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.

Course in terrible condition, greens are ok, fairways are mostly dirt, tees mostly dirt.

Shame to see this course in such bad condition, I probably won't be back for at least a year.

Only thing good are the greens.

The greens are beautiful but the fairways have weeds and sand pits. Maybe with some rain the grass will grown in the fairways

Needs Help

The only reason I gave this track an average rating is because of the Greens. They are a bit slow but surprisingly in Good shape, as compared to the rest of the course, a Goat Pasteur and Needs Alot of Help.

Cow Pasture

Greens were pretty good. Other than that, course was in bad share

We had a 12:52 tee time. Had a group of 30 they put in front of us. Teed off 1:30 behind a fivesome.

Good for the price

17 of 18 Greens were excellent doing repairs on one. Fairways are dry, sparse and hard.

Newer owners, bad course results

I have played this course many years, never seen this course so bad. Greens nice a little slow, sand traps nice. Tee boxes, fairways couldn’t find much grass. New ownership seemed about 2 years did plant some seeds, starting looking better. Now just bad.

Beautiful Layout, course in disrepair

This Donald Ross course has a phenomenal layout but the condition of this course has deteriorated extremely. We have been playing here for the last three years. It’s getting worse every time we play. This course is worth saving.

Save your money

Greens were decent, fairways were mostly dry grass, weeds and dirt. No cart girl. Staff in the clubhouse were very friendly. Lady in the bar needs to be replaced. She didn’t even acknowledge the 3 of us. We were gonna eat there after our round but after seeing how she talked to other patrons poorly and lack of attention towards us, we decided to eat in town. I’d recommended reaching for another $20 in your pocket and playing somewhere else. Definitely not worth anything over $25.
