Lake Wales Country Club

By using golf now’s hot deals at the lake, Wells country club you cannot beat the price for the quality. Of course you’re getting to play.

Greens were pretty good. Other than that, course was in bad share
We had a 12:52 tee time. Had a group of 30 they put in front of us. Teed off 1:30 behind a fivesome.

17 of 18 Greens were excellent doing repairs on one. Fairways are dry, sparse and hard.

I have played this course many years, never seen this course so bad. Greens nice a little slow, sand traps nice. Tee boxes, fairways couldn’t find much grass. New ownership seemed about 2 years did plant some seeds, starting looking better. Now just bad.

Can you keep up the maintenance get some water on the fairways the greens from us?

This Donald Ross course has a phenomenal layout but the condition of this course has deteriorated extremely. We have been playing here for the last three years. It’s getting worse every time we play. This course is worth saving.

Terrible shape. Will not play again until next year.

I’m in a quandary here. What do I say about this place? Not often am I so torn about a golf course. This place has a beautiful design and layout. Beautiful. But it’s a crying shame the course and grounds are in such horrible shape. Lack of grass everywhere? Yup. Cement ground everywhere? Yup. Weeds and bald areas on most greens? Yup. Lack of grass on tees? Yup. This beauty needs new ownership that will have the deep pockets needed to shut down the course down for at least a year to do the necessary repairs that would make this place the gem that it truly is. Good luck LWCC! We will be back again in hopes to see that someone cares enough about you to allow others to enjoy this gem that it has the potential to be.

Go back and search for a new course. I did the work for you and played this absolutely awful and super slow course. Staff was nice and course layout is good. I have seen dog parks in better shape. I never leave reviews, but I have to do y’all a favor and tell you this is not the course to enjoy your day.

Followed a 5some who had no urgency to proceed.
Greens were fine, difficult to find a good lie. But it must have been splendid in its day

Nice layout. Staff are great. Greens are nice, fast and consistent. Tee boxes and fairways are rough and in some spots that’s being kind.General rule of thumb here is if the cost is under 80 bucks these are the conditions you will find.

The course has taken a beating with no rain for about a month. We were behind a five some group of men. They started off the game by taking two drives each. We asked them if they were in a tournament but said we’re just playing a round. They said they were really fast players and we would never catch up after the first hole. This was not true. Waited on most shots.

We last visited 2 years ago. The irrigation wasn't working and tee boxes, fairways and greens not good so didn't go back till now.
New owner has improved things. Fairways and tee boxes now moderate. The rough and fairways hadn't see a mower in a few days.Fairways still need time, overseeding and fertilizer to get to a good state but better than before.
Greens were ok but were fuzzy but probably because they were letting them grow a bit more to get healthy.
Will maybe try in a month and see if the improvement keeps up.

Wish bar area open a little longer. Closing kitchen and bar at 3pm is to early

Played here on 2/28/23: Course is in need of serious care. From the clubhouse being under supplied to spotty at best fairways to horrible greens., this place is on the verge of going under. Don’t get me wrong the place has the potential to be a great course but the current condition its in would make Donald Ross turn over in his grave.I would think that the members would be ashamed to let a country club be in this shape. Save your money, there are better courses in a 30 mile radius and cheaper.
