Babcock National

Enjoyable round with some fun new golfers. Good pace of play

Babcock National is a plush course , challenging, and the maintenance crew does an excellent job. The greens are fairly fast in comparison to the competition in this area. Staff was very professional and connected.

Great day!

Babcock National is a beautiful course that is in great shape! Staff is very courteous and professional! Greens and fairways are perfect! Definately coming back to play this one!

Enjoyed the course and good value in the off season.

Course was very well manicured and somewhat challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Course was in good shape, fun course to play with wide fairways. Only con was you had to stay on the cart path as the course was wet. Not their fault.

Course is always in amazing condition, event when wet you can find your way around in a timely fashion and score well on the receptive grens, great course and we love it!!

Started out the day with wet sandy greens. Dried up nicely throughout the day and turned into a good day. Could have been a great day aside from the overzealous ranger who followed us on the back nine. He kept asking us to pick up the pace, which was 8 minutes behind according to the in cart GPS. We asked him if the group behind us had complained (they never had to wait for a shot) and he said no one had complained it was just him wanting us to speed up. After the third time he asked, again only 8 minutes behind pace, it was hard to get our minds back to golf. The course was nice, but I doubt I’d go back. Golf is hard enough without being hassled.

Wide fairways, good layout, friendly staff.

All in all, fun day!

In town from Central Florida for the holiday weeks. Not knowing the area, I chose this course based on the recent ratings and made the drive from Captiva Island…about an hour 20 mins. But WELL WORTH THE DRIVE!!

Talk about no preround stress for a first time visitor! From the arrival to the departure, the experience and staff were top notch! I didn’t get that “I’m better than you” attitude you get in the Orlando market.

Enough about that… You’ll njoyed the complimentary range balls for the pre and post round. Plenty of space to dial in irons/woods. The short game and putting areas are right near the first tee and starter. The only complaint (if there has to be one) is that the range balls are water balls that is a little beat up. But, they’re warm up balls. You can drop your own balls on the chipping areas. So not much of a complaint here.

Otherwise, the course plays very nicely. I enjoyed the layout here. Even a couple of risk reward type holes keep you on your toes. Fairways are generous although there are a few holes you need to be mindful of your landing areas with driver or mini driver (3 wood). Greens are on the large side. However if you’re a ways from the flag, you still must read the undulation. The speed was consistent. Pitch marks seemed non existent. Kudos to the locals taking care of your playground! Courses in certain parts of Orlando are horrible fixing ball divots! Yet they expect nice greens…

Unfortunately, I did not visit the restaurant. Needed to get back to the family. I played on a Saturday morning and the cart gerl was out several times.

Nice job, Babcock National! You’ve got a really good thing there. I hope to see ya sooner than later to beat the 68 I threw up!
