West at Fountains Country Club

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.

the fountains west course
Course was 5 out of 10. Staff was not helpful nor were they friendly. No services were available...food/lunch..it seemed they did not embrace outsiders coming to play at this semi-private course. The conditions were good, layout was good the back nine was clearly in better condition and more visually appealing. I probably would choose elsewhere in the area to play next time.
Still Great After All These Years
My grandparents owned a townhouse in this development about 40 years ago and my brother and I spent a pretty decent amount of time there growing up. While it’s sad to see only one of the original 3 courses being used, it was a real treat to get to enjoy a round with my brother and nephew. The course itself is in pretty good condition and plays as well as any other “public” courses in the area. While there wasn’t a cart going around with snacks and beverages, there were plenty of water stations on the course to keep you hydrated. Would definitely recommend this course.
Very Solid Course
Staff was very welcoming of public player reservations. Course is in very good condition. Fairways very well manicured. Greens are tough!! Very fast! Golf cart fleet is very nice. No GPS but in great shape. Will definitely visit to play again!!
Great course!
My brother and I have played this course a couple of times and have really enjoyed it. It's in Fairly good shape, doesn't have too many hazards. It does have some challenging spots which makes it more fun. We personally did not see a cart person so we were a little parched considering that the westcourse does not come by the clubhouse after nine holes. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience.
Slow Play issues
My wife and I were excited to play this course as she had never played it. We were paired with two gentlemen who were so slow it took 4.5 hours to play 15 holes, at which time we gave up as it was now 6 pm! We never once saw a ranger. I was thrilled GN offered members for a day at this country club, pace of play should have been better enforced! Course itself was in very good condition! Greens were receptive but fast! Fairways have tight lies so bring your “A” game, especially if chipping to the green. I would definitely return!
