About
Fountains Country Club offers three different 18-hole championship courses, the West, North, and South. The golf courses sprawl across 865 lushly landscaped acres that are part of a gated golf community. All of the courses were designed in the 1970s by the team of Robert Von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. Water hazards come into play several times throughout the course and there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The golf course has some mild undulations but the terrain is mostly flat. All of the courses are player-friendly and diverse enough to accommodate a range of skill levels but conveniently, there are also five different sets of tees. In addition to the golf courses, Fountains boasts well conditioned practice facilities including putting greens, pitching areas, bunkers, and an expansive driving range.

Sanded Greens, Rough Tee Boxes, Spread out holes, very Pleasant
The Greens were rolling about 8-9 and unevenly sanded. However general course conditions were fine. Very few people out in heat.
Thank goodness for good signage as the holes were quite spaced from greens to tees on the West Course.
Awful experience
Terrible course, beat up tee boxes, beat up greens, maintenance wouldn’t stop for players. This is a $20 course masquerading as some private course. Quit after 9. Money is better spent either being lit on fire or going to Poinciana across the street.

Aeration
There was nothing in the notes about the greens being aerated. The greens were so bumpy you had no chance for a 1 putt. Nice course but very deceptive to not be told in the notes or by the pro shop staff that the greens were in such awful shape.
Decent layout, poor condition
Unfortunately in Florida, courses blow up the greens in the summer. Decent moderately difficult layout but the greens were aerated and absolutely horrible.
Well Kept Course
This is a really well kept course, the greens are excellent and the rest of the course shows that the greenskeeper and his staff do a solid job taking care of this place. This is my second time playing here and I would most definitely return. My only complaint would be regarding the signage to go from one hole to the next. The layout going from hole to hole can be a bit confusing and there are switchbacks, street crossings etc that can be a bit frustrating. So I would like to see some more sinage to help navigate the course but otherwise this is an excellent course and well worth a visit!
No real beverage or food service
No beverage cart. There is a restaurant but no quick food or snacks. More of a sit down restaurant. Bring your own and you will be fine. Overall the course is well kept.
