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
Great layout
Fairly long course, hardly any water. Greenside traps are biggest hazard. Nicely undulating hole’s considering that this is Florida. Enjoyed playing here.
A couple of the Greens could be a bit better... But most were very puttible.
Enjoyed the course. Some nice long holes and rolling hills. Unfortunately, the greens were pretty rough.
Played first thing in the morning, so no waiting or anyone on our heels. Can’t speak to the pace later as have not been there before. There were a lot of people at the putting green and waiting when we were finished.
Fog delay
An early fog delay backed up the course. The Tuesday regulars played slower than normal due to delay. We played behind the last group who must be their slowest players. They never had to wait on the their shots because by the ninth hole a whole hole was open ahead of them. Usually a round here is three and half hours. Today was four and half hours. My personal game was terrible and I can abide poor play Slowness : no.
Cheap, but not worth it.
Course was in poor shape. Greens non-existing. Fairways not good either.
They let out fivesomes - that says it all.
Exceptional Service
Quick play and good system Tee at good time and pace of game
Puttingh on sand is no fun........ball bounces and doesn't roll true. Course in good shape but someone needs to take care of greens (seeding versus sanding). It's the most important part of the game!
Course in average condition. Fairways in poor condition, greens in good condition.. liked layout of course gave you multiple choices of tee boxes.
Nice place to play
It was a nice course to play on short notice. Played the front nine and found them to be fair and somewhat forgiving. They need more signage to make it easier to get around but I would play it again.
