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.

Read the fine print

It's no longer an 18 hole course. You play the front 9 twice. It's a shame because it was 1 of my favorites!

Going Downhill Fast

Too bad. A well designed layout suffering from a lack of maintenance. Burned out greens, unplayable bunkers and weeds are taking over the fairways. Have played this course last five years and this is the worst it's been. To top it off - you have to play the same nine holes twice (back nine is closed.

Please stop listing this course as being 18 holes. They were forced to close the back 9 holes due to green space equirements. Unfortunately the front 9 holes are not in their best condition. 2 star is currently the most accurate rating.

Only 9 holes

Everything one gets backed up because if you play 18 you pick different tees to play from. Naturally the holes get over used so the course is in bad shape

Sad

We have enjoyed this course time and time again in the past few years. Disappointing to see it lose it's back nine. It is now a 9 hole course to be played twice on different tees to make it 18 holes.

Sad because we also loved the back nine.

On a bright note, they still have those foot long hot dogs. Yum

Still worth playing if the price is right

Not what I expected

We had played Swiss Fairways 2 years ago and enjoyed the layout, even though the conditioning was poor. We’re surprised to find out today that the back nine has been closed since July. It is now a 9 hole track, and, yes conditioning is still poor

If playing the same 9 twice is a problem ; don't go; it just leaves more room for us. Playing same 18 two days in a row is not a problem but playing the same 9 twice is ; does not compute! The course is in more than decent shape and is a true bargain.

I’ve played it in worse shape

Recent over seeding may help greens but sure miss the back nine.
