens but they get better. Some gimicky holes. Not as good as the International course. Posted by Steven (Jonesborough, TN). 4/3/2008 - Check in at the clubhouse went extremely well. We received two $10 certificates for lunch. The course was fine except the greens. They had just been sanded and rolled and you could not stop the ball. Posted by Donald (Herimatage, TN). 3/27/2008 - Well manicured, challenging, but fair course. Very enjoyable round. Posted by Donald (Huntsville, AL). 3/20/2008 - Excellent course, very nice, pro shop, staff very friendly, nice restaurant. I would rate overall experience 10 out 10. (1 = poor & 10 = excellent). Posted by Y.R. (Piqua, OH). 3/13/2008 - Very good course with some great holes. Classic out and back layout and well away from housing. First class service from arrival to departure. Nice clubhouse with good bar food. Would definitely return and play this or the International course. Posted by Ken. 3/12/2008 - Liked the course very much and found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Posted by Nancy (Perryville, MD). 3/9/2008 - Nice course, staff very accommodating and helpful. Posted by Kevin. 2/1/2008 - Excellent! Posted by Sharon (London, ON CANADA). 1/25/2008 - Excellent course. We try to play here every time we are in the area. Posted by Jerry (Wallkill, NY). 1/11/2008 - A great layout. Very fun to play both from the tips and from the blue tees. Challenging, but not too hard to score if you keep it in the fairway. No heavy woods to have to shoot out from. Lots of water to avoid. Staff at the clubhouse was extremely helpful. Would love to play here again. Posted by Doug (Johnson City, TN). 1/7/2008 - Great course, I enjoyed the challenge. Posted by Al (Satellite Beach, FL). 11/16/07 - I played both courses and they were in great condition. Posted by Corey (Linden, NJ). 10/3/07 - Greens were very slow. We had an early start so lots of dew. Greens needed whipping. Great layout. Fantastic facility. Posted by Warren (Norfolk, United Kingdom). 2/22/2010 - Good course. Posted by Ron (Moon Stone, Canada) 2/19/2010 - Too many shots that you do not know the distance or where to aim.

| TeeTimes USA Description of ChampionsGate National | |
| 7128-75.1-133 6427-72.0-126 5937-70.9-124 5150-65.2-111 Truly, one of America's Most Distinctive Golf Challenges, ChampionsGate is your must-play golf experience for this year's trip. Greg Norman has designed two signature golf courses just 15 minutes from International Drive. The result is a rare find: Two excellent and very different golf courses on a single site. The National course is a classic American-style layout that rolls through 200 acres of southern woodlands and wetlands. Shotmaking challenges are defined by unique bunkering, tree-lined fairways and intriguing green designs. 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. **** August 01, 2009 - January 16, 2011: Rate includes a $10 gift certificate for golf shop merchandise or clubhouse food & beverage on first daily round. **** |

5/29/2009 - What can I say about Champions Gate? Well, when you have one of the best teachers in golf teaching there, no words can explain the staff and courses they have. Just Amazing. Posted by Alfredo (Miami Lakes, FL)
5/7/2009 - A bit disappointed with the condition of the greens. The layout was a bit confusing, hard to find one hole to the next. Posted by Bill
4/9/2009 - Course was in average condition, little or no rough and fairways very firm. Posted by Justin (Decatur, GA)
4/9/2009 - Good course, greens a little patchy. Posted by Robert (Presto, PA)
4/2/2009 - The area is very nice and the course looks great from the road. However the course was worn. Tee boxes were ok but some greens did not have grass in spots.
3/26/2009 - Excellent course; Nice range and club house. Posted by Yagnesh (Piqua, OH)
3/21/2009 - Excellent, excellent, excellent. Posted by Harry (Ft. Jefferson Station, NY)

3/12/2009 - Great course. Disappointed no one turned in the sand wedge I left at one hole. Posted by Barry (Kinnelon, NJ)

2/23/2009 - Not as good as the International. Would not play again. Posted by Carl (Arnold, MD)
2/23/2009 - We teed off at 1:50, but they were running approx 10 minutes late. The group in front of us was very slow, and we knew we had to hustle to finish 18 in daylight. We never saw a marshall, called into the pro-shop and still no one came out to move them along. There were 1 1/2 - 2 holes open in front of them. We were only able to play 15 holes that day, and were waiting on almost every shot. Posted by Stewart (Virginia Bch, VA)
2/14/2009 - Not as good as the International course. Weird mix of yardages on holes, and a couple of holes that really just aren't that fun to play. Conditions were not as good as International, either.
2/6/2009 - Great course, fabulous people, class all the way. Perfect golf experience from the front door reception to exit. Highly recommended. Posted by John (Perth, Canada)
2/5/2009 - Great course, easy to access off I-4. First class service and facilities. Posted by Rick (Bloomington, IL)
1/29/2009 - Nice course, lots of sand, wide open (links style), very flat. Posted by John.
1/23/2009 - Mature course, loved it. Posted by Michael (Barrington, RI).
1/22/2009 - Very upscale. Course was on the short sizes. Accommodates mid to high handicappers. Would love to play the International. Posted by Tom (St. Clair Shores, MI).
1/15/2009 - Great links layout, great condition, my favorite on this trip. A must play! Posted by Herb (Beverly Hills, MI).
1/2/2009 - National, a very nice course in good condition as is the International. Posted by Margaret (Beds Shefford, United Kingdom).
12/19/2008 - Great facility, we had a great time!! Posted by Ian (Mississauaga, Canada).
12/8/2008 - Excellent. Posted by Garry (Kirkland, Canada).
12/4/2008 - Just a perfect course, everything was above expectation. Relatively generous from the tee. Posted by Eric.
11/28/2008 - Fantastic. Posted by Dale (Marion, OH).
11/28/2008 - Played the National. Course was in excellent shape and was a pleasure to play with many different challenges on various holes. Highly recommended. Posted by Steve (Hamilton, Canada).
11/20/2008 - Talk about PGA Style courses. Wow - what a facility this place is. From the second you arrive at the bag drop and a valet takes your vehicle you know you are in for an incredible experience. Check in was fast and efficient. We chose to play The National which was unbelievable. It was a cart path only day due to the time of year for what they call overseeding, but the course was green and lush. I truly believe it didn't have to be cart path but it didn't matter, you would not want to not play this course. Again this is a true PGA experience. Then at 12:40 we scored huge again and got to go out and play The International which was being used in a few weeks after we left for the PGA Father Son tournament. This course was a different experience altogether from the National. Thank God we played both, amazing. You really need to play both courses if you are playing this facility. Greg Norman has designed two great courses. When we finished at the 18th of The International the stands were already going up for the Father Son PGA, December 4-8. It made us feel real good about our choices. A+++++++++++. Posted by Martin (Bolton, Canada).
11/13/2008 - Great golf course. Fairway and green just perfect. A real challenge. Posted by Richard (Laval, Canada).
10/23/2008 - Everything was great. Posted by Bradley (Millersburg, PA).
9/4/2008 - Very, very good course. Entire golfing experience again was excellent. One poor point was that the greens were poor due to recent spiking, but that didn't ruin the experience. Posted by Mark (Katy, TX).
8/22/2008 - The course was in excellent condition. The staff was professional and helpful. The fairways were nice and wide. Posted by Robert (Speonk, NY).
5/19/2008 - A must play. Everything was A-1! Posted by David (Philadelphia, PA).
5/1/2008 - We started to replay the International because we had like it so much the day before but play was unbelievably slow - so one of the rangers moved us over to the National , which we also liked. Great management move. Instead of being mad, we were ecstatic. Posted by Diana (Washington, PA).
4/18/2008 - Nice layout and very long. Overall good conditions but many of the greens burnt and or damaged. First couple of holes have poor greens but they get better. Some gimicky holes. Not as good as the International course. Posted by Steven (Jonesborough, TN).
4/3/2008 - Check in at the clubhouse went extremely well. We received two $10 certificates for lunch. The course was fine except the greens. They had just been sanded and rolled and you could not stop the ball. Posted by Donald (Herimatage, TN).
3/27/2008 - Well manicured, challenging, but fair course. Very enjoyable round. Posted by Donald (Huntsville, AL).
3/20/2008 - Excellent course, very nice, pro shop, staff very friendly, nice restaurant. I would rate overall experience 10 out 10. (1 = poor & 10 = excellent). Posted by Y.R. (Piqua, OH).
3/13/2008 - Very good course with some great holes. Classic out and back layout and well away from housing. First class service from arrival to departure. Nice clubhouse with good bar food. Would definitely return and play this or the International course. Posted by Ken.
3/12/2008 - Liked the course very much and found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Posted by Nancy (Perryville, MD).
3/9/2008 - Nice course, staff very accommodating and helpful.

1/25/2008 - Excellent course. We try to play here every time we are in the area. Posted by Jerry (Wallkill, NY).
1/11/2008 - A great layout. Very fun to play both from the tips and from the blue tees. Challenging, but not too hard to score if you keep it in the fairway. No heavy woods to have to shoot out from. Lots of water to avoid. Staff at the clubhouse was extremely helpful. Would love to play here again. Posted by Doug (Johnson City, TN).
1/7/2008 - Great course, I enjoyed the challenge. Posted by Al (Satellite Beach, FL).
11/16/07 - I played both courses and they were in great condition. Posted by Corey (Linden, NJ).
10/3/07 - Greens were very slow. We had an early start so lots of dew. Greens needed whipping. Great layout. Fantastic facility. Posted by Warren (Norfolk, United Kingdom).
