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.

Bad Day at Swiss Fairways

We were hollered at by the Manager because we arrived at 10:30 for a 11:10 tee time. We were not allowed to check in nor have access to a cart - none were available. We were told we could not check in until after 11:00. Another group arrived and were checked in for an 11:06 time that was not on schedule,, given carts, and we were continued to be told we could not check in until our tee time at 11.10. Manager told us we could leave since we were HOT DEAL patrons. He did not care. Bad experience and we have been playing there for years. NEVER again.

Thank you for taking the time to review Swiss Fairways. We are sorry to hear you may have had a negative experience with any individual on our staff. This is not acceptable and by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We welcome any further feedback as to why you gave 1 star and what we can do to improve. If you have any questions regarding your GolfNow reservations or policies in the future, please do not hesitate to contact 1 (800) 767-3574.

Great Value

I've been playing this course for the past 10 years and this is the best it's been in a long time. The current management has put a lot of effort into getting the course back in shape by over seeding the fairways and manicuring the greens. This course can be quite challenging depending on the the tees you play so choose wisely. Bunkers are in good condition but could use a little trimming around the edges which I am sure will be the next improvement in the near future. All in all I would compare this course to any $50 - $75 in the Orlando area. Take a 40 min drive from Kissimmee and enjoy this great little course.

overbooked

Well we arrived at golf course 30 minutes before tee time. I wanted to practice putting as I bought a new putter. The putting green is across the road from clubhouse a 1/4 mile away. I attempted to check in but they wouldn't allow us to as they didn't have any carts available. So walked over to practice green putted for 15 minutes and walked back to clubhouse. Still no carts. About 15 minutes later 2 carts were available and they allowed us to check in. Started our round 10 minutes past tee time. Get to second hole a par three and there is a group on the green and two groups waiting to tee off. We are the third group. All in all we were the last group to finish our round after 5 hours. Management needs a ranger and more carts.

Show the fairways some love.

Played on a Sunday and the pace was slow which is expected on weekend. There was a ranger on the course but he didn't really help with the pace of play.

The greens were in pretty good shape and putted true.

There was not much benefit to being in the fairways. The grass is very thin in the fairways so playing in the rough was not much different than fairways. If you were lucky in either situation you had a decent lie.

I played this course with my brother so it was a nice day out to socialize, and we didn't take the round too seriously. If you are out for fun, there are a few interesting holes that require you to carry water that will add to your enjoyment.

Slow day

The course needs to have a ranger out monitoring the pace of play. At one point there were 4 groups on one par 3 hole. Very frustrating .

MUST PLAY

This is absolutely a must play Golf Course when in Central Florida. Wherever you are staying in the Orlando or Central Florida area this Golf Course has become a must play course when choosing where to play. The course is in excellent condition from tee to greens. It is being cared for beautifully and is such a joy to play from the first hole right through to the 18th. The views are spectacular and if your fortunate enough to see the water skiers while playing it just adds to the overall enjoyment of playing this very scenic exciting golf course. It has without a doubt one of the best overall layouts you will play. As mentioned the course is in great condition. Staff is wonderful and just an overall great experience. Get out and play Swiss and enjoy a great golfing experience.
