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!

I really wasn’t expecting much for the price. But this course turned out to be a great course worth twice what we paid to play. Couple of really challenging holes. I highly recommend the scores to anyone in the Orlando area.

Does not practice safety protocols

This place does not practice safety protocols put in place do to COVID. It seems like the JERK of an owner cares more about getting as many golfers on the course then the safety of everyone. I will find out who I can report this to!

Absolutely terrible customer service

I was trying this course for the first time and I could not have been more disappointed in the customer service provided. The so called owner is rude and disrespectful and has no business running the show. I can’t say to many things negative about the course itself, but just dealing with the owner was enough to make me never go back. He was so terrible that I even turned down a rain check to go back and play again. I wouldn’t play there for free! I didn’t want to believe what people had told me about this course so I tried it anyway, but everyone was right about how they treat their paying customers.

Course in good shape

The reviews were correct - the course has significantly improved since the last time I played it and for the price you can't beat it. There is zero recognition of Covid but wore my mask and kept my distance while in the pro shop. Overall a great day.

No Food or Drink

The 10th tee no where near clubhouse. Can’t stop to Pee or get refreshments and not a single place on course to get food or drink during round. No cart people out anywhere.

Course is ok but for the price is great! Nice layout and playing from the tips (blues) all par 3 are 200 plus and par 5 at 608!

Good challenge for average golfers.

Renovations and upgrades

The course has done a facelift and it’s now a great place to play. Just don’t use Golfnow hot deals the people there do not like hot deals. They dumped a kid in our group on the 4th hole and said he’s playing with you. Now in COVID-19 times why didn’t they send him on his own cart? This poor young man lost over 2 dozen balls yes 2 dozen. Our other player stuck riding with him spent more time searching for balls in the woods than being able to enjoy his game. For that reason i give the staff 3 stars because it’s Christmas or I would give the staff 1 star and say everyone is a paying customer in one way or another so treat everyone like you value them

Owner is a Jerk

Had the worst customer experience with the Owner today. Booked a tee time on golf now and they are making you pair up on golf carts with strangers. Saw that on the website but figured they would let me walk. Easy course to walk. Not sure they realize what’s going on in this world right now. I am a former college golfer and scratch golfer. I would have no problem staying ahead of the group. Owner says we are not a walking golf course. Can’t even talk about course conditions because I left after that. Was in the golf business for 8 years and I have never seen an owner act the way he did. Just trying to get out there and support golf courses and that’s the way I was treated. They had 40 carts waiting sitting out and only 15 cars in the parking lot. Owner said they were going to have tons of playing the afternoon. That would have to have 160 golfers to run out of carts. My time was at 11:30. No chance he was using 40 carts the rest of the day. As I was walking to my car screams out loud in the parking lot I don’t care if he leaves it was a golf now deal anyway. This owner is something else.

AWESOME COURSE AND EVEN BETTER STAFF

Man, I can't say enough about our experience at Swiss Fairways. My five buddies and i showed up in the morning after a night of drinking (it was my wedding weekend) a few minutes late and they were so accommodating I was so shocked. We expressed how we wanted to be together so they had us start off on the back 9 so we weren't holding up the golfers behind us. After we played the back 9 (our first) we stopped in and grabbed the philly cheese steaks and they did not disappoint.

The course was in great condition and I would definitely be coming back soon to play again.

Thank you Swiss Fairways so much for making my wedding weekend that much better.

Swiss Fairways Improved!

This course has seen some really good improvement over the last several months since we last played it. Newly improved driving range and putting green, along with better maintenance of greens and fairways make this course an enjoyable challenge.

Our group looks forward to getting out to this course again soon!
