About
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.

Course is a wreck
Fun little layout on the back nine, but those might be the worst greens I’ve ever played on. No range, or chipping area.
Decent value for the money and very friendly staff!
The course was rough in most spots - bare fairways in spots, greens were somewhat inconsistent in terms of grass. The layout was fine - we enjoyed the hole variation.
The pro shop staff were outstanding - we had a delay in getting to the course and they were very accommodating in getting us off once we arrived - thanks!
Needs a little work
Fairways need some rain to help grass.A few greens had bad spots but overall was good.
SWEET COURSE
THIS IS ACTUALLY A REALLY NICE COURSE! ELEVEN (11) KILLING FROSTS HAVE SEVERELY DAMAGED ALL THE FAIRWAYS AND SURROUNDING GREENERY THIS WINTER. CAN'T FIGHT MOTHER NATURE!!! HOWEVER, A BETTER IRRIGATION SYSTEM WOULD HELP IMMENSELEY.
A little rough
Not the greatest but the friendly staff make up for it. The greens/fairways definitely need some attention and no driving range but cool little spot.
Quirky!!
Needs alot of tlc. Very tight fairways, greens had some disease. Not bad for the price.

Its a very nice layout, but in terrible condition in all facets of the course. greens deseased, fairways hard as rock with huge areas of no grass and out areas pure dirt. if it wasnt on the inexpensive side and had availability would not play it.
Possibly the worst conditions I’ve ever played
Nothing but hard pan and dirt
Course layout on front nine not even close to the scorecard. Par fours that are 120 yards short of quoted distance. Can we at least redo and update the card please?
Making Progress
Greens were overall very nice. A couple hot spots on the edges of a few but otherwise in very good shape. The holes 6/7 layout has been improved. Tee boxes need work but getting better. Some larger tree work needs done, with one holes tee boxes blocked on left side in an area that should not be blocked forcing your tee shot right, but not because it was designed that way, just because the oak tree hasn’t been trimmed back in years. Bunkers are well kept. Pace of play is great. #9 is a tough customer, forces layup and elevated green.
