South at Fountains Country Club

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.

Blah
Course was in poor shape except the greens were ok.. boring layout.. nothing great.. private course that has open slots/days apparently for nonmembers.. better places in area for cheaper.
Fountains west
Nice track greens roll well I will return worth the dollar.
Enjoyable and worth playing again.
First time playing this course. Won’t be our last. My wife both enjoyed the course. Conditions were good and layout was enjoyable.
Just ok
Booked this course based that it was a private country club and expected much more being it was dubbed as "member for a day". We weren't treated with much respect at all. No one explained where to go for the starter or anything for that matter. Neither the pro shop, bag attendant, or cart girl had any change. We wanted to tip for their services but they couldn't provide change. I felt bad but I wasn't tipping $20 for a $5 beer. The course itself was just average. It was very wet and they told us it was cart path only most of the time due to poor drainage. That should've been disclosed during booking. I never would have played there if I knew. Only saw the cart girl once. Would've hoped she came around again with change since I was extremely hot and needed refreshments being we walked a lot of the course. The greens rolled nice and were consistent. The bunkers were great. Signage could be better but we found the holes. For being a country club, I think it was just ok at best. I didn't get the feeling that it was a pristine country club atmosphere. Won't go back.
Fun course “Member for a Day”
Fun course, pretty much had the entire West course to myself. The course was in decent condition, but not great! I still had fun, started playing crappy, but finished very strong.
The Fountains is a great course.
My son and I played there. The course is in great condition. We played at a great pace. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
The Fountains is quality golf
I played the course with my youngest son as a reward for getting exceptional grades in school. The course is in great condition. The layout is very entertaining and difficult. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. I will play there again for sure!
Terrible conditons and experience
The course is in very rough condition. They brought in a new GM to fix the terrible overall conditions and experience at this club. So far not much has changed and the GM is not very responsive. A lot of their ammenities are closed or limited hours during the summer. Customer service is lacking.
Member for a Day NO Thanks
I dont have the time to post all my complaints. There are too many other courses in the area that are much better. Pass on this one
A very good shot makers course.
Great layout, very fair when played from the proper tees. Many birdie opportunities if you hit a good drive.
Greens are quick and roll true.
Thank you for Opening this course to GolfNow
Enjoyed my round there. Challenging. Some bare spots in fairways. Needs but water but playable. Nice layout
Disappointing
The hook for me was limited access to a Country Club for Golf Now members.
I was underwhelmed with the course condition, layout was poor, the signage was lacking to go to the next hole. To get to the next tee there many trips onto the street to find next tee. Between the 9th and 10th we were no where near the club house. They did not have a beverage food cart at all. Yes the water stops were abundant but we would have eaten & drank if convienient
Not too bad
Fairways a bit rough. Burned out. Greens were good and fast.
Fun course in good shape
Course was in good shape and fun /o play, greens we true and pretty fast. I would definitely play here.
