Babcock National

Nicely out no trouble anywhere pretty wide-open greens very fast great value for the money

the game is to be played on grass..fairways so short you can not get the club under the ball....chunk everything....no course care

Played this fairly new course a few months ago on a very windy day and decided to give it a redo. The first time I played the winds were so strong that the balls would move off the green if a gust hit when the ball was on a slope. So, I decided to tee it up again.

First, the course is still fairly new in a major residential development so there is lots of construction going on. As you might expect, that creates lots of noise, and the backdrop of many holes are marred by this (hopefully) temporary condition.

With that said, there is a lot of interesting holes with a good mix of easy, not so easy and tough holes. The condition of the course was wonderful for a new course in a housing community. The housing around the course is plentiful and will be growing, but the existing houses did not create a plethora of bowling alley holes with OB pinched-in on both sides of the fairway. There is some water on the course, but the penalty areas are fairly well marked. And the GPS on the carts help too.

The folks in the pro shop were very nice, but at least at this time, there was nowhere nice to sit and have a cocktail after we finished. There was a cart girl during the round for those that like to imbibe while playing. It was cash only.

All in all, this course has lots of promise and if they keep doing what they are doing now, once the construction is completed, it will be a very nice course if they keep it open to the publec.

Enough bunkering and water to keep your attention, yet fun to play. Greens were rolling at a nice pace. Very fiendly staff. BUT, don't close the clubhouse before everyone has finished their round! Disappointing and hurt my overall impression of the round!!

We had a 2:12 tee time and did not get on the first tee until 2:30 because we were waiting for another two players to join our twosome. They never showed so the starter told us to go ahead. Even with the late start we had enough daylight to finish.

Babcock Ranch is a great course in northern Fort Myers area. Well manicured and awesome greens. Charging tea boxes for all types of players. Make sure you are a golfer who is ready to play at a steady pace. I will definitely play it every time I come here to visit

Great value course. Fairways were in good shape, greens rolled good. Layout was nice, Will definitely be back!

Perfect to play, no complaints, similar to Heritage.

Will come back

Great layout. I love the multi tear greens (which are sorely lacking in most Florida golf courses), also nice to see the gps on the golf carts (another things extremely lacking at Florida golf courses). Being a new course it’s nice to have it stand out from the standard, out dates, generic Florida courses.

Restaurant/food would be nice.

Price is great

If you are looking for a public option in the Ft. Myers area, it is worth taking a drive out to Babcock National. Fun layout, great conditions. Will only get better with time.
