Rating 72.3

Located just west of downtown Orlando in Clermont, Swiss Fairways Golf Course utilizes the wide open and hilly terrain that is typical for that area, but uncommon throughout the rest of the state. Large greens welcome low handicappers while strategic bunkering is incorporated into the layout to add some challenge. There are over a hundred sand traps in total and 10 water hazards come into play. Swiss Fairways Golf Course has a relaxed, casual atmosphere that is far from the typical country club environment. Although it is relatively unknown, the Swiss Fairways Golf Course will most likely grow in popularity due to its affordable rates and interesting layout.

Nice price, rude marshall

The price, quality, and repeat-9 layout would imply this is a good course for beginners, but the marshall's rude and condescending attitude towards the girls in our group who are still learning, made them never want to golf again. I'm not exaggerating, they really don't. The other staff were fine, just this one guy. Unfortunately it was bad enough that I won't be coming back here, and the girls may not be coming back to any golf course again. Maybe the marshall accomplished his goal.

playing the same nine holes twice from different tees is far from ideal, but still worth playing and great value,

Good Value

I see reviews about staff being unfriendly—-the lady in the pro shop could not have been nicer.

It was a little wet which kept all the fair weather golfers away, consequently it was a most enjoyable round, played in a little under 3 hours.

We will definitely return.

Swiss Roughways

For a course built in the late 1980's, and only 9 holes, I would have expected a better groomed condition. Clubhouse, if that's what you choose to call it, is a trailer. Very little food and beverage products available, yet they prohibit you from bringing your own beverages. Fairways cut down to the roots, and everyone knows tat if you cut the roots out of a growing plant/lawn you get dirt. So, most of the time you were hitting from mud/dirt in the fairway. Rakes were not available for the bunkers, so you had the highest probability of landing your ball in a footprint in the bunker since no one attempts to smooth out their footprints. Greens were thirsty from lack of watering, and needed to be cut and rolled. Also, there were not any signs to direct you to the next tee, especially coming from #5 green to #6 tee. Other golfers, probably members, who were impatient waiting to play their next shot, tried to jump ahead without asking permission even though pace of play was right on time. Our group completed our 18 hole round in 3 hours and 45 minutes. Course management needs to "school" their members in proper golf etiquette.

Swiss Fairways

Nine hole course built in 1989. Does not look like much upgrades have been added or course development since then. Scenic course on large lake with water coming into play on a few holes. Need to erect directional signs for next hole, especially when leaving number 5 green to number 6 tee.

Disappointed

First, the owner who was working the check in desk has a bad attitude and no sense of humor. Won’t return just for that. The lady who answered the phone when I inquired where the 10th tee was gave me a snarky response. No need for that. Back 9 closed for over 2 years! Why?? It’s ridiculous to pay for 18 and play the front 9 twice. Played this course over 2 years ago, all 18 open, driving range and chipping/putting area in good shape. This time that area looked awful. Maybe owner just in it for the money and doesn’t put anything back into the course. Form over some of that cash, open the back 9, redo the driving range and make it a decent course again.

Ain't 18

You play the same holes twice from different tee boxes. Greens better than usual but we have had a lot of rain for this time of year. Mgt never makes you feel welcomed.

Beautiful day. Course in good shape.

Good grass in fairways. Greens rolled smooth. Playing the same nine over usually makes me play better the 2nd nine.
