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.

Pothead Staff Member!!

After waiting at the bag drop for around 10 minutes, I was approached by the cart boy who was clearly under the influence of marijuana. Not only did his weed fumes overwhelm me, but his eyes were extremely red. He seemed dazed and was awkwardly standing there. I was incredibly frustrated because I took off work to enjoy a nice Monday afternoon tee time, and this pothead was slow and uncooperative..not to mention rude. I was surprised that Sweetwater Country Club allowed such an unprofessional employee at their course because all the other staff seemed very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, the fairways were tight, but very beautiful and the neighborhood was so scenic. I would recommend this course to a friend only if there was another cartboy.

Poor Course Management

Tee time was 11:25, our group (4) was told that at 12 they had a Couples League that goes out at 12 so try and be done with hole 3 by then. We teed off hole three AT 12:00 and had two groups lined up waiting for us to get out of their way. On hole 7, a gentleman rode out and told us that we were holding everybody up (we weren't) and asked us to play quicker. At this point we were on pace to finish our round in 3 hours and 55 minutes. Now, I'm all for pace of play in golf, but anything less than 4 hours shouldn't not be considered slow!

For the rest of the afternoon we were at least a hole in front of the group behind us without altering how fast we played. However, in the bar after the round, one of the players from behind us was bragging how he got management to tell us to pick up the pace and get us moving. Slightly frustrating that this was allowed since I was a paying customer as well, trying to enjoy a round.

In terms of the conditions of the course - I've seen a lot better. Greens are inconsistent between too slow or too bumpy. It was hard to tell the difference between fairway and rough most times and the tee boxes all need some TLC. Interesting layout but not worth the money I played for the experience I had, probably won't be going back out there anytime soon.

Good value with quick play

Pro: Greens and fairways in good condition. Course was not crowded; 3.5 hour round. Friendly staff. Good price.

Con: Course was very tight in many places.

Overall: Strange layout. Par 4's are all short. Driver sand wedge. 3 of the 4 par 3's are long. 180 yards plus. The par 5's are all in the low 500 yard area. Generally, the course played shorter than the yardage compared to other courses.

The pace of play at this course, I have played twice, is awful. No ranger or staff to monitor pace. Really ruins a decent course.

Excellent Value

Got a Golf Now Hot Deal for this round. Weather was a bit warm, but otherwise excellent. Played as a two-some teeing off around 1 PM. Employee in pro shop was slightly disinterested and we had to ask for the token for our bucket of balls that came with the coupon. He did ask if we needed the voucher for 2-for-1 drinks though.

Tee Boxes and Fairways in decent shape for Winter. Greens appear not to have been overseeded making them very fast and firm. Fairways are somewhat tight in places which makes for an interesting round for anyone that has accuracy issues. That said, there are not as many water hazards as one would expect in Central Florida. That is made up by the numerous strategically placed bunkers.

We played in less than 3 1/2 hours as a two-some, but on Sunday with a late morning tee time, it took over 5 hours for a four-some.

Worth playing if the greens improve.

An ok course. The fairways were in good shape and the front 9 greens were good. The back 9 were brown, dead and terrible. I hit 8 of the 9 greens on the back and not one ball stayed on. Also, there is really only one hole I would call memorable. Most are pretty straight forward. Looks like the designers first course. Anyway, it was in decent condition (except again for the back 9 greens). I would play here again for a practice round or something if the greens were improved.

Built In the Old Days

This course was built in the ole days, yet it's pretty nice. Be careful on hole #1 because you have to cross in front of the green to get too the tee box on #2, course has a few doglegs that can cause trouble if you don't pick the right distance to hit the ball. Great for beginners or older golfers, walkers too. will play again some day.

Good Turf

Good thick fairway grass make this a nice course for shots from the fairway. Greens are nice with consistent roll. The fairways are tight requiring accurate play. The condition of the overall facility such as the parking area, fences, and tennis courts are unsightly and appear to be neglected with some fencing propped up with poles. The pace of play was very slow. No supervision of the course with rangers or otherwise was visible. I got caught behind a sixsome and nobody acted like that was unusual. My recommendation to others is strictly based on rock bottom green fee pricing.

nice quiet course

Nice course with a great pace. The staff came off rude but besides that everything is was good. The tee boxes could use some work, there was some bare patches in them, fairways are beautiful ,and the greens are somewhat challenging. For less than $20 and got a bucket of practice balls, I cant complain ill definitely play again
