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 6,771-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.

Good course... Great Staff
As long as the price is right its a good play. Greens need work
Semi Private
Lived in Orlando most of my life and always wanted to play it. I'm 67. Got my chance with a buddy from Canada on Golf Now.
Great deal...course played out well and never saw another golfer. Kind of eerie. Middle of the week so who knows why. Regardless...great for us! DEFINATELY want to play again before my buddy goes back to Canada the end of April.
Thanks SCC for a great round and checking it off my course list!!
Sweetwater
The gentleman at the “pro shop” was very pleasant and professional. That is the only positive thing I can say. We played 5 holes and left.
Needs a lot of work
They say there's work coming, but the current condition of the greens and most of the tee boxes is pretty bad. Several tee boxes are completely sand. There are some confusing holes with greens being moved and poor signage.
improving
needs work as does most things in this economy but will come back in a couple
months and see how it has progressed.
Greens and traps need work
Greens overall were pretty good except for a couple with a few bare spots. Sand traps were terrible and no work has been done and no rakes to fix after you are done. A couple tee boxes were all sand. I like the layout, but before you play ask the clubhouse about #6. It used to be Par 3, but after teeing off to what used to be the green we realized the green had been moved back to a place where it was basically unplayable. No one mentioned this when we checked in.
This course has great features
This golf course has a nice layout with varied hole designs. Houses are VERY close to the golf course in spots and the green structures were very inconsistent - turf was dead in a lot of places and very bumpy in spots. But despite the greens, the course was a lot of fun to play.
Good layout
The course is a good layout. Very short but challenging. Greens have rough spots, but are being worked on. Good value fir the money.
Nice Course
The course was in decent shape the greens were a little bumpy and needed work but for the price it was a nice course
Staff was friendly only downside was the gentleman mowing the lawn continued to mow when someone was on the green and the fairways throwing grass and dust on the players!
