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.

Hot Headed Owner/Manager

What began with me questioning the pairings that the owner/representative assigned me led to the same individual becoming enraged, threatening, and way out of control.

After I questioned the owner/manager in a civil manner, he started cursing, using every 4-letter word and more that comes to mind. He pointed his finger at me while ranting about me not understanding the hot deal that I paid for. It was very unnecessary and out of bounds.

When I asked him to stop his rant and finger pointing, he ran from behind the desk and came around to point his finger in my face. I told him to back off before he got hurt.

No matter the disagreement, this individual had no right to threaten me, and I could have pressed charges on him.

This so called business is being run by a NUT.. I will avoid and am advising others to do the same.

I had the same experience there last year. The guy is deranged. No wonder this will be the next course to go under. Only hope is change of ownership.

A little disappointed

I had played this course 2 years ago and loved it when it was an 18 hole course. I did not know it had changed to a 9 hole course that you play twice from 2 different tee boxes to make your 18. So a little disappointed when I played this time. It is still a nice place to play. Watch out for water skiers on hole 2.

Course was in the best condition prior to the change from 18 holes to 9. It is disappointing that it is only a nine hole layout, we miss the back nine.

There are only 9 holes that you play twice. The course used to be 19 holes. Fairways and greens were not in very good condition.

Still fun to play

Losing the back nine is a shame but life goes on. I am assuming that mess cannot be rectified.

Great place when you need that last minute place

Advertised and sold as 18 holes it's a 9 hole you play twice. You must team up with others and share a cart with strangers even when there's 4 total people playing. So you pay for 18 and a cart and you get a decent 9 hole and half a cart.

Terrible employee

Aweful mannerism and unprofessional. Wanted to explain how he makes no money off of golf now even though the course was destroyed, rough, and soggy. Would recommend no one going there. Also, only 9 holes even though it’s labeled as 18.

Still Fun

Wish it was still an 18-hole course, but that is life. Grass will be going dormant soon. Hope it makes it through that and the snowbirds.

Course looks pretty good, is wet and soft in a few spots. Don't know if they can afford to overseed this year.

Attitude hasn't changed!!!!

Don’t book hot deal unless you want to be lectured

Apparently whoever is running the course is not happy with the amount of money he gets for hot deals so he needs to complain to the customers who book the hot deals. Change the prices if you are not happy with the amount of money you get a good idea would be to change ge the price.
