Rating 72.3

Located just west of downtown Orlando in Clermont, Swiss Fairways Golf Course utilizes the wide open and hilly terrain that is typical for that area, but uncommon throughout the rest of the state. Large greens welcome low handicappers while strategic bunkering is incorporated into the layout to add some challenge. There are over a hundred sand traps in total and 10 water hazards come into play. Swiss Fairways Golf Course has a relaxed, casual atmosphere that is far from the typical country club environment. Although it is relatively unknown, the Swiss Fairways Golf Course will most likely grow in popularity due to its affordable rates and interesting layout.

Random shotgun scrambles and rude management.

Twice now I’ve been to this course and paid for my round without being informed before payment of a shotgun scramble later in the day. Course is only 9 holes so shotgun scrambles have nowhere to go without backing you up.

Made it through the first 9 holes and the scramble carts started passing by us without even asking if we’d like to play ahead.

Went back to the clubhouse to inform management we’d like a refund and wouldn’t be returning. Owner wasn’t there.. staffer called owner and explained the situation. Owner hung up.

Owner made it back to the clubhouse, walked in and proceeded to ask what the issue was. I explained what was going on and instantly got combated and questioned. He offered a rain check and I informed him this keeps happening I don’t want to come back at all. Started to get ridiculed for my pace of play and asked what kinds of courses I play etc.

Again informed the owner that he should simply let people know in advance of shotgun scrambles and give people the opportunity to decide if they even want to play. Guy got angry, I told him nobody pays for a round to be standing around with their thumb in their butt. Went to walk out the door to the clubhouse and eat my loss and the owner started yelling at me.

Yelled back for a bit, shut the door and walked to my vehicle. Owner came outside the clubhouse to yell at me more and followed me all the way to my vehicle. Got face to face with me and my father at multiple points as I was trying to unload the cart and return it to leave.

Never got a refund, didn’t want a rain check, won’t be back.

I’d avoid this course at all costs. Isn’t worth the hassle that comes with it.

Great vaue

I enjoy playing there very early in the morning because there’s almost no one around and it’s beautiful. It’s definitely a nice choice here in the Clermont area. I just actually had a clubhouse to go to afterwards.

Great fun value

This is my best friends local country club and it’s a great time. Layout is fun and cold brews are cheap. Always meet great people out at Swiss Fairways. Also very cool to watch skiers while driving down the fairways. New greens are rolling good.

Well-Kept Secret

The course is in amazing shape for late February. There’s just enough water and sand to require good players to choose their target. However, the wide fairways allow high handicappers to keep a ball in play.

…a very nice nine-hole course, reasonably priced and well worth the time.

Winter Golf

Discovered that the course is a 9 hole layout after checking in. It played alright for 18 holes byswitching up the tee blocks. Fairways are decent but very dry with thin spots. Rough areas were dusty and no real grass. Sand traps were the best maintained areas of the course. Pace of play was good but the course was not busy when I was playing. Staff in the pro-shop was very nice and helpful for a 1st timer at the course.

Best course conditions so far

Played several other courses when I have been down on vacation. This was by far the best course conditions. Nice track, greens are smooth and true, fairways in great shape. Pace of play has been really good. Already have more rounds planned here - great value for the money.
