I was fortunate to play the Country Club of Winter Haven and it was one of the nicer courses that I…read morehave played in the state of Florida. The golf course features a handful of holes on the back nine on a giant lake with very nice scenery. The course was very well maintained and was in excellent shape. The tee boxes were superb, the fairways were lush and full of grass, and the greens rolled perfectly. Around the greens were manicured neatly and the course had no flaws whatsoever. Hats off to the superintendent. The layout really fit my eye with some challenging driving holes calling for different shot shapes throughout the round. The greens were a good size, although being precise with your approach shots is the key to shooting a good score here. The greens have plenty of slope to them, so it's crucial not only to hit the green, but to knock it somewhat close to the flagstick. At just over 7,000 yards from the tips, the golf course can play long, especially with a little bit of wind, which is fun, yet also challenging. My favorite thing about the Country Club of Winter Haven is that you really don't feel like you're in Florida. It's very quiet and peaceful on the course and the birds chirping are about all that you hear. If you have the opportunity to play a round of golf here, you won't be disappointed.

Played this course today and was extremely impressed by the whole place. We didn't go into the…read moreclubhouse so I can't comment on that but the pro shop was decent and the merchandise was very reasonably priced for a private club. This is an old course and was designed in 1923 but has had improvements and changes to holes to keep it updated and challenging. You can tell from the putting green that they were rolling fast and furious! The range was not big but enough to serve it purpose. Chipping area with bunkers helped the warm up session. Tee boxes were in very good shape so it was easy to get a good set up on every tee shot. The fairways were immaculate and the rough was kind short so it was forgiving if you were not straight. Bunkers were all in perfect shape and raked to perfection. There was always at least one side of the hole that had an out of bounds so you had to have some accuracy. Decent amount of water on the course too so it kept you honest! The silver lining to this course is the greens though. The surface was immaculate with no discoloration or any weeds anywhere. The stimp meter was high and the ball was rolling fast and true. While they didn't seem like they were too challenging they also had a sneaky undulation to them so there wasn't one flat green! This is definitely a course to play if you get a chance!

My friends used the club house for the reception and it was just perfect. It was big enough that there was room for tables and a huge dance floor which is exactly what they wanted. There is a bar in the club house as well which serves food along with drinks. There was a pool by the lake and an out door dining area. I didn't deal with staff or the bar since I was there for a ceremony that had outside catering but the facilities were beautiful and well kept. Also there were lots of plants and a garden area which is where the wedding was held.

I was asked if I was 18, wondering why that mattered I said no. I was then told I was not allowed to play the course at all because of this and when asked l why they couldn't give me an answer other than "it's our policy." When I asked if I could walk the course I was told walking doesn't start till 1 PM while my tee time was at 10:40 PM. This "policy" was not posted anywhere at the course or on the website and they wasted my time and money. I would never think about going here again.
