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 6,238-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.

Well playable track in rather moderate condition
This is a good place to go, but nothing special at all. The course has some narrow holes that require straight shots. Fairways and bunkers are OK. T-boxes need some attention. Greens are mostly OK, but not really special.
It is just a “small” place, OK for a pleasant round but nothing much to it.
An aging gem
Reasonably well maintained course conditions. Generous fairways, with well guarded greens by sand and water. Greens were very slow, with subtle undulations. A very good test of golf, but fair. We very much enjoyed our day. Clearly being run on a shoe string, although conditions still allow for a satisfying round.
Ejoyable Round
Have played this course a few times and find it is in good shape and not too crowded.
Always a challenge
Some very tight holes demand straight tee shots and some elevation change make this a very good layout to test your game. Greens were a bit slower than normal but still very acceptable. all skill levels should enjoy this course.
Sweetwater
We found a great deal at Sweetwater online. However, the day we chose, the course had a members event that ran late. Many tee times were delayed about an hour waiting for the carts to be returned. Once we teed off, though, the day was great. Pace of play was OK even with the backup. The course plays somewhat tight, but there are places to hit controlled shots. The greens seem to putt really well the times we have played here
Sweetwater review
Nice course, will come back and play again ! Loved the layout !
Interesting and challenging
I really enjoyed playing this course. Pretty difficult because of all the trees. Several tee shots have over hanging trees that you must be aware of. Par threes are pretty frisky. Greens roll very nicely and are actually better then they appear. Number 10 is a Monster.
No food and beverage available as they were getting ready for a wedding.
Definitely worth a look !!!
A bit unusual that you have to drive back down the first fairway ( or cross over and drive down second ) to get to 2nd tee box. A good place to get hit !!
Great conditions
I was greeted in the Pro Shop by the assistant pro Lee Mann......very helpful.....great attitude. I love this course. The condition is excellent. it's nice to see green fairways and tee boxes. The greens are some of the best In the area. I'm eighty two and it's nice to be able to get on in regulation, this course allows me to do that,once in a while. My son and I played here last Saturday. I 've been back
three time since then...can't get enough of a good track.
Never enough golfing
My wife and I play the Sweetwater course twice a month. We consider it an open type course; however, we prefer a more precision type layout. Yet, we enjoy playing there and have played with others of like mind.
great golf course
Golf Enthusiasts.
Sweetwater CC is a great, old school golf course. It has one of the best layouts in Orlando. This golf course will make you use every club in your bag, always a sign of a good golf course. The par 3's are particularly challenging. I will be back soon!
Fairways and Greens,
Mike

Sweet time at Sweetwater
Well manicured course, fairways and greens were great, tee boxes could use some work but we're easily playable. Staff was friendly and well informed. Great place to go for a round of golf. Loved it
Sweetwater is in great shape
Course in great condition,
restaurant was closed but snack bar open,
Great price through Golfnow for an upscale course.
nicely kept facility
the course is well maintained with wall to wall overseed.play was a little slow with a 4-some holding everyone up,if a ranger was employed this would have helped in getting faster groups through.great price in the middle of day.
Best course in area
Well maintained greens a little slow traps could use more sand in some. Par three's most. Challenging.
Enjoyable Golf Round
This course is in Very Good Shape and has some challenging holes that require tight shots.
Greens were in Very Good Shape sand traps placed perfectly.
