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.

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

First Time Playing

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.

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!

On the upside

So all fairways were reseeded and now cut to fairway height. Greens roll good but there r bare spots which r understandable for how much work it takes to have perfect greens. Fun track tests ur skill at all tboxes. Very eye appealing to. Give it a shot
