Rating 73.1

Located in Lake Worth, Fountains Country Club is part of a gated golf community. The club boasts three different 18-hole championship courses called the South, West, and North. In the 1970s, Robert Von Hagge and Bruce Devlin collaborated to design all three courses. They all have a classic design that showcases the traditions of Florida golf but each has a unique character and set of challenges. All of the golf courses have plenty of water but the South Course has water on nearly every hole. The course is mostly flat and wide-open but there is some subtle mounding as well as strategic bunkering to provide some challenges. It is a gentle enough layout for beginners though and there are also five sets of tees to make it even more accommodating.

Staff Dishonest

I left my wallet and range finder and neither one was in the cart. Used my range finder on the part hole and never used my wallet. The fact they say it isn’t at the course is unbelievable. They clean the cart within minutes of us finishing g and they should be more than forthcoming and bring my items to me before I even leave.

Most overrated course around here

Well today was my first time playing, had a 1231 tee time. Showed up around 1210, and it was such an animate process to find the clubhouse, where you are supposed to “bag drop”. Had to walk around the building found some nice kids in the cart barn that could care less about anything going on. They were out of tees. Because we had such a hard time finding where and how to check in, they decided to send off the 1236 foursome at 1234. Starter gave me a huge attitude and told me to go tell the other group I was late and see what happens. He was insanely rude, as was the cart girl that we saw for the first and only time on the 9th hole. She was sure to lay the “it’s a privilege to have me out here” attitude on us as she showed up and was the rudest cart girl ever. We get done with the round and not one person came out of the cart barn to lean our clubs or help us with anything. You could hear them inside messing around and why not. So end of the day I started this with a 2 star review and am now changing it to a 1 star, it was literally that bad of an experience.

Great first time

We thought the course was in really good shape. Greens were sanded, but still rolled true. Will put on the list to play every time we come back.

Great Condition- personnel not too friendly

Played for 1st time..no one at bag drop...no signs for pro shop..once we found female attendant not overly friendly...found the carts and young employee said ok to drive to drop to pick up bag..where we were yelled at by grumpy old man who said absolutely not! No direction to where 1st hole was located...no score card and said they were out! Drove to starter booth but locked up..drove back to pro shop and girl said literally last one! Finally found the 1st and just started our round...Course and fairways were excellent! Course in great shape..not for a walker though..lots of distance between holes...Course stretches for several miles...Course was amazing..Just needed the human element tweaked@

Great Place to Play especially for the Price

I’ve played here a few times and it continues to impress. The greens are in good shape having been punched about 5-6 weeks ago. They are not slow and roll true, had no problems putting on them. Tee boxes are ok, no amazing. Fairways are soft from all the rain but in condition. Second cut and Rough is a little rough with some patches needed.

Layout of the course is nice. Major issues is the long drive between holes so pay attention to signs to get to the next hole because it’s confusing.

No real signature holes, but an overall nice layout. 18 was the hardest and best laid out hole in my opinion.

Driving range balls included in the price makes this even better. Main range has mats and the other side with grass but limits to 250 shots max so couldn’t hit the woods. Other side also has a chipping area. Practice green was just like the real greens which is great.

Off course amenities. We saw the cart girl twice on a during the week round so that works. They have a complimentary beverage station at the cart barn with soda and Gatorade which was Great! The bathrooms were clean and offered a water station with ice machine at each one.

You get some perks of a private club, range balls and a nice course for a municipal price. I would definitely recommend it.

Don’t play this course!!!

I got tee times on this course through the south Florida golf pass, and it’s obscured that this course is even on it! Just got done playing as I’m typing this! I never write reviews about any course so obviously this has to be that bad for me to waste my time writing this! We didn’t get a cart girl till the 10th tee! Only takes cash.. you have to drive almost 1 mile in total to get to half the holes! Punched greens (which isn’t an issue for me) cart guys were great! Horrible layout! For being a “country club” this may be one of the worst courses I have ever played in my life. If you are a decent golfer please don’t waste your time here. I wanted to try something new but should have just played okeeheelee..

Great Experience

Booked my round hours before my 3p tee time. Had played last year and course was in much better shape this year. Clubhouse closes at 3, so stock up on beverages prior to teeing off. Got a great rate. Greens were perfect. Play was a little slow as there are no rangers and beginners in front of me, who showed no etiquette. I’ll be back soon.
