Rating 73.1

Fountains Country Club offers three different 18-hole championship courses, the West, North, and South. The golf courses sprawl across 865 lushly landscaped acres that are part of a gated golf community. All of the courses were designed in the 1970s by the team of Robert Von Hagge and Bruce Devlin. Water hazards come into play several times throughout the course and there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The golf course has some mild undulations but the terrain is mostly flat. All of the courses are player-friendly and diverse enough to accommodate a range of skill levels but conveniently, there are also five different sets of tees. In addition to the golf courses, Fountains boasts well conditioned practice facilities including putting greens, pitching areas, bunkers, and an expansive driving range.

Well Kept Course

This is a really well kept course, the greens are excellent and the rest of the course shows that the greenskeeper and his staff do a solid job taking care of this place. This is my second time playing here and I would most definitely return. My only complaint would be regarding the signage to go from one hole to the next. The layout going from hole to hole can be a bit confusing and there are switchbacks, street crossings etc that can be a bit frustrating. So I would like to see some more sinage to help navigate the course but otherwise this is an excellent course and well worth a visit!

No real beverage or food service

No beverage cart. There is a restaurant but no quick food or snacks. More of a sit down restaurant. Bring your own and you will be fine. Overall the course is well kept.

Diamond in the Rough

I played the West Course, one of several courses in in this private gated community within Lake Worth township. The West Course is really impressive! The fairways are comfortably wide and the greens fast and challenging. Several stations on the course providing water, ice, cups with lids and straws!
There was even one comfort station maned by a young lad offered me two water bottles and when I asked how much he chuckled and said there’s no charge. Of course, I offered him a tip which he tried to decline, but I wouldn’t hear of it.

I even showered afterwords since it was 90’ and the locker room provided towels, bath soap, shampoo and conditioner.

Truly a diamond in the rough!! Hope to play it again…soon!!!

the fountains west course

Course was 5 out of 10. Staff was not helpful nor were they friendly. No services were available...food/lunch..it seemed they did not embrace outsiders coming to play at this semi-private course. The conditions were good, layout was good the back nine was clearly in better condition and more visually appealing. I probably would choose elsewhere in the area to play next time.

Still Great After All These Years

My grandparents owned a townhouse in this development about 40 years ago and my brother and I spent a pretty decent amount of time there growing up. While it’s sad to see only one of the original 3 courses being used, it was a real treat to get to enjoy a round with my brother and nephew. The course itself is in pretty good condition and plays as well as any other “public” courses in the area. While there wasn’t a cart going around with snacks and beverages, there were plenty of water stations on the course to keep you hydrated. Would definitely recommend this course.
