Lake Wales Country Club

Bumpy greens, brown fairways, was really looking forward to playing, have heard it is actually getting better since the new owners took over, I'll try it again next year.

Very enjoyable course in great shape especially around the greens. Worth the drive to Lake Wales.

Due to the time of the year, the greens had sparse grass on them. During the spring, summer and fall months the greens are usually in very good condition.

I was excited to play a course where the Symetra Tour plays but it was in AWFUL condition. Fairways and rough were brown. The greens were fast but had dirt spots everywhere. The Symetra Tour is coming to this course in a month and a half. It's going to be a miracle to get it in even good condition.

Played on a windy day which made the course much more demanding that it normally would be. Wide enough fairways that there is not a lot of trouble from tee to green.Sand in good shape. The Bermuda was dormant so very tight lies in the fairway and around the greens. Once you reach the greens,that's where the fun begins. The greens are fast with lots of break,both obvious and subtle. It took me a long time to get comfortable with " reads" of the greens. Great difference in speed with subtle downhill versus up hill puts.Would like to play it again on a calm day.

We booked on Golf Now. Arrived and found out we would be playing with a scramble around us. Paired up with another couple, who were delightful to play with -- but the course is in terrible shape, except for the greens. Golfed only 9 holes and quit.

Excellent sand in traps that I was in on several holes. Greens were challenging and fun to putt.

Glad to play and very clean course with no area to loose balls. Most greens very good and challenging.
Staff. Rey good.

see review box above. We returned the next day to play nine holes again

A friendly warm welcome and treatment by all staff. We were paired up with a very nice couple of intermediate skills with excellent golf etiquette. The traditional old layout was fair. It would have been well above average if it wasn't for several fairways seemingly burned out (ball bouncing unusually off line) and with the greens being incredulously fast, which were clearly almost burned out. Even the other couple agreed the greens needed help. Fast greens are preferred but, burned out is a shame as the course could be better test if the greens ran at a fair fast pace. Hoepfully, course super can sort out.

Great place to play golf in Florida. No tricked up water and sand hazards. No lost balls. Just incredibly difficult greens. Typical Donald Ross test.

The day was a very enjoyable experience. The gentleman in the pro shop and the starter were very friendly and helpful. The course was a beautiful Donald Ross layout and was very playable for golfers of all abilities.

Nice to play an old course, looks as it has stop in times, even the members.

Private course that is letting outside play in
very nice, best golf course in the area
green were fast and true

As always LWCC was in great condition, the pace of play was good and above all the staff was very friendly and professional. I always like playing this Donald Ross course. We look forward to our next round at LWCC.

This is the first time playing the course, and as a group we enjoyed it very much. The greens were fast and true and it drains very well. The distance between the red and white tee boxes is quite lengthy. It drizzled most of the day on us but the carts were equipped with covers for our clubs. I would play again.

A very friendly golf club good course slick greens but enjoyable well maintained course would play again

As usual, the course was well maintained. From tee box to green all's good. Slick, quick greens make it a challenge to score well. Charlie and Bob are the best. If you haven't tried this course, your loss. Seriously folks, a great place to play. You will not be disappointed.

This was the first time we had played Lake Wales Golf Club and the four of us really enjoyed ourselves. The course was in great condition, the greens were quick and true, with good tees and fairways. A nice layout with some challenging par 3's. The staff were very helpful and friendly, we will certainly go back and play again.

From Kissimmee and my buddy and I try to play here as much as we can this time of year. Friendly staff, good range, fast greens and a course that plays much longer that the yardage with generous fairways and great par threes.Best value in Florida, in my opinion.
