Wellington National Golf Course is ranked by Golf Digest as one of the nation's “Top 75 Private Golf Courses”, this 18-hole golf course is situated at the heart of Wellington, Florida, the “Winter Equestrian Capital of the World”.
Formerly known as the Binks Forest Golf Club, this par 72 golf course was designed by the legendary Johnny Miller, a Golf Hall of Fame member. Opened for play in 1990, it underwent a complete renovation in 2007 with golf architect Gene Bates at the helm. The refurbishment included re-sodding, weed suppression, laser leveling tee boxes, and filling the sand traps with new sand.
The Wellington National Golf Course is filled with pine and oak trees resembling a North Carolina course rather than a Florida course. The mature tall trees line the fairways which can be intimidating as they make certain areas tight and narrow. The fairways and the greens are topped with Tifeagle grass which makes the ball roll fast. And the bunkers are well-placed which adds complexity to the game. The layout considers the natural elevation and water features of the terrain creating a challenging but fun to play course.
The course accommodates different skill levels with yardages ranging from 5,268 to 7,253. It has a course rating of 74.7 and a slope rating of 136.
The club offers a golf school academy with a driving range that has been tripled in size, a short game area, and a putting green. A full-service pro shop is open year-round.
