Fast-growing community opens new golf course

Babcock Ranch, billed as America’s first solar-powered town, has something new to get residents charged up: a golf course.

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 ceremony in late February.  “We’re thrilled to officially announce the opening of the golf course at Babcock National,” says Lennar Director of Operations for Southwest Florida David Meyers in a statement.
