Lake Wales Country Club boasts a classic Donald Ross design that players of all skill level will enjoy. Built in the 1920s, the golf course has a different look and feel than most modern courses. Rather than exaggerated hazards and dramatic contouring, the layout blends seamlessly into the natural landscape. The routing of each hole was determined by the existing contours. Like many of Ross' designs, the phrase "hard par, easy bogey" holds true here. The layout features small greens with crown centers that are sloped back to front. Rough borders the fairways and the wide-openness of the course means that wind will often be a factor. Lake Wales C.C. is a challenging but straightforward golf course. There are no trick holes but there are several holes that will make you think.

Shameful

This course has a really nice layout and could be/probably was a beautiful course. It had the worst fairways I have ever hit off of. The greens weren’t much better with plenty of bare spots. Honestly, I drove 40 minutes to play here and I wouldn’t do it again if it were free.

The course that time forgot

I would imagine at some point this was a very nice course, layout is nice and forgiving but tge place is just very tired.

Looks like money has been tight and they are trying to work on it but tough to find a nice lie.
