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.

Pasture

Better of playing in a goat farm, at least the goats would keep the grass in check. 9 holes twice is terrible when the course is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen it.

Great layout

Short enough for senior players. Still very long from the tips. Water trouble on a couple holes that keep things interesting.

Disappointed

The dropping of the back nine make this course worthless. Good holes are lost. The front nine is too crowded and not worth playing twice. The course attracts hackers and real golffers avoid it.

Fine enough for the money

This will probably the most inexpensive course you will find in the area. The course is not in the best of shape and you play the same 9 holes twice. If you are ok with that, this course is fine for the money. Greens are bumpy with weed patches and lack of daily care. Some really challenging Tee shots and the hole that runs alongside the water skiing course is really cool. Great course for youth and people just out for a casual round.

Pleasant surprise

Not sure what I was expecting but from the YouTube drone video looked pretty good and at a good price. I was looking for a course near Clermont, Florida with a 9 Hole option and Swiss Fairways had just started offering this. Played another course nearby but it needed a lot of work but this place was in good shape does need some additional love but it played well and posed enough of a challenge. Hole 2 has a canal and there were water skiers driving by!! John Crocker, GM and PGA Pro was there at the Pro shop when we arrived and filled us in on the course and some upcoming improvements that they were making. Love this guy, great ambassador to the game and to Swiss Fairways. I will definitely be back. Truly a hidden gem.

Save your money, look elsewhere

Staff pleasant, course in shocking condition, overpriced for state of the course, so under maintained. Would not recommend especially as you have Legends and Kings in the same area. Very disappointing compared to when we played it as a 18 hole course prior to COVID.

Crazy, hostile manager/owner

Stay away from this course. The owner manager threatened me and was way out of control when I asked a question about my reservation. He has a reputation of blowing up and threatening customers unnecessarily.

9 Holes

Swiss Fairways is now a 9 hole / play twice course that has a great layout. Great course for first time players / practice round / or buddy drinking round.

Fun for price, but a shame they closed back 9 down.

There were some good hole layouts on them also.

But for the money - good time out Sunday drinking with buddies…..

Not bad for the price

Being only 9 holes the course gets boring after a few times.

Good beginner course

It's not the best course in the area, but it plays well and is really good for the money. I have played this course several times, and it does have some challenging holes.

Lovely course with massive potential.

The course is one of the prettiest in area, trees, water, wild life...and water skiers!

The cost was lowish...compared to others in area. The course has massive potential but needs work. The tees were ok. Fairways very mixed, some grass and some in decent condition and some in poor condition (mainly weeds). Same goes for the greens...very mixed. The bunkers were in very poor condition...and lots of them!.

Bunkers are costly to maintain...so lose some...grass them over. Also no rakes provided.

Good for beginners

If you're a beginner, good course to learn on. No rakes for sand traps, no amenities so be prepared. Views are great, neat to see the water skying too.
