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.

Course was fun. Experience not so much.

Had fun playing the course but after my round, the owner decided to make it clear that he doesn’t value the business of people that book their tee times through Golf Now. He was very confrontational about my tee time and pairing. Mind you, there were maybe 4 people on the golf course. I tend to not write reviews, especially negative ones because I recognize that everyone can have a rough day but this was something different. I’ve been playing golf for 30 years and never had a negative experience with golf staff or other players but the owner here just decided to be inappropriately aggressive towards any complaints. I recognize the course is inexpensive and I’m playing on a budget but to be told my business doesn’t matter and that I’m too “poor” to pay regular rates so I shouldn’t be welcome is just completely unkind. The course conditions are not good but I could care less about that. It’s a fun layout and a cool spot to get in some practice but I won’t be returning after the lack of not only Guest service but more so the lack of common person to person courtesy.

Bad course

The fairways were not cut. It was like playing out of the rough. The greens were basically dirt and weeds. Wish there was information available before hand that the sprinkler system has been broke for 3 weeks. So I could decide whether or not I want to play there.

Good place to practice

It only cost me $17 to play so no complaints. The people in the golf shop are super friendly and it has a down home vibe. It’s a bummer that they sold the back 9 because it was the better of the 2 nines. The course needs a lot of work but they need to mow the fairways on a regular basis. The layout is solid and if someone came in to invest some money then it could be a very solid course.

Miss the old days

It’s a shame what’s come of Swiss Fairways. It used to be one of my favorite courses. After losing the back nine. It seems as if management has just given up. Majority of the greens were in bad condition and extremely long. Fairways were a little better. But that’s not saying much. Hopefully they’ll get it under control, because I do still like the layout.

Honest review

Hot deal: $20

Range balls: $10 bag

Drinks: $2.50 each

First when we arrived we’re told that next time if we book a hot deal we can’t check in earlier than 15 mins before tee time this and the other…. Mind you the place is empty and we were going to the range. Then we are hit with the if you book hot deals expect to be paired up no matter what moving on….. if you don’t want people booking hot deals then don’t be on GolfNow.

Second, the greens at this point are just a joke I don’t think anybody is truly taking care of this course other than the usual grass cutting. We’ve been here multiple times and today is probably my last time coming to this course even at $20!

This isn’t a case of they need rain, this has been the case for a long time and once again nobody really cares for it so you have a crazy amount of divots all over fairways, marks on greens and just a decent place not cared for.

Perfect Learning Course

I’ve golfed here more times than I can count and I always will. For the price, you really can’t complain for what you get. Although the greens were absolutely terrible, the fairways were great and for $23 you get what you pay for. Love the course, learned how to golf here, I’ll always come back.
