Just Okay

My Wife and I plus our Son and Grandson played. The course was okay. We actually expected more especially since it is a Membership Country Club Course and has been around 50+ years. We have played many fine courses in Venice that are nicer.

Slick Greens

My wife and I ❤️ Babcock National. This time was not so good. Lots of slow players. Players behind hit down on us a couple of times. But the worse were the greens. They were like concrete ... Very hard and lightning fast. Definitely NO FUN 3 putting most greens. We finally gave up and quit after 14 holes .. We had had enough. This WAS our FAVORITE course since the day it opened. I don't think we will be back since the super fast greens took the fun out of the day.

Lightning Fast Greens - Very Slow Play

My wife and I have been playing Babcock National since it opened a few years ago. Today 5/10/22 the pace of play was extremely Slow. It took 2 1/2 hours to pay the Front 9 holes. Maybe the reason was the Greens that were lightning fast ... Like putting on concrete. Just touch the ball and it would go 20' ... NOT ACCEPTABLE.. We are not professional golfers. We probably won't be back it's no fun 3 putting most holes.

Poor Value

I booked our rounds on Golf Now on one of their Deals. When we arrived at the course we were told that a Golf Cart was not included in the price that we paid and that it would cost us an additional $36.00 for a Golf Cart ... Can you say Rip Off.

Awesome Course ... But

This was the First time playing the course. The course is AWESOME. The fairways were manicured to perfection and very wide. The Tee Boxes were great and well placed. The greens were perfect ... very little undulations and pretty flat, easy to read. The entire course was maintained to perfection and there were no tricky holes ... Except for #3 a par 3 with a semi hidden green. The ONLY PROBLEM was that the GPS in the carts WERE NOT WORKING and they have NOT had the course mapped for other GPS products ... So you had no way of knowing the distance to the pin. They don't even have any Yardage Markers in the Fairways or markings on Sprinkler Heads. So you never knew the Distance to the Green
Other than that when they get those problems fixed we will be back

Score Card

It would certainly be helpful if the Score Card was posted on line so that you could get an idea about how the Holes are laid out and also the yardage. Is that to much to ask ?

do you not know that with a brand new course there will be growing pains? The course is a true test of golf and will only get better when matured. I am a 10 handicap and thought this was a very good test. I used most of the clubs in my bag and that's saying something for most courses.

Course Needs Work

We used to play here all the time. Havn't played in 2 years because they tried going private. I really expected the course to be in great condition and the price paid indicated that it would be. Well we were really surprised to see that the course had really gone DOWNHILL. There are a lot of weeds in the fairways and a lot of bare spots around the greens. Really not up to par. Will not ptay again unless there is a substantial reduction in the price. VERY DISAPPOINTED ....

Outstanding Course

One of the best courses that your going to find in SW Florida. The overall condition is outstanding, the tee boxes.. fairways .. and greens are immaculate. Not necessarily the easiest course with its rolling fairways and undalating greens but it's all about putting yourself in position. Very little water hazards. This is a must play course.

Everything a Golf Course should be. Well maintained tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Challenging but not difficult. Wide fairways. Huge sand traps. Not a weed or bare spot on the course. Our favorite course.

Outstanding Course

This course is absolutely one of the finest courses in Southwest Florida. The tee boxes and fairways are very lush. There are absolutely no weeds or bare spots anywhere on the course.. My hats off to the grounds crew for an outstanding job in keeping this course so prestine. The fairways do have some roll to them. The greens are fast 11.5 on the stimp meter and undulating but fair, spending time practice putting helps getting used to the speed. Large driving range with plenty of practice balls to warm up. This is definitely a must play course. Looking forward to going back.

Great Course .. Good Shape. Greens were awesome and puttable. Some courses we play the greens are so slick and fast and hard as concrete, nice to have greens that will hold a ball and not lightning fast.

Great Must Play Course

First time playing the course. The course and tee box are in great shape. The greens were really nice not scalped like some courses. The sand traps could use a little more sand they were kind of firm. I will definitely be back. The front nine was shorter than the back nine so I scored better on the front .. Actually by 5 strokes.
