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.

Great layout but terrible maintenance

I love the design of this course but management lacks concern for proper golf maintenance and upkeep. I would certainly play it more often if course conditions were better.

Love this course

Love this course even though it was reduced to 9 holes and playing it twice at different tees.

The whole course was in terrific condition and the greens were good as well.

I'm sad that we can't play the back nine I really did well playing the back.

Not bad for a newbie or on cource training

I played this course a few years ago and it was ruff back then. so i was very surprised to see the green in very good shape however the course does not have 18 holes only 9 so you have to play the course twice. I guess the reason i was a little turned off was because i didn't know this nor was i told.

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.
