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.

Great improvements

This course has invested in themselves and it shows. From redoing some greens to having a new club house the effort shows. It’s a fantastic value for the condition as well. Would recommend this course to anyone at anytime.

Whewww it’s a challenge!

This is a tough course! Narrow and long. I played the blues and ot was a challenge simply because it’s so narrow and trouble lurks all around you. To be great here definitely work on your all around game. The greens were pretty decent and I felt like ran true. Few patchy spots. The gentleman in the Proshop was very nice and extremely helpful. They are working on the Proshop so it’s small with not a lot at all. The fairways are decent a little high on the sides but not bad. The layout to me was tough along with the tight fairways etc. I recommend this course, try it you will love it!

A Gem in Progress

I read some reviews before booking Sat 10/19. Wasn’t sure what to expect but it was clear the course is not in the best of condition. However, the club pro “Kevin” drove by and was getting input on thoughts of the course after the first 9. They made it clear there is a goal and vision to get this course back on track. Their priority being the greens. The things that stood out to me were a week after Hurricane Milton there was still a lot of debris and the rough definitely needs some TLC. The back 9 is much more fun the. The front 9. Hoping to play again in a month and see how far it’s come.

Hit them fairways

Off the fairways the grass is overgrown and it’s easy to lose your ball. Other than that it’s a decent course.

Good time, great value!

Very nice course; plenty of decisions to make. A senior, I played the gold tees and they were just right. Recent weather conditions had some effect on the course (Hurricane Milton!) but not much.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the main reaon for my recommendation. They are great!

If I had one nit to pick it would be signage. I had some difficulty finding my way around and, with no one to follow, it got confusing at times. But, I'm going back and I expect improved navigation on my part. Play on!

Course needs work

Greens in bad shape. Trees branches blocking some fairways. New layout on hole 6 is horrible. Course needs a lot of TLC

Confusion on 6

The course change of hole #6 from a par 3 to a par 4 has players leaving the green to go backwards to the tee boxes on hole 7. With players on the #7 tee it can be a challenge. Most of the greens were in good shape, the fairways and tee boxes show a great improvement since my previous rounds. Cart beverage service is a plus in the summer heat!

Will not play here again.

There was not one redeeming quality that I can emphasize except for maybe the fact I wasn’t out too much money for playing here.

No driving range. No putting green. Chipping area only on the side of a hill.

Tee boxes were overgrown with weeds.

Fairways resembled most other courses first cut of rough.

Greens had weeds, bare spots, divots and even if you could find a clean line were so slow that even downhill putts wouldn’t make it to the hole unless you blasted it.

Not great

The whole back nine they kept the sprinklers on. I got doused by water any time I’d go to putt. I know the grounds workers are doing their jobs, but they were in the way often where I’d have to slow down and wait for them to finish up. Grass is treated well and it’s nice to putt and play on but the course layout is weird and hard to figure out with no map. Probably never playing here again even though it’s the closest to my house.

Getting better everyday

Getting better everyday. All the rain we have had the last two months has done wonders for the course. The restaurant is said to be opening soon in the clubhouse. Amazing layout. Cart girl on the weekends. I usually have the place to myself in the afternoons. Great value as well. See you there.

Course improving

Great layout and greens are recovering nicely. A few more weeks, a mow and roll and they should be much better.
