South at Fountains Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

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..
Punched greens
Nice layout.. greens are weeks out from being true.. played as 2.. no waiting at all.. with 11am tee time.. range balls included.. great value for the price
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.
Whole course well taken care of
Greens rolled true and fast
Most of all fairways green and plush
Few sand spots on tee boxes
Staff very friendly
Bathrooms clean and well stocked
Ice and water stations well placed
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.
