The Falls at The Falls Country Club

The Falls Country Club in Lake Worth, Florida, features a Joe Lee design that reflects the architect's extensive body of work across the Sunshine State during the latter half of the twentieth century. Lee, who designed or redesigned more than one hundred courses in Florida, developed a reputation for creating playable layouts that incorporated the state's natural water features and relatively flat terrain into strategic golf holes. The Falls opened during a period when Lee was particularly active in South Florida's residential golf community development.

The course takes its name from the water features that define much of the property, with lakes and wetlands coming into play on numerous holes. Lee's routing works within the constraints of Florida topography, using water hazards, bunkers, and mature landscaping to create visual definition and strategic interest on a site that lacks significant elevation change. The design emphasizes accuracy over distance on many approach shots, where water placement requires careful club selection and execution.

The Falls serves a private membership in the Lake Worth corridor, situated among the dense concentration of golf courses that characterize Palm Beach County. The club operates as a country club with golf as its primary amenity, typical of the residential golf communities that proliferated in this region during the development boom of the 1970s and 1980s. The course provides year-round play in South Florida's subtropical climate, with conditions that favor Bermuda grass surfaces common to the area.
