Magnolia Landing 3.11

Another good day at Magnolia Landing, Course was in good shape, greens were fast and were holding shots. Good value for the money.

Raptor Bay 3.1.20

Have played this course every year and I was disappointed in the course conditions. With the price of greens fees, my expectations are much higher than I experienced today. Minimal grass on the tees, fairways were hard and dry and the greens would not hold a shot.

Babcock National 2.25

Course opened mid-February. Clubhouse is a trailer. No amenities other than water, no beverage cart. Teed off at 10:00, 4.5 hour round with no ranger in sight. Course in good shape for a new course, just very firm. Difficult to put tee in the ground and extremely hard fairways and greens. Will be a very nice course in the future, they just have many things to get in place as they open a new course. Have patience has it's still a new course that just opened.

Course in good shape for a new course. Nice layout. Big undulating greens. Greens very hard. Proshop in a temporary trailer, clubhouse still under construction. Good value at low prices.

Short course but challenging, lots of water. Only hit driver 4 times, lots of lay ups off tees. Greens were in great shape as was the rest of the course. Teed off at 9:00 as a foursome and played in 4 hours, good pace of play. A little expensive but it is Sanibel.

Teed off at 9:38, played in 3:50 minutes, All of the staff (on and off the course) were very pleasant and engaging. I have played this course each of the past 3 years and seen improvements each year, While a few areas still need some work, they are doing a very nice job.

Overpriced considering other similar courses in the area. Teed off at 10::00 on a Monday. Waited on every shot. Ranger did nothing to get play moving. Course was dry and firm and there has been a fair amount of rain in the past week.

Tee time was 10:00 on a Wednesday, Took 4 hours and 20 minutes to play. Course was full, had to wait on many shots. Course is dry due to lack of rain. Have seen the course in better condition. Greens are getting beat up with "ball marks".

The entire staff was very friendly. Considering its January in FL, I thought the course was in very good condition. Course is challenging so play the appropriate tees to enjoy your round.

Have played this course 3 years in a row while visiting SW Florida. Always an excellent experience. Excellent, friendly staff, excellent course conditions (greens were at 10.5), played in 4 hours. Would recommend for all levels of golfers.

Hi Mark, we're sorry to hear pace of play didn't meet your expectations. We certainly like to maintain a brisk pace of play, but please keep in mind that the course plays nearly 7,300 yards at a 140+ slope rating from the tips. Regardless, we're glad to hear you enjoyed your round and hope to see you back at Magnolia Landing soon!

Have played this course many times. The course is always in great shape. It is very important to pick the right set of tees to match your game. Ask the starter for suggestions. Fun and challenging course to play. Will be back again soon.

Always a fun course to play. Unfortunately today we teed off at 10:37 as a foursome and it took 4 hours and 25 minutes. A very slow round. Course is getting dry and needs some water, Greens were fast, hard and undulating. Have seen the course in better shape a few weeks ago.

Course conditions have improved since 2018. Still have a ways to go but they are making nice progress. Excellent pace of play, under 4 hours.

Teed off at 9:30 as a foursome, played in 3 hours and 45 minutes (great pace of play). Did not see a beverage / food cart all day. Staff was very friendly. Had lunch in clubhouse after round, very good and reasonably priced. Greens fees are a little high compared to other courses with similar amenities and course conditions. Feels more like playing a "Midwest course" than a Florida course.
