ChampionsGate Golf Club - National Course

Greg Norman's 2000 National Course at ChampionsGate is the parkland companion to the links-inspired International Course, 18 contiguous holes routed through 200 acres of secluded central Florida woodlands, wetlands, and former orange groves that give the course a distinctly American visual character compared to its British-Isles-inspired sister. 7,128 yards par-72. The routing rewards players with lush Paspalum fairways and dense tree-lined corridors that define each landing zone, a different defensive posture from the International's wind-and-bunker attack. Tight driving windows, water on several of the back-nine holes, and Greg Norman's characteristic elevated approach-shot green complexes. Peak green fee runs $95-175 for resort guests. Pair with International for a 36-hole ChampionsGate day that showcases both sides of Norman's design vocabulary, links minimalism in the morning, parkland strategy in the afternoon.
