Babcock National opens in SW Florida

Designed by Gordon Lewis, the new course complements a Fort Myers-area development.


Babcock National Golf & Country Club, a new Lennar lifestyle community within Babcock Ranch, celebrated the opening of its 18-hole Gordon Lewis-designed course with a ribbon cutting ceremony and VIP golf tournament.

Located on Lake Babcock north of Founder’s Square, the par-72 semi-private course will complement Babcock National’s amenities center, tennis center and pro shop, and various other athletics options.

“Thousands of our Discovery Center visitors have asked us when golf would be coming to Babcock Ranch,” said Syd Kitson, Chairman and CEO of Kitson & Partners, developer of Babcock Ranch. “I’m proud of what Lennar has done with Babcock National, and it’s incredible to see the golf course come to life as part of our overall vision of celebrating the outdoors and the environment.”

Babcock National will feature 18 of Lennar’s most popular home designs offering 1,120 to 3,473 square feet of living space, including a mix of multi-family and single-family homes.
