Sweetwater Golf & Country Club
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.

Some fun holes. The front nine was easier than the back. Greens were very slow.
The previous time I golfed here the greens were much faster than this time. They were very shaggy this time. The front nine is quite easy if you can keep your tee shot in the fairway for the first couple holes. The back is tougher with tightness rather than length as the biggest challenge. The fairways were only in fair shape, and the greens were very shaggy - much slower than when I golfed the course a few weeks ago. It was inexpensive to golf this course using golfnow.com.
Fun and Chellanging
the overall course condition was good. The greens were very nice but slow. This is not a bombers course, many par 4s are short but require good shot selection. All of the holes have their own character and are interesting, Most fairways are tree lined which makes them more narrow. Will need to hit accurate shots to score well here. This is a fun course to play and you will get a chance to use most clubs in your bag. I would not recomend for high handicappers. But mid to low handicappers will find the course fun and chellanging.
Uh, Yes you should play here!
I really like this course because of everything. The price from golf now is great. The course is not easy, and not too long or short, but a challenge at just the right distance ( for me anyway ). The greens were recieving maintenance this time, but I know from past experience that they are a tad slow but still really close to great. The only issue here, and always has been, is the tee boxes. And it seems to be getting worse but if you are going to have a bad spot then tee boxes are a better sacrifice than greens and fairways, I would think. So overall it is one of my favorite courses in that area, so, uh, yes you should play here.
Course is in good shape. Greens need a little work
Play was quick. Greens need a little work. The fairways were in good shape.
the course is in excellent condition
Very few players around 11am tee time-we moved very quickly until we caught a fivesome at #11-they let us play thru and we finished in under 3 hours-greems are good-good value
Good Layout
Nice Golf Course ,But only one Problem. The Presence of large amounts of groose Grass on every Green..
Nice older style Florida course with abundant trees.
Course is overall a nice course, and the condition was pretty good. Some of the greens need to be treated to avoid being taken over by a weed/growth that is a slight nuisance right now....but could be a bigger issue in a few months.
The greens are in transition.
I enjoyed the course but the greens had winter grass changing to summer turf, they were slow, the bunkers were not fluffy, hard and firm.
A nice place to be
I enjoyed Sweetwater. It is an interesting layout and fun to play. Most holes are a little tight for me and my driver. Moving up a tee and grabbing my 3 wood solved that. One thing that could use some work is the greens. They were not horrible so I don't want to create a picture in anyone's mind. They just were not as good as they could have been. From one to the next for me the speed varied greatly. Mostly very slow. Just when I got accustomed to the slow greens they threw in a very fast one to keep my on my toes. Not a big fan of that.
Nice Day At Sweetwater Oaks
This is a fun course with surprising rolling terrain. Some of the greens have problems with patchy spots and some of the fairways are thin on grass but overall conditions are acceptable. The staff is EXCELLENT !! Very friendly...no "golf snobs" at Sweetwater Oaks.
Fun for the money...
Sweetwater is in pretty good shape, greens running at good speed but a little bumpy because of weed patches. All in all a good experience but why can't guests get the codes for bathrooms on the course?
Sweetwater CC Review
Course was nice once we were able to get a cart and get started. Tee time was 12:45 and we couldn't tee off untill almost 1:30. Greens need attention as they were full of grass patches that caused putting issues. Yardages were not very accurate on the Par 3's.
First time ever playing this short track just under 6300 found that it has it challenges
This track is a great experience and fun to play I wasn't on my best game. This track is in great shape with the exception of some of the greens they have some over growth. If you are one that like short par 3s this isn't the place.
Nice course
This course was in pretty good shape. The fairways were decent. The greens were a little slow with some weeds present. Some of the holes are tight. I didn't hit driver on most tee boxes. All in all good value for what we payed.
good condition of all green
all green are good condition .but should some power cart road should repair
Tight course, not a bad track
Accuracy off the tee is key here. If not you will be losing balls in backyards. A lot of homes were surprisingly close to greens and teeboxes. Teeboxes require attention here as many were sandy and sloping. Course has some very nice holes. Some greens were good, others were less than average. With a hot deal the value was great though, would like to try it again.
Course is interesting for any level of play
Overall, the course was in good shape.
Some tee boxes could use some work
nice course needs rain to help cond
nice course but bring your GPS not correct distance on score card or cement markers. it was sun afernoon and pace of play was very slow.
Sweetwater is an awesome golf course!
I live in Errol Estates and prefer Sweetwater Gold course over Errol. The conditions are in excellent condition, the price is great! However, one complaint is wayfinding, more signs should be present for finding the back nine, only for the people who have never golfed on this course before.
Fair for the money.
Somewhat tight off the tee. Emphasis off the tee accuracy. Sand traps and bunkers could be improved (had rocks in them). Watch out for the fire ants. Greens were better than average.
