About

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.

Over booked / rude disrespectful staff

After having played this course for 6 years and having fun, we had our worst experience ever on a golf course. Having gone from an 18 hole course to a nine hole course using different tees to give an 18 hole feel, this course has not figured out how to book groups so that those on the turn don’t run into those playing first 9. When confronting this situation, the manager/owner totally lost control, using inappropriate language, shaking the golf cart, and we were treated with total disrespect. We will not be returning.

Great layout

I found the 9 holes very challenging. The greens are small and roll well.

Do not recommend

If I could give zero stars, I would. 10/10 do NOT recommend. Don't waste your time or money here. Rude, unprofessional and unwelcoming staff who acts like their course is up to par with Bella Collina.

Me and my husband's tee time was 0934, we were paired with another couple and spent 7 minutes on the first hole (with 4 golfers) to be told by the ranger that we "needed to speed it up" and just "throw the ball onto the green" after each of us hitting twice.

Unfortunately for them, they were backed up with 10 carts full of people waiting to tee off, as you're able to book tee times EVERY TWO minutes at this course, haha.

After asking for a refund and explaining the rude encounter with the ranger to the pro golf manager, he laughed and told my husband to get out of the club.

Beautiful course, but you have to replay front 9

Only 9 holes, so you have to replay front 9. That being said, it was a beautiful 9!

Paid for 18 it’s actually a 9 hole course

First 9 holes played in 1 1/2 hours. Then the next 9 would have taken 4 hours. Two groups waiting on #2 hole a par three. CRAZY SLOW. Left after the first hole on the second nine.

9 hole course

I was a 18 hole course. Found out there was a dispute in court and they lost so had to close the back nine. Nobody wins in this. The people who won the lawsuit cannot do anything with the land and the golf course loses 9 holes. Shame that happens but the front nine is definitely worth playing 2 times. The par 3 over the canal is very cool. Sometime you have to wait for the boat pulling the skiers on the water.

Owner doesn’t advise anybody that you have to play the front 9 twice to get the 18 holes. Luckily I read the reviews beforehand.

Swiss Water

Disappointed that this was advertised as an 18 hole course but is a 9-hole course. The 9-holes are good but because 9-holes were eliminated the layout of course is not good with putting green and range away from the 9-holes. Interesting that on the second hole we had to wait for water skiers before hitting our tee shots over the water to the par-3. I'm glad I played with a Hot Deal. I would have been disappointed paying full price for 9-hole course that is slightly above average in conditions.

Will be back.

Clean fairways, challenging greens, wonderful staff, and some very good boys in the clubhouse. Wish they still had the back 9, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first time playing this course. Will absolutely be back.
