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.

Good place to practice

It only cost me $17 to play so no complaints. The people in the golf shop are super friendly and it has a down home vibe. It’s a bummer that they sold the back 9 because it was the better of the 2 nines. The course needs a lot of work but they need to mow the fairways on a regular basis. The layout is solid and if someone came in to invest some money then it could be a very solid course.

Miss the old days

It’s a shame what’s come of Swiss Fairways. It used to be one of my favorite courses. After losing the back nine. It seems as if management has just given up. Majority of the greens were in bad condition and extremely long. Fairways were a little better. But that’s not saying much. Hopefully they’ll get it under control, because I do still like the layout.

Honest review

Hot deal: $20

Range balls: $10 bag

Drinks: $2.50 each

First when we arrived we’re told that next time if we book a hot deal we can’t check in earlier than 15 mins before tee time this and the other…. Mind you the place is empty and we were going to the range. Then we are hit with the if you book hot deals expect to be paired up no matter what moving on….. if you don’t want people booking hot deals then don’t be on GolfNow.

Second, the greens at this point are just a joke I don’t think anybody is truly taking care of this course other than the usual grass cutting. We’ve been here multiple times and today is probably my last time coming to this course even at $20!

This isn’t a case of they need rain, this has been the case for a long time and once again nobody really cares for it so you have a crazy amount of divots all over fairways, marks on greens and just a decent place not cared for.

Perfect Learning Course

I’ve golfed here more times than I can count and I always will. For the price, you really can’t complain for what you get. Although the greens were absolutely terrible, the fairways were great and for $23 you get what you pay for. Love the course, learned how to golf here, I’ll always come back.

course in decline

Now only a 9hole course with different teeing areas for playing the back 9

You would think that by no longer having to maintain 18 holes that the conditions on the remaining 9 would be in good condition this is not the case all areas of the course are in need of attention

I wonder if the course is being run down and closure is imminent

Great value

If you play Central Florida courses and have a limited budget for the pastime as a casual player, you could do much worse than this course. More grass than many of the courses in this price range. Layout has plenty of water and sand to provide a challenge for us seniors. I’m sure I will be returning in the future.
