Lake Wales Country Club
About
Lake Wales Country Club boasts a classic Donald Ross design that players of all skill level will enjoy. Built in the 1920s, the golf course has a different look and feel than most modern courses. Rather than exaggerated hazards and dramatic contouring, the layout blends seamlessly into the natural landscape. The routing of each hole was determined by the existing contours. Like many of Ross' designs, the phrase "hard par, easy bogey" holds true here. The layout features small greens with crown centers that are sloped back to front. Rough borders the fairways and the wide-openness of the course means that wind will often be a factor. Lake Wales C.C. is a challenging but straightforward golf course. There are no trick holes but there are several holes that will make you think.

Rain trees AWSOME! Photo submitted by recon68 on 10/05/2014
Golf course
Started at 7 , first 2 holes had to dodge sprinklers , then 4 thru 9 same thing . After that wasn’t bad , got done in about 3 1/2 hrs. The sand traps were a little better than a year ago and the greens were ok . Fairways kind of hard pan .!
Poor conditions
Tee boxes and fairways are just a bunch of weeds or dirt. The greens are ok. Half the sand traps were ok and the other half had plants growing out of them. They had the sprinklers running most of the time I was there and it was just creating standing water where it was spraying. I stopped at the bathroom by hole 9s tee box and it looked like nobody had cleaned it in years and smelled like mold. The price was cheaper but still not worth the money I paid. Glad I only played 9 holes.
Golf
Greens are perfect, fairways were a little beat up. Had fun.
Course Has Improved
The work being done to improve this golf course is noticeable and very good. It has a great layout. It just needed some TLC and appears to be getting it. The greens are a lot better than before. The fairways and tee boxes are improving.
Stay far away….
This in all honesty is the worst course I’ve seen in my life. There are no tee boxes or fairways. There are only weeds cut down to make some sort of fairways. There is even more dirt than weeds. I keep constantly picking up my ball and placing it on top of a weed mound to resemble hitting off a fairway. The greens which were the BEST part of the course I would rate a 3 out of 5. I’ve never left this bad of a review on any course but believe me, I’m not lying. If you can, play elsewhere.
Worth a drive!
Greens were in great shape but the fairways were a little dry and patchy.
First time playing here
This was our first time playing here, for the price we paid I thought it was excellent value.
Some of the fairways were not great (we just took preferred lies) and some of the greens were very good.
Considering Florida had just had a very cold spell
I thought it was very good.
I liked the layout and thoroughly enjoyed my round.
Course is Coming Back -Greens are in great Shape
I played this course previously and it was not in good shape. It is a vast difference -The bunkers still need some work but the rest of the course is 180 degrees better than the last time I played it. Well worth the funds. Continue to improve.
Best shape
This is the best shape the course has been in In years. Greens are in very good condition and there is grass on the fairways now.
Fine Time
Haven’t been down for a couple of years but still enjoyed the experience. Paired up with two locals and a real character. Good players to sbare a round with.
Very slow
They allowed a group of 4 to get in between tee times. They started basically on our assigned tee time, and they were slow as well. We had to wait at least 5 minutes for every shot. paid for 18, but stopped at 9. Rate was cheap, but there are better things to do than waiting for your next shot
