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 day

Wonderful day on the course. Course in great shape. Different from many of the courses around Orlando area. Just have to watch out for the water skiers. I will play this course at least once every time I am in town.

It's beens over 2 years......Part 6

I keep getting this request for a review, this is the 6th time and it's getting very annoying. I posted aa review already, here it is......

...."this is the 4th time GOLFNOW is asking me how was our golf day.....I answered the first time. Here's my review posted on SWISS..... SHASHI60 It's beens over 2 years...... 02/24/2021 - Verified Purchase Handicap: 15-19 Plays: A few times a week Recommend since we've played at Swiss. The last time was terrible, course was overgrown, firways were "holey', we did not enjoy so we left. The 6th hole was the worst. Read reviews that said the course has changed, improved and under new management. jToday, we were pleasantly surprised, the course looked really great!! The Tee boxes had no weeds, the fairways were so green and actually nice to look at. We enjoyed playing today and will be back."

Beware

Booked hot deal 715am, showed up at 700am, was told I would have to wait to go out at 830am with a shotgun group of 60 players, all are over 55 years old. Pace was very slow. Greens are 6/10 shape. Pro shop is a trailer that smells like wet dog, looks like they let the family per roam around the property. Save your money and go to Kings Ridge.

Green's aunties were in excellent condition and I would say fairways and bunkers were in good condition. I can't put this course up there with mission inn because the layout is subservient to the ski resort it was built around by the overall management of the course is excellent.

Big Difference

I played this course 2 years ago it was a dog track from 1-18.I said i would never play it again because tee boxes were filled with weeds and fairways look like they had never been watered in months.I recently read reviews saying how course was in good condition.I booked a tee time on a Saturday for 2 pm for 24 bucks.Let me tell you this course has done a complete 360.Greens are some of the best in central florida.I have played at Ritz Carlton and Swiss Fairways greens are not to far behind.The Fairways were in above average.My spring this course should be a beauty.Whatever management is doing to this course keep the good work.

We liked it!

Reviews have always been mediocre on this course, but recently had gotten much better so we checked it out. Check-in process was odd (had to wait for some unknown reason), but once we got on the course, we liked it. Greens are good, bunkers are good but no rakes for some reason, carts were very good. Prepare to wait on the second hole, a par 3 over water, but after that pace of play was good. Fortunately we played with someone who knew the course, at times it was difficult to tell where you should be going. New owner has definitely put some big money in, and it should get even better. Bonus, you can see some intense water skiing while you're there. Give this a try, I think you'll enjoy it.
