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.
First time playing course
If you want to play a 6 hour round of golf then this is the place for you. Pace of play was horrible. Course is in good shape and the staff was very nice. Wouldn’t come back
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.
Solid course
Played the course on a Friday morning in 4 hours. Starter was very nice. Some holes were confusing but a nice layout. Tee to green in great condition. Can’t beat the price too!
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.
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.
