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 course for cost......

Absolutely love Swiss Fairways Golf Club. Definitely 100% one of those must play courses in area. Great course for cost, fun layout but some challenging shots needed. Great layout for seasoned players and first time players.

Great use of space - over water shots are tricky but fun.

Improvement Suggestions

- Adding distance markers would be helpful. (ex:150 yard poles, distances on sprinklers...)

- Conditions of greens and sand traps could be improved

Great course in nice overall condition. A couple of greens starting to get iffy on the edges. Nothing to effect anything while playing. Oace was great 315 for a 4some. Prices in pro shop are great also. Just another hidden gem.

cart issues

For the third time I arrived at the course to find they had a shotgun start earlier in the day and we had to wait until they were done before we could start. The course is fine but the staff aren't exactly honest dealing with the delay. We were told they were waiting for carts, and we pointed out that there was carts outside and available. Then they said they were waiting for the shotgun to finish. Our actual tee time when we teed off was 15 minutes late. Like I said this is the 3rd occurrence of this.

Great greens, fairways nice too.

It’s a great course for its value will definitely challenge you with your irons at times but if you’re a long ball hitter even from the tips this course is a little short. Overall a fun course.

Ski paradise

The course was in above average shape when compared to other area courses. Good tee boxes and fairways. Greens rolled smoothly. Hadn’t played the course for quite some time and conditions were much improved. Interesting layout ; had a great day for a fair price.

Best bang for the buck...

I remember using this course to practice irons because your ball needed 4-wheeled drive to get to the cup because the greens were so bad. They've really done a gr8 job getting into shape and keeping it that way the last couple years. Love the layout and its fun for all skill levels. Best bang for the buck in Central FL - BAR NONE!

Usually great but...

I have really enjoyed playing this course throughout the winter and spring, but In the past weeks I've noticed that the greens are burnt and thinning out on some of them. I would really hate for how much they have done to get this course in shape, go to waste. I hope there is a plan to get the greens back in shape because this is one of my favorite courses in the area. If something isn't done soon, there are a few greens that are on the verge of being lost. Other than that it's a great track.

staff

i was 20 minutes early, lady behind counter told me I needed to wait for a two some, I said no one is on tee is it ok to go, she said NO, you got a reduce price through golf now so you need to wait. I would understand if busy but there is no reason she could smile and say go ahead. Well I got news for Swiss Fairways, I golf 3 or 4 times a week, all year round, I will not go back to that course,, she will not be able to ever tell me no again
