A lot to be desired

It's the story of 2 nines in terms of layout. The front nine is a boring trip through the development with not much to see except how close the houses are to each other. The holes on the back nine are much, much nicer. There was such a difference that it almost felt like 2 different architects designed the course. There are no trees on the entire course and for a Florida course it's amazing that there are so few holes where water comes into play. The pace of play was incredibly slow (midweek). In fact, on one par 3 (the 5th hole), there were 4 foursomes on the hole at the same time, and not a ranger in sight the entire day.. It was a 5 hour round which is inexcusable. It feels like half of the time on the course is spent driving from one hole to the next. That must be why there are so many ads on the GPS -- after each hole you have to hit the GPS screen to get rid of the ad. Between the lengthy drives through each neighborhood, the GPS ads, the slow play, and the lack of originality of the course design, it felt more like a municipal course than a country club. There are a lot of better choices for your money in the Orlando area, and especially within Champions Gate itself.

Pretty sure you are reviewing the wrong course. There is no GPS on the carts a Champions Gate CC. Also hole 5 is a par 4.

If your cart had a gps screen on it you did NOT play Championsgate CC. There is no gps on the carts. You most likely played Championsgate Golf Club, affiliated with the Omni Resort.

A Good Challenge

Played on a very windy day (sustained 20 mph winds with gusts much higher) which greatly increased the challenge of this course. The pace of play, friendliness of the staff, and course conditions were all very good.

A Great Course

This course remains one of my favorites in Orlando. It is challenging but playable to golfers of all skill levels. The course was in good condition except the greens were a little bumpy, but still rolled true. The staff were all wonderful and always smiling. The 18th hole has been reconfigured into a par 3 with an island green. It is a very beautiful hole and a nice way to end the round (especially if you birdie it!). The only shortcoming of the revision is that it makes the back nine only a par 34. Play it: you won't regret it.

One of My Favorites in Orlando Area

Orange County National has so much to offer on it's 2 regulation courses. I prefer Panther Lake but there were no available tee times. Crooked Cat is much more open but still very challenging. The holes were very well designed to make each unique despite the wide open format. The staff are all very professional and friendly. The pace of play was excellent (just under 3 3/4 hours). If you want a consistently very good experience, you can always rely on OCN.

Great course; staff needs improvement

This course has always been a great layout that's kept in great shape and everyone you met was personable and professional. The course is still great but everyone we met was grumpy and curt. The starter gave us instructions in a monotone. We were told in the pro shop to be at the tee 9 minutes before our tee time, yet by the 3rd hole it was backed up and by the 5th hole there were 4 groups on the same hole. A call to the pro shop to get a ranger to check on thing but he never stopped to talk to any of the groups to tell us what the holdup was (it was the cart girl who ultimately filled us in). Our tee time included lunch but the restaurant was closed. They never told us that when we paid, and they weren't going to do anything about it except apologize until we persisted in requesting our money back for the lunch ticket.

One of our favorite courses in Orlando. Pace of play is usually very good which is unusual for a resort location. The entire staff was super friendly and casual but professional. Course was in very good condition.

Difficult course for the first time

Difficult course for first time players. GPS on the carts would definitely help make the challenging course more enjoyable.. Even when playing it a second time it was difficult to score well without knowing exactly where shots needed to be.

Slow Play

The course was somewhat backed up when we tee'd off on a Wednesday morning. The group ahead of us slowed down the pace even more. A ranger did speak with them about speeding up play but that wasn't until the 12th hole. By then the damage was done and it was a 5 hour round.

Great course for the money

Played this course 3 times in 3 days and each time had a wonderful time. Staff was very friendly and pace of play was excellent. Course, and especially the greens were in great shape considering how much rain there was recently. Fairways and greens were in much better shape than Doral.

Overpriced and they are very full of themselves

The course is in average shape but way overpriced at $115 off season. I'm not sure if they are so full of themselves because of the current owner or if they've always been like that. And beware that they charge $20 for mandatory valet fee without any notice until they go to pick up your car. The course was empty when I played (as was the Tee sheet for the next 3 days) I assume because of the high fee. For the day I played, there were only 5 tee times taken ALL DAY. Jacaranda was in better shape, with truer greens and better fairways.
