Sweetwater Country Club is situated amid the beauty of the Wekiva State Park. Sweetwater is one of Orlando's premier golf courses, boasting a challenging championship layout with some of the area's best greens. The classic links layout brings a taste of Scottish golf to central Florida. Mature oaks shade the golf course, lining the fairways and framing the greens. The 6,771-yard layout offers a good amount of length but it's definitely not a grip-it-and-rip-it course thanks to tight fairways that require accurate shot placement. The course is home to one of the longest par 5s in the Southeast, a challenging 625-yard hole that is aptly named the "Loch Ness Monster." The heavily tree-lined hole double doglegs around a large lake. There are some challenging holes but Sweetwater Country Club isn't overly punishing for the high handicapper.

I enjoy the course and the staff is really great. There’s a few holes you can tell they are trying to revive the greens, as soon as those come through that will be really nice.

Course gets better after the first few holes

Windy day due to hurricane passing offshore & the first few holes the greens were very patchy. Good news was that after the first few holes the greens improved greatly, particularly on the back nine. It's an interesting layout with a couple of challenging holes due to elevvation changes. Staff were friendly & pace of play was excellent - got the round in under 3 hours.

Nice touch was the rake with each cart which saved you having to find a rake if you happen to go into the bunker. The rake also double up as a handy ball retriever if you find any water & don't want to get too close to the edge!

Remember - the greens improve greatly after the first few holes & you'll enjoy the back nine.

Course is in good shape. Fairways were surprisingly good. Greens were fast but fair. Would like to see cart paths marked better.

Sweet water

Course is being worked on under new management. You can see the improvements and the vision the new owner ship has. A great lay out.

Staff were extra courteous. A lovely clubhouse. We had a few cold ones after the round and a freshly made pizza cooked by jersey Joe himself. I definitely recommend playing the course and enjoy the friendly atmosphere in the clubhouse.

Good enough

Played the front 9 in 1hr 15 minutes. Fairways are decent, greens roll, but had some bare spots. Typical public course . The front nine was a little confusing. They are changing the layout. Wide open fairways, but lined with trees. Shorter course. Good enough for the money

Great round ended early by rain

The greens were surprisingly good, and I started the round with 2 birdies. I had to drive out to the 3rd hole to begin, because their was a 7-some on the first green.

Thunderstorms were unfortunately moving in, so I had to end what was a great round (1 under after 14 holes) early.

Staff is amazing

Every time I go to sweet water I leave with a smile on my face, the club house manager is goated and everyone else is very friendly. I got a smorgasbord of pizza which was delicious and was prepared quickly, the course itself is great and the price is just right. 10/10

Sweetwater golf and country club

The staff and the country club is very nice with good food. The corse was in below average condition, the layout was awful and there’s no driving range or practice greens. We had a maintenance worker on almost every hole with us and several times in the range of the shot so that was very uncomfortable. Overall I will most likely never go back or recommend anyone to.

Sweetwater April 25

My nephew and I played Sweetwater Sat. 4/19 starting mid-morning, we finished at 2:00, so a solid 4hour round. Like a lot of local courses, the dry winter beat up the fairways. Still very playable, but not Sweetwater at its best. We both enjoyed the smooth, and fast rolling greens. What the fairways lacked, the greens made up for. The staff was great. All were very personable and welcoming. All and all, a good day

Coming along Great

Greens were fantastic and in great shape. Fairways have improved a ton albeit with little more work needed and they are doing it. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A driving range would be great and a more stocked pro shop but great value and course is coming along great. Keep it up, we’ll be back.

Only positive thing about this course is the clubhouse after the round for cold beer and pizza.
