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.

Pleasant layout and surroundings
Staff was friendly. I have played there several times before the recent changes and it used to be a pristine course. It’s evident that they are trying, nice new carts, clubhouse being renovated, however, should they not make a serious effort to make the greens better (about 5 or 6 of them) and make the bunkers better, pretty soon very few golfers will be willing to play there….and as far as I’m concerned, that would be a travesty!
No where near country club course.
Very disappointed after driving an hour thinking it would be in country club shape but it was more like a field then fairways. Tee boxes were terrible, and first hole shares the maintenance dirt entrance. Then hole 2 is parallel to hole 1 requiring you to drive back up the dirt cart path towards hole 1 tee box before turning right behind maintenance building to reach hole 2 tee box as next group is teeing off at you! After hole 2 the course layout does get better but conditions were poor. Bunkers weren't raked, and no toilet paper in restroom. Only good thing was the greens. I think it's over-priced for conditions it was in. Hopefully they're working on restoration because it has great potential.
Course was ok… some of the green were NOT GOOD!!! Most of tee boxes were in BAD SHAPE!!! But for price …. It was ok..
What a disappointment
Now I know why tee times were available. Course in pretty bad shape. Front 9 the worst. Tee boxes mostly sand with the odd blade of grass or weeds. Fairways not much better. Sand trap’s haven’t been raked in god knows how long. Only staff I meet was at checkin in the parking lot. Club house closed and not accessible. Only washrooms were on course. Course located in a gated community. Had to call course for access code to get in.
Overall a fun course.
Layout of the course is good. They are in the process of building a new Clubhouse. It looks like they had shorten the first tee to do so. Only 210 yards par 4. The course does need some attention. None the bunkers have been raked in awhile. Some had standing water.
Sweetwater
Country club style layout. Club house being up graded. Bunkers need work and holes 1 and 18 need to be redesigned. One of my go to courses.
Sweetwater
One of my go to courses. Love the back 9. Bunkers need work and rakes. A hidden gem.
Sweetwater
One of my go to courses. Love the layout, especially the back 9. Bunkers need work and rakes. Remake of the course is still a work in progress.
Not bad
Very friendly professional welcome on arrival, brand new golf carts, pace was slow but that was mainly because it was a Friday afternoon and I was happy to play on my own instead of team up with the group in front. Some of the fairways are tight but it was decent value for money
Nice layout on the back 9. Front 9 is just average. Number 1 hole needs improvement. Several greens were unplayable in some areas. The fairways were dry and hard. The entire course needs some TLC. Probably was great course in it's early days. I probably will play it again.
Sweetwater
Old country club styled course. Bunkers need work and rakes. Course does need some love and care. Enjoyed the layout. First and eighteenth holes need to be configured.
Rough shape
A bit disappointed in the condition of the course. Greens were okay, lots of weeds in fairways and most of the tee boxes were in terrible shape.
Sweetwater
Old style CC course. Greens were good. Bunkers are terrible and no rakes. Several tees need work. Love the layout and enjoy playing the course.
