Sweetwater Golf & Country Club

Greens and fairway is in great shape. Played only eight hole then rain rain rain.

Course held up well even though rain came and went.

Hello, I am writting this review because I love sweet water but there staff is absolutely horrible. The part time golf cart assistants are rude and so are the pro shop workers. When me and my father were playing 18 holes we had one of the golf cart boys harass us about being to close to greens with are golf cart. This very rude employee named Connor accosted us by saying "you guys were to close to the greens and if i see you again that close your out of here!". I was shocked here is this juvenile harassing me and my father about being to close and decided to say it on the following hole! Sweet water fix your staff or I am afraid you are going to lose all your customers. also tell your employees to learn some customer service skills!

Like many courses that wind through a neighborhood, Sweetwater has fairly narrow fairways on most holes, which accounts for the degree of difficulty. Most of the fairways and greens are in very nice condition. There are not too many water holes, and I lost only 2 balls during the round.
There are some very pretty holes, with some hills involved. Another challenge comes in the form of many trees that make placement of shots critical in order to have clear green approaches. I played particularly poorly, but would still like to try this course again.

Tight fairways on some holes. The fairways all in good shape as were all but one green.

Booked through Golf Now and got a ridiculous $14 rate at 1:00 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Fairways were a bit shaky but as long as you don't mind playing winter rules it's nothing you can't deal with with. Greens were in absolutely awesome shape, not the speediest but were firm and rolled true. 17's green is in some rough shape but the rest were all outstanding. Played as a threesome and played in about 3:15 in the middle of the afternoon. Facilities are outdated but if you're looking at it from a golf standpoint it's just fine. Not the longest golf course in Central Florida but you'll need to hit it straight to play well. Many of the par 3's are quite long but 4's and 5's are short to average length. Enjoyed the day and hopefully they can get the fairways under control and we'll give it another try in a few months.

The greens were very nice and the speed was decent. Fairways were good for the most part. A couple of tee boxes were under repair. But overall I would rate the course as a 4.5. I have always liked the layout. Fun day.

The greens are in excellent condition but the fairways are a little sparce and patchy. Winter was not kind to this course.

For someone that doesn't play often (visiting from NJ), this course was great for someone like me. My shots can become erratic but the course is forgiving even though some fairways are narrower than I like but it's not about me. Actually, it helps me focus more knowing I don't have too much room to work with. With the exception of 1 hole, the greens were well maintained. I can't say if there are too many traps but I seemed to find quite a few. Last but not least, the staff was very friendly and professional. Regardless of how I played, I enjoyed my time here and would definitely play here again.

Course was in good condition.

Pace of play was BRUTALLY slow.

2 fivesomes in front of us(members)

course was recently private and now I think some members may not like the general public invading their course.

the greens on 17 and 12 were burnt from fertilizer but still rolled well and very playable. I really like the fact that you can walk the course and most of the tee boxes are close other than 2 and 10 you have a walk for the tee box but other than that all is our close.

Upscale facilities that play to all types of golfers. Well maintained with friendly personnel.

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.

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.

Overall good round. Great price for a above average course

played on a wednesday around 11 am, nice and quiet. greens and fairways in good shape, however, some bare spots on edge of fairways, a couple of places could use some tree trimming.

Many trees narrow fairways.some crossing fairway so horn on cart good safety measure

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 manicure of the course is above average. Greens and fairways in good condition. Staff friendly and professional. Good value .

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.
