Fountains Country Club is a private country club community that was established in 1972. The community includes 1,767 homes that span 965 acres in the middle of Palm Beach County, of which the country club itself occupies 412 acres. At one time, there were three championship golf courses designed by renowned golf architects Robert Von Hagge and Bruce Devlin., however, only two are currently used.

The West Course was the final course to be built in the community and is widely considered the favorite; as such, it receives most of the play. From the back tees, this par 71 layout plays 6,793 yards, but with four sets of tees, it can be played as short as 5,294 yards.

As you make your way around the layout, you’ll find undulating fairways that lead to elevated Bermuda greens. Water comes into play on 16 holes and if you can play the entire round with the same ball, you’ve probably played fairly well.

There are several memorable holes on the West Course. The 10th and 11th holes can wreak havoc on a good outward side. Number 10 is a par 4 that plays 353 yards from the Blue Tees. It’s a dogleg right with a large bunker in the landing area on the right side and water straight ahead if you catch a good drive. Success off the tee will leave a short iron or pitch shot over water into a long, narrow green flanked by bunkers.

Number 11 is a straight-away par 5 with trouble everywhere. There’s water down the right side of the landing area; anything right of the water is in someone’s backyard. The layup shot can be tricky with water and sand on the left side and trees on the right side in the landing area. From there, you’ll have less than 100 yards into the long, rectangular green with bunkers on either side and a nasty pot bunker in front.

Number 18 is a hole that will test your golf mettle. It’s a 419-yard, par 4, dogleg right with water crossing the fairway just past the turn. Playing your tee shot down the left side may leave a little longer approach shot, but it will take the trees on the right out of play. Regardless, a good drive will still leave a long approach shot over water into another long, narrow green with water to the right and six bunkers surrounding it. Par is a great score here.

The Fountains has some good practice facilities including a driving range, a short game area with pitching and chipping areas, practice bunkers, and practice putting greens.

At the Fountains’ Sports Complex, you’ll find a fitness center with massage rooms and a sauna. Water fitness classes are available at the resort-style pool and the Aqua Bar & Grill serves lunch six days a week with Happy Hour every Tuesday and Thursday. And let’s not forget the Club’s large tennis complex which its 12 clay courts pickleball courts, and a pro shop.

The Fountains has a robust social calendar with both casual and formal social activities to suit everyone. Members can enjoy lunches and dinners in either the elegant Main Dining Room or casual pub. Their Sunday Brunch has a buffet fit for royalty. The Pub offers casual dining, with a huge, well-stocked bar overlooking the golf course. The Men’s and Women’s Card Rooms are always active, with couples card events each week.

What once was a 55-plus community that required country club membership, The Fountains is now open to all age groups and membership is no longer a necessity. Residences sell anywhere from the 140s for a one-bedroom condo to single-family homes in the 500s.

As a Concert Golf Partners club member, your benefits reach far past your home club. You’ll have “Home away from home” access to their entire portfolio and the amenities at each club.

The amount of cars that pile up at the guard house is insane. The line backs up onto the street on Lake Worth Road and blocks oncoming traffic. One day someone will get their car smashed by oncoming traffic and sue the HOA for sure. Get more guards or open up the entrance on Lantana Road to guests!

ZERO RATING!!! TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE ELDERLY!!
My 87-year-old mother-in-law has lived at The Fountains for over 12 years. Recently, we made the heartfelt decision to move her to Tampa to be closer to us. We put her house up for sale and moved her in early May.

When we called to cancel her $370 gym membership, we were shocked to be told we couldn't cancel until October. My husband patiently explained to the woman on the phone that she was moving four hours away and would no longer need the membership. But she didn't care. She coldly repeated that we had to wait until October.

My husband asked to speak to the GM, but of course, he wasn't there. My husband left a message, hoping for some compassion and understanding. Days passed with no return call. We called back, left another message, and still no response.

Now, here we are, stuck with a $370 membership, living four hours away. The Fountains doesn't care about their residents, only about squeezing every last dollar out of them.

I understand it's a business, but we live four hours AWAY! They keep draining money from her account and refuse to return our calls. Is this the kind of place you want to do business with? They are shamelessly taking advantage of the elderly on fixed incomes. Shame on them!

We truly cannot say enough about Letecia. She made our wedding day so special. She was so easy to work with, and looked out for us giving us tips along the way. We spoke with at least different 10 different wedding coordinators across several venues in South Florida, she's the only one that truly took an interest in us from the initial tour to the wedding day. She exceeded our expectations. The venue itself was beautiful, the floor to ceiling windows across the back wall was such an amazing bonus feature. The event staff was super nice and accommodating to all of our guest. I'm just so thrilled with our choice of venue for our special day. P.S. The comment about their being no bargain is absolutely false, she was amazing.

I normally don't do reviews. The Fountains and Indian Springs are owned by the same people, the employees at both clubs were nice. It is extremely clear that the 3 golf courses will soon be developed. If there is a golf course superintendent then they are not given the financial resources to do there job. To say that these courses are in disrepair would be a extreme understatement. I have played both Indian Springs and The Fountains in the past 2 weeks. Unplayable and sad to see
