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.

Unique setup

This course was unique in the respect that it's really only nine holes that you play twice from different tee boxes. The reason I came back is this Course is set up so nicely looks like a championship course. Conditions were really good. I played it just before hurricane so there was nobody else on the course, weather was perfect.

Can you even consider this a gold course?

1)greens were horrible

2)no back nine

3)sell as 18hole course when there's only 9

4)one par 3 had makeshift green made of dirt.

5)bunkers overgrown with weeds

Still a descent layout. Management still sucks

Worth playing for the price. Play one set of tees for the front nine and another for the back. Either way you will get a workout.

To Bad

Swiss Fairways is still fun and a challenge even though it is only 9 holes. I only play it when there is a low rate on Golf Now. Work on the 8th hole is progressing nicely and will be ready for the " snowbirds"

It is what it is!!!

It is still a good layout for the average golfer. Back to the original 9 holes which was a good layout way back when. Egos appear to have gotten in the way. Too bad!!!

9 Holes Only

We were never told by the General Manager that the back nine was permanently closed and we had to play the front nine twice. Greens were loaded with weeds and were very bumpy and slow. Overall, not a good experience, stay away!

Not Great

Went out to play a round for the first time in about 10 years since moving to the area. Was disappointed to hear the entire back 9 are not available so you have to play the same 9 twice. That would've been manageable if the course was in better condition. The fairways were dead and greens looked like they hadn't been touched in some time. My buddy and I checked in at 8:50am for our 9am tee time and were told the other pair we were matched with were already waiting for us at the tee box. We said thank you, got the key to the cart, and drove over to load up when the attendant in the shop came out and yelled across the parking lot that the pair was waiting on us...still 5 full minutes before our tee time. The only positive thing was the rate of play, but that was probably due to low attendance (rightfully so). If you're in the area just spend a bit extra and go to King's Ridge you won't regret it.

No happy at all

I never was notified that this course was only 9 holes to be played twice because the back nine had been close for more than a year.

18 hole listing, but only 9 holes.

You pay for 18 holes & have to play front 9 twice as the back 9 is closed. Also holes on some of the greens. Will not play their again.

Good fun practice

The course was not busy because of rain and the snow are gone so the pace of play was smooth.

The greens are ok only one with mold and not bad either. The course only has 9 holes to play so you have it twice, I really miss the back 9 it was scenic

Just sad another good layout bites the dust due to financial hardships....the back 9 being shut down sucks but it is what it is. Unfortunately, I'll probably never go back. Course was in rough shape, greens hardpan along with fairways......bunkers not taken care of.......sad.

Time to die

Great layout. Down to 9 holes. Not good condition at all. List several balls just feet from the fairway/green. With the current economy this will be first to go away
