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
Not even for free.
It’s shameful that a course with such a beautiful layout is in such terrible shape. What are the using to mow, goats? Part of the problem is poor maintenance but it is obvious that many players don’t fill divets. I I really wouldn’t play this course for free. Oh and the greens are in horrible shape. The tee boxes were worse than the fairways on the next worse course in the area.
The course that time forgot
I would imagine at some point this was a very nice course, layout is nice and forgiving but tge place is just very tired.
Looks like money has been tight and they are trying to work on it but tough to find a nice lie.
Jabdilla4
Course was what i expected.Sunday pin locations were reasonable.on course restrooms are sad
Conditions
Course is rough at best fairways are decent the rough is patchy greens are slow but you can tell that the course is having work put into it. I think if they keep up the hard work it will be a good course. The lay out is entertaining a good mix of long and short par 4s. I will play it again for sure ! Keep up the good work boys
Great course
Fairways and greens were in very good shape
Pace of play was great
Will play this course again and will recommend to other golfers of any skill level
Needs a lot of work
I travel for work, so having some time I tried this course. Well there is a reason for so many open T times. It’s ok to play but course condition is in need for a lot all around. I was told it was the best it has ever been. This must have been pretty bad before !
Greatly improved course conditions
So much better than it was a few months ago. It’s just ridiculous. A beautiful way out. It just needs a lot of TLC and I’m glad they’re doing it put in the money it’ll be worth it.
nice mature tight Florida golf course design
Greens were better than I have payed previously Fairways good as well. Looks like a lot of improvements thank you and keep up the good work . The holes are fun to play and present a challenge from the Blue tees.
Greens
Value for your dollar is good but the greens are not in the best of shapes
The course definitely is not the same as 2 years ago, they have work a lot to put it in superb conditions like it is. For the price you can’t expect nothing better.
I definitely recommend this course it has a great lay out and long pars 4’s & 5’s.
I got surprised!
