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.

Just don’t play here.
Layout is bizarre. 300 yard drives in between holes.
Quit after 13 holes, was going to be a five hour round.
We were told there would be a food/ beverage cart out there. Never saw her. Called pro shop 2x from course, straight to VM.
Fast Greens
This is a fairly typical, South Florida condo-type layout. Course was hard and fast with fairways a little tight to clip the ball. However, whatever shortfalls there were, the greens made up for it. They were fast, true but fair. I love fast greens and it was fun to putt on them...just stay below the hole when possible.
Meah. Just an alright.!
The course itself was ok. Nothing bad to particularly say.
Getting lost for 15 minutes trying to find the next tee box was frustrating. Seriously if they don't want large signs in the neighborhood. I get it. Then paint something on the sidewalks. Also no GPS in the carts. Nice fans though.
I play a lot of golf and there are certainly far worse courses
I paid more than my friends! Why? I'll
Never know.
Would I play there again? Yes. Hopefully not the WEST course. In a real rating out of a 10.00 it gets a 6.524. Not bad. But not exceptional
Fountains West
Fairways in very good shape for in-season South Florida; greens had a lot of sand on them but still rolled true. Bunkers had good quality sand. Holes are spread out all over the place and signage could be better. Round took 4 1/2 hours on a Thursday afternoon. Pro shop and starter both asked to see Golfnow confirmation but were very pleasant about it. Carts were very comfortable. Courses in quality condition cost a lot in South Florida in season.
Not a great experience
We had a slow group in front of us which didn’t bother us at all but the group behind us was up our tail and super rude. I’m not going to hit into the group in front of us but clearly what’s what the group behind us wanted us to do which was really unnecessary. It wasn’t that slow and this just really soured our round. Complain to a marshal or call into the clubhouse but don’t ruin our round.
Nice course
Nice course, back Nine is much better than front Nine. Played using Golfnow Hot tee time and paid $90. The normal rate that they quoted me at the course was $85.
Average course, above average price
This course recently started allowing the public to play. Although the restaurant and other clubhouse amenities are very nice, the course is average at best. The conditions were average. The pace of play was slow, and the price charged is well above what a comparable course would charge. Overall, overrated, and not good value for money.
The Fountains South course
Had heard the Fountains was very nice, and this time we heard right. The course was in very good condition and the design was both challenging and fair. Water was in play but not overly invasive to higher handicappers. I would recommend the course and look forward to playing it again.
