ChampionsGate Golf Club-National at Omni Orlando Resort is one of two Greg Norman designs at an impressive golf facility located just 10 minutes from Disney World. Though it often plays second fiddle to its more links-style sister course, ChampionsGate Golf Club-National at Omni Orlando Resort earns raves from players who revel in the layout s target-style challenge and its more typical Florida parkland/resort-style character. You ll be struck by the lush look of the groomed turf framed by mature pine, oak and cypress groves. Those trees present narrow and sometimes intimidating targets with some gentle roll and undulation. Spring-fed lakes also loom as hazards, ramping up the target nature of the game at ChampionsGate Golf Club-National at Omni Orlando Resort. While you ll want to steer clear of the fairway and greenside bunkers, they aren t especially deep and you should be able to recover nicely with a properly executed shot (in contrast to the pot bunkers on the adjacent sister course). Norman varied the distances of the holes nicely on ChampionsGate Golf Club-National at Omni Orlando Resort. A couple of short par 4s (the 5th and the 16th) may be drivable but they are all about how much risk and reward you re willing to take on. Meanwhile, the 17th is a monster par 5 and the long, dogleg par 4 finishing hole wraps around a lake. ChampionsGate Golf Club-National at Omni Orlando Resort features rather small putting surfaces that are tricky to read. The golf club boasts superb facilities that include a well-stocked pro shop, a restaurant, and a world-class practice area. A day spent at ChampionsGate Golf Club-National at Omni Orlando Resort is sure to be a treat as you put your game to the test on this immaculate, Florida resort-style golf course.
