Length 6783 yards
Slope 133
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.

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

Fountains West

Greens are fast and tricky. Teeboxes could use more grass. Staff is very nice. West Course goes all over the place, but directional signs are pretty good.

Faded gem, but west course still very good.

Interesting and challenging course with water or stragic challenges on every hole. No amenities except for range and cart attendant who passes by infrequently. Course itself well laid out as it winds through a substantial but very old development which appears at times to be a ghost town. South course now gone to development and most of the facilities are deserted. N.B. Your GPS will take you to an inattended residents-only entrance with a gate you cannot access. Nevertheless, would play again.

Worse management

We drove over a hour to play this course. We arrive and the pro shop staff says “unfortunately we can’t get you out today because golfnow screwed up and shouldn’t have posted the tee time. That was it. He never offered a discount or a round for a different day/time. Left us there with zero and didn’t care at all. I would hope management would read this and contact me to offer me something but I doubt it.

Very disappointing and unprofessional.

If I was around the corner I wouldn’t mind but I drove over an hour.

Stay private and don’t ever offer “member for a day” if this is how you are going to treat guests.

Fountains with an Ace

We played the West course, its a good lay out and conditioning was better than fair. The third hole fly over the tree on left, for a better landing area, 6th hole do the math and give yourself the stock wedge yardage approach shot, water is close from the tee. 13 play it the same as the player they but with us, jar the tee shot for an Ace. It suddenly became a really fun day. Steph was the man. 18 is a good quality par 4. Pay attention to the tee shot and set up where you want to play your approach shot from. We finished are round at 4:30 and there was no place to have a drink and celebrate the Ace. Thus the low rating.

Good course and price

Solid course for the price during season in FL. Played on a Friday morning and finished in 4 hours. Tee to green was in great condition, greens rolled fast and true. Starter was awesome, he drove us to the first hole and explained how to get to a few holes. It was tricky to get to a few tee boxes.

I loved the greens

For the most part, this is your average, lots of doglegs and water course. However, the texture and speed of the greens more than made up for it. The speed was challenging but fair. Avoid being above the hole when possible. Your shot into the green was probably the most important. I am a 73 year old, 7 handicap golfer. I would play it again.
