Sweetwater Golf & Country Club

We have a blast every time we play here. We are local and enjoy the hospitality of the staff. Greens are awesome and well kept, need some work on the sand bunkers. Overall a fun place to play and enjoyable due to the staff!

I had high expectations of playing Sweetwater based on word of mouth in the Orlando golf community. Unfortunately, the reality fell far short of my expectations.

There were two primary reasons for my disappointment. First was the overall condition of the course. Second, was the course design.

As many people have mentioned the rough on the course is out of control. If you step one foot off of the fairway you are in high grass. Not only does this make finding your ball difficult (and slows the pace of play down dramatically) but I almost hurt my wrist on several swings.

The second issue is with the design of the course. On several par 5's they have trees that have not been trimmed in decades. You may be 250 - 300 yards out after your drive and have to shoot through a very narrow gap between mature trees that have almost completely covered the fairways. These trees are too high to go over and prevent a reasonable shot. Other holes aim you towards houses instead of fairways and greens.

The staff here are very nice. It is a shame that the owners have not invested in a great golf experience.

Played Sunday. Very slow round due to the amount of time spent looking for balls just off the fairway in the FOOT tall rough.

Broken equipment? ICE get your staff? Seriously should contract out to a company like Down to Earth.

Rough is a foot all again. However, they do now it every six weeks or so, whether it needs it or not.

despite there being no chipping or driving range, the course was fun and pretty. some of the fairways needed help. but the greens were perfect!. gas powered golf carts, with no gps. great pace of play. straight forward. sometimes you will have the starter put you on hole #10 to start because hole 1 is straight into houses. they say they do this because there is no warm up area, so they are protecting houses. didn't really bother me. but i think hole one would be nice to start because 18 is a great finishing hole. the round went by too fast.

I played Sweetwater a few weeks ago and gave it a comprehensive review. I concluded that its owners and staff are working hard to make it a course anyone would want to play. Playing it again I can only say it is even better than it was. I highly recommend supporting this course.

Gave this one a try after not playing it for awhile and was not disappointed. Pleasantly surprised actually. Always loved the layout, but the greens had been in bad shape for the longest time. They have recovered nicely with the recent rain. They may be a little slow for some people’s liking, but they run true. No bare spots. Staff is great, good food. Great value. It’s my new go-to course.

Need more grass in the fairways and less in the rough. I saw 3 big snakes in the rough while looking for my partner’s golf ball. Very unsightly.

Rain, rain please stay around. Everything is growing again. Greens and fairways are green again.

Fun course friendly stag and members. I will go back!

I am told that when it was first opened, Sweetwater was a great golf course. Over the years it apparently did not get the attention it needed. I would rate it as a good golf course right now. Having talked to a number of players on the course while I played, they were very positive about the current owners and management are making it better step-by-step. The staff, club house, restaurant and bar are excellent. I will play it again.

Greens have a new grass growing on them nice and lumpy.
