"One of two Greg Norman-designed courses at the same Orlando resort — the National is the more traditional 'American' style, the International is the links-style twin."

The National is the other half of Greg Norman's 2000 design pair at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, built as the deliberately more traditional, tree-lined American parkland counterpart to the International's links pretensions, routed through 200 acres of Florida woodland, wetland, and former orange groves. Its best-known feature is a shared double green connecting holes 4 and 16, an unusual routing touch that gives the back-nine finish a sense of returning to where the round started. At roughly 7,197 yards, par 72, with a 74.1 rating and 128 slope, it's demanding but noticeably gentler than its International sibling, and a 2017 renovation replaced the greens with Champion Bermuda turf and touched up the bunkering. Reviews consistently single out the par-3s as the course's sharpest shot-making test, set against tighter, more conventional tree-lined corridors than the open, wind-blown International.

Golfers who want a traditional, tree-lined American parkland test without the wind and length of its International sibling.

The shared double green linking holes 4 and 16 is the course's signature quirk, and the par-3 stretch is widely cited as its toughest shot-making test.

It's gentler than the International next door but still a full championship test, so a new golfer should take the forward tees and respect the demanding par-3s.

Tree-lined corridors and target greens play well indoors, testing accuracy off the tee more than distance, with the double green mostly invisible unless modeled precisely.
