Lake Wales Country Club

Early morning tee time allowed me to cruise through until a couple jumped in front of me on 10, who took a long time to let me pass.

Course is decent.
Not much merchandise to choose from.
Lots of courses in the area to choose from, but this fit my schedule that day.

Only saw the guy behind the counter;no Marshall,no cart girl with refreshments. Pace of play was excellent we were to follow 2 groups of 4 and we went ahead at the 1st;we played 18 holes in less than 4:20 minutes the course was in rough conditions but we only paid $30.00

Arrived and waited in the golf shop (which had almost nothing in it!) and after 15 or so minutes someone finally came in. I paid and was told no range balls and no starter.

Putting green in very poor condition, bare spots and dandelions all over it. The course green were much the same. Bare spots and tufts of either crab grass or dandelions, it was difficult to tell.

Bunkers were terrible. Fairways were ok in spots.

Pace of play was very bad. Three of the groups in front were 5 somes! and they all played 2 balls each off the first tee.

Overall I will not go back which is a shame as this was once a wonderful place to play. Sad that a Donald Ross course has fallen into these conditions.

Fairly long course, hardly any water. Greenside traps are biggest hazard. Nicely undulating hole’s considering that this is Florida. Enjoyed playing here.

A couple of the Greens could be a bit better... But most were very puttible.

Enjoyed the course. Some nice long holes and rolling hills. Unfortunately, the greens were pretty rough.
Played first thing in the morning, so no waiting or anyone on our heels. Can’t speak to the pace later as have not been there before. There were a lot of people at the putting green and waiting when we were finished.

An early fog delay backed up the course. The Tuesday regulars played slower than normal due to delay. We played behind the last group who must be their slowest players. They never had to wait on the their shots because by the ninth hole a whole hole was open ahead of them. Usually a round here is three and half hours. Today was four and half hours. My personal game was terrible and I can abide poor play Slowness : no.

friendly pro shop course golfer friendly. very good pace of play

Course was in poor shape. Greens non-existing. Fairways not good either.
They let out fivesomes - that says it all.
