Sweetwater Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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 challenging holes
Staff was great. course was well maintained and some challenging holes. They need to up date hole layout signs at the tee boxes not all were correct but no big deal great course will be playing it again soon.
Similar to Pebble Creek GC, Kissimmee Bay GC, & Links @ Lake Bernadette GC
11:45 Tee time w/wife & neighbor couple. Course in nice shape. Lush tree lined course, not links style as in their website. Some greens shabby but decent speed. Some hole layouts unsual, driving backwards from green to next tee box. Not worth the $50-$70 they normally charge. Nice to say I played it but probably never will again.
The greens were large and in very good condition.
I enjoyed the course as a whole. The greens were interesting and putted well. The fairways are narrow and require accuracy.
Very good condition
Challenging for both novice and expert. Placement of water and sand traps were such that a bad choice of club could put you in a difficult position to just par. Accurate drives off the tee were necessary as some fairways were narrow. Fairways were in very good condition and greens were somewhat slow. Enjoyable and will play the course again
Overall good value for the money
Need some work on a few of the tee boxes and some greens need a little attention but not so bad that makes it not enjoyable to play.
improved
Last played here about a year ago, not in such great shape.
Greens were in poor condition, fairways so so. Pleasant surprise this time around. Greens and fairways in real good shape.
No Complaints
Greens were in great shape- fast and smooth. I hadn't played at Sweetwater in years, but was happy to play again with the course in such fine conditions. Enjoyed the round very much.
Nice older style Country Club course
The course layout is nice. A little confusing on the first couple of holes. The fairways and greens were in good shape with the greens rolling true at a fair pace.
The tee boxes and cart paths could use some work. Mowed grass was near non-existent on the tee boxes. Several portions of cart paths need to be replaced.
Most of the fairways are tight throughout the course. The back 9 is more interesting than the front in my opinion.
Overall, I'd play it again.
Nice and quiet, but just regular…
A well maintained course, but not really challenging. Some fairways are either narrow with trees aside but also on the fairway. Bunkers are OK; greens are good, but rather slow. Stuff not seen out there, except in the Pro Shop. No special service on course. Overall – it is well playable, clean and proper, but not really “catching”.
Tight Course, but fair.
Tee boxes need attention. Houses are to close to the course..can hear to much activity from back yard events.
Good fun course in lovely setting.
Very good value for money.
Lovely setting and an interesting course, tees were the poorest part of the course. Greens were good and the course is a decent design.
Great value!
The course was in great condition. My partner and I were the only ones on the course.
OK Course
I probably won't go back. It's pretty tight, the fairways have weeds, the greens were slow. There are a lot of mature trees and some holes look cool from the tee box, but overall it felt like I was playing a municipal park course. If you want to practice your game and drink a few beers, go for it.
Sweet Sweetwater
This course is truly a budget priced value. The favility is nothing much and could use updating, but the course itself is outstanding. Some tight fairways and challenging greens.
good course for all ages
Good course for everyone and reasonable green fee.
Narrow
Narrow off the Tee but challenging.Tee areas need work.Getting your club out of the bag is sometimes difficult due to the sand rake in the way,they need to eliminate the rake on the cart,I do not like carrying the rake.
