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 6,771-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.

Can Do Better
Course was decent enough for the price. Some tee box marker positions were not consistent and some just did not make sense.
In the morning the club house did not sell coffee and also it does not sell gold balls. We did not see tees or golf gloves for purchase either.
Poor conditions
Unless you get a hot deal not worth it.
Virtually no fairways.
Tee boxes are in rough condition.
Greens are hard fast and in pretty poor condition as well.
been awhile
It has been over 10 years since I played here...now being on Golfnow caused me to try it again...course was in good shape...people friendly...a lot of really old golfers moving quite slow but okay...they only have 40 golf carts so even though I got out on time...had to wait to get a returning cart...this was a Monday so weekends might be an issue. My round trip drive is over 2 hours on surface streets so probably won't play here regularly but would if it was closer
Horrible first 9 halls and good last 9 halls
Staff, Devon was very friendly. But the fist 9 halls look retrofitted into residential area and horrible layout. The last 9 halls look decent golf course
In rough Condition!
First time there and have to say, don’t think I’ll be back. Fairways are patchy and very dry and a rough ride. Greens are a mix of grass and dirt and open spots. There are some good greens on the course. Have to also say I’m surprised at the gas golf carts. I would think that the residents would complain of the noise in a quiet neighborhood. Pace of play was terrible. Teed off before eleven and finished over 4 hours later. Just 2 in our group. But a day on the course is better than any day at work.
Do not play here
I am very disappointed that based on recent review, i booked for 3 to have good time.The course is in its worst condition, not single green/fairway is in decent condition. Felt that we are playing on ground covered with dead grass or sand or dirt through out. Please do not waste your money and tim. I am being honest with my review. Only good thing is the Club House, looks like a new one.
Course markings
Course has a unique hole layout. No signage to the next tee. Drove past the 2nd 7th tee boxes. If not for other golfers in near by fairways we would’ve missed 2 holes. Plus gate was locked to clubhouse entrance. No key pad or intercom. Had to wait for someone to drive by. Not worth the 54 bucks for the extra agrivation
Course needs work/No practice facilities
I played Sweetwater for the first time as I booked with a Hot Deal. Read some of the reviews saying the course had improved. The course must have been even worse if this is improved. The fairways are thin with not much Bermuda grass & a lot of mowed down weeds Most always a thin lie in the fairway. Greens were ok but some had bare spots. Pace was good until we caught up to a very slow group ahead In addition, to my surprise the course has no driving range or a practice putting green. I thought I would give this course a try but once is enough for me as I will not be returning
Only good thing about this course was the beautiful cart girl
This was my first time playing a country club. I don’t think I will again until my 60s. I got sandwiched between two groups of 4 at a course that has never heard about pace of play. Constantly watching 4 guys tee off and then having 4 watch me tee off. Fairways were not the tightest but had houses on the right and the left. Not in great shape. Greens were half decent. Only positive on the day was my brief interaction with the stunningly gorgeous cart girl. If you’re looking to get in a quick 9, this course is not the move.
