Swiss Fairways Golf 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!

After the weather forecast had said the day was going to be a washout, I was looking for a course to play on short notice. There are a lot of them in the area, if you're willing to plop down snowbird/spring break season money (and yes, our gas prices went up by 30 cents per gallon so we could put the squeeze on the spring break crowd). Being pretty out of the way, this course stayed under $40.

It's a fun layout, but...doesn't really offer the opportunity to pick tees of appropriate length the way they are doing things. I was told the front was Gold, and the back was White for a 5500 yard course (a little short, but not bad for me being an older/shorter hitter). The Gold version of the second hole played 145, all of it carry over water. I can play that. On the White side it was 175. I was 2 or 3 yards short (and not even a bright green ball will ever be seen again in this water). For a lot of older guys the only club that will carry this is going to be a driver. The skiers in the water are an added distraction. My only other issue with the course was the lack of rakes for the bunkers. I know most folks don't rake bunkers, but, when I'm in one, I try to rake mine and someone else's, so having no rake at all was frustrating.

It's a fun course, and better kept than I feared (the tee boxes are in much better shape than other courses at this price point in the area). Only number 2 and number 9 are a bit "tricked" up (9 has a huge live oak that basically blocks the approach to the green below 90 feet).

I would play here again if it weren't an hour from the house...during other seasons, there are just too many courses to drive past.

The last time I played this course was over 20 years ago. I was interested in seeing its condition after these years. For the price, it was a great experience. This is a 9 holes course that you play it twice from a different tee, this made it interesting and felt like you are playing different holes the second time around. The greens were fuzzy, it seemed that they did not cut it that day, it was difficult to get used to it. The experience was not bad. The course has its charm with the ski school and their practice activity. I will not invite my friends to play there, the course is 23 miles away from my house and I am the closest to it by 25 miles, but I do not mind going there again if I am playing by myself and looking for something different at a good price. I had fun playing there even though I did not score well.

No water to drink on the course, no drink cart, no warning signs!! It hit 91 and we we had to stop playing to go get a drink.

You play 9 holes relatively short. Then, if you like, the same 9 from different tees. 130 yard par 3's become 185 yard par 3's. Some par 4's on the first nine are par 5's on the back.

SF is a little scrappy. Different parts could be better maintained, but there's sand in the bunkers, and mowed grass on the fairways. The greens are a bit slower but roll true.

At +-$30 for 18 with a cart, it's a good course to smack it around or sharpen your game without losing every ball in the bag.

Great people! We got matched up with 2 awesome people. Greens were a little rough but to be expected it is still winter.

Thank you for a great day

Old man needs to treat female golfers with a little more respect and lay off the sexist attitude. Very offended and will not return until you all learn some respect and courtesy. I almost throttled him, he embarrassed me and my friends. For all women golfers make sure you drag a male with you otherwise get ready for the "ATTITUDE". Definitely a "good ole boys club. Choose your courses carefully.

When booking tee time, there was no information that this is now a 9-hole course! This would have been useful information to have when booking!

Challenging course in good shape. Nice greens

Recommend at least one round, 9 holes and you pick the tees.
