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.

Golfer Reviews
Enjoyed the course ,will pay again!
One of the better courses in the area. The fairways are well kept as the ruff. Greens a little slow but have alot of breck as the balls slows.
very nice private course!
This private course is well maintained with really good true greens.We played from the blue tees, around 6400 yds and it was plenty! Will definitely try to play again before they close to the public. Great deal for $25.
A friendly course.
It was an enjoyable experience. Not much challenge on the front nine as most hole were straight forward. Little to no water in play, hard to lose a ball on this course. Really super friendly staff and it was nice to have fresh ice and water on both 9's. Would probably go back again.
Nice layout, but the Greens need attention
Very Plesent course, the elevation changes make it unique for central florida.The greens need attention bady before they loose them.
Try it while you can
The deal that you can get playing here right now is crazy cheap. The members are not happy it's open to public, and they made it perfectly clear when I played as a single and would not let me through when no one else was in front of them for 5 holes.
A Wale of Place
We couldn't wait to try this new GolfNow listing. i had heard good things about it and Lake Wales CC met my expectations. The course is right off of Highway 60 with easy access from north or south off of Highway 27. Hidden from the road by a large wall, once inside the property you see a lovely clubhouse with plenty of mature plantings and well maintained foliage. The pro shop attendant was cheerful and showed us to the practice area prior to our tee time. The Donald Ross 1926 design is a joy to play and challenging for any handicap. My playing partners could not figure out why we were always playing uphill and never really playing to a downhill green. The course is designed to flow very well with tee shots to wide softly sloped fairways and then to smallish greens that are typically set up for good drainage. There are 2 downhill par 3's.. The pristine layout is primarily without homes except on a few
holes, but no real estate intrusion. For this time of year where we have run into some bad greens, thinning faIrways and unkept conditions, LWCC was a pleasant change. My playing group is ready to call Lake Wales their home course. The ladies in the lovely restaurant where friendly. I am going to bring the wife for golf and dinner . That's saying something!
Not quite pristine but this Donald Ross designed course is in great shape.
Old style Florida course designed by Donald Ross. Great lay out. Not quite pristine but in great shape. Very generous tee shot landing areas. Fairways well carpeted. Roughs just right, easy to spot balls in. Greens rolling true & fairly fast but not real plush. Battery powered carts w/ windshields & rain cover in back. Fun course. Will definitely play again. Glad they went public.
Challenging Greens
Well maintained fairways lead up to challenging greens. Pin placement was very tricking at times, which will have the most seasoned golfers pride a little bruised... Thanks for a great round !!
