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.

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.

Never should have closed the back 9

Been playing this course for at least 10 years now. Seen them go through countless owners, and course changes. The most recent owners decision to close the back 9 was the worst yet. This course is not worth playing anymore in my opinion. Maintenance is almost non existent. The cup on hole 8 was overgrown, and looked like it hadn't been changed in at least 2 weeks. Upon finishing our first 9, we headed back to hole 1 to be greeted with 5 groups ahead of us waiting to tee off, as the 18 hole rate forces you to play the front 9 twice, mixing you in with everybody just getting to the course. After waiting about 15 minutes at the first tee and seeing almost no progress on groups moving up, we decided to give up and head home. This course used to be a hidden gem, but unfortunately I'd say it is the last time I will be spending my money here until some serious overhaul is done on the course.

Enjoyable 9 hole course

Enjoyed playing the 9 holes twice being an out of towner. Pace of play was great. The starter gave us great advice about the 2nd hole waiting for the water skiers. Nice layout for a golf course. Bunkers need rakes is the only issue.

Rude owner

I have never been treated so rudely by a course owner. He really doesn't want Golf Now players! Had a 12:46 tee time got there early and were told we couldn't't go out till 5 minutes before our tee time. No one ahead of us on tee box but OK we wait. Supposed to have another 2 golfers with the same tee time. Another couple came out but said their tee time wasn't until 12:54. So finally we teed off. Owner had cart person come and tell us we couldn't tee off yet had to wait for the other 2 Golf Now players. Said our tee time wasn't until 1:02 ( not true had my confirmation on my phone). No one else ever came out so finally the 12:54 tee time joined us and we started to play. No water on course or drink cart. Course also not in very good shape.

Swiss fairways

you have to play the same nine holes twice, but the tees are set really far apart so you can play different tee boxes the second time around and it really does challenge you. The fairways greens and tees are very bright and green and full and the scenery is great!

Barely holding itself together

I don’t know how long it’s been run down like this, but it’s not fun at all. None of the bunkers have rakes, the range is the worst condition I’ve seen a range be and the course isn’t too far off from the range. Wouldn’t recommend unless they change their price to $10 a round being you play the same 9 holes twice. It’s like they’ve given up on the course

Healthy ride from Orlando, thought it was out in the boonies! Good course, well worth the trip and money. Upon leaving, and heading in a different direction back found it wasn't as far from civilization as I thought! They should be booming with players!
