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.

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.

Hidden Gem

I have lived within 10 miles of this course for about 20 years, and for the life of me, why haven't I played it more? This is a challenging course for those that like to hit the long ball. Water comes into play on several holes, but no sweat! Maintain your focus and you will be fine. If you are wondering if you should take the drive out to play this course, do it!! You will not be disappointed. I will definitely be going back! Highly recommend!

Disappointed

Rude, unfriendly pro shop staff who was not welcoming when we arrived 20 minutes early for our tee time but told us to hurry to catch another twosome who would be told to wait for us to meet them on hole #2. Then the ranger waved us off when we were only approaching the first green so we didn’t keep the twosome we were told to join waiting. We didn’t even get to finish hole # 1. The course conditions were mediocre at best with slow greens. We will not play this course again.

An off the beaten track gem

Apparently brought back from the brink, a really good layout with many tests of golf skills. Fun and very worthwhile playing.

Staff was somewhat rude and course was in poor condition

As I paid I was offered the chance to buy range balls which I decided to do. After paying I asked where the range was and was told that it was across the street, I asked for my cart and was told he couldn’t give it to me until I was ready for hole 1 which was right behind the clubhouse (trailer) that we were in. When I asked why I couldn’t get the cart I was told that he didn’t trust me and I could go off on hole 10 which is right next to the range. I was shocked of the potential accusation and Later had to drive my truck across the street to avoid a decent walk. Overall the course had a cool layout but the greens were in pretty rough shape. Given the cost I thought it was a fair price for the condition of the course. I will not be back to this course anytime soon.

First time playing this course

It was about 53 degrees out with about a 15 mile per hour wind. I must say that this is the first time I have had to wait for a boat and a water skier before I could tee off on the second hole. The course was in good shape. The greens were hard to get the speed down but we're in good shape as well. I was glad to be playing with people who have played the course before because I would have never found the 10th tee (it's across the road from the entrance to the resort). The foursome played in just under 4 hours although we could have finished sooner but we caught up to the foursome in front of us. I will be going back to play this course again... hopefully in better weather.

Great Value

Spent 4 days in Orlando area and played 8 different courses. We are from Arkansas, so first exposure to Florida courses. We are also beginners. We were pleasantly surprised at the value we received for the money at Swiss. In general, the staff was beyond friendly, and in our opinion the course was in good to great condition. We were first off in the morning, so review of pace is as accurate as we can give. We never had anyone pushing us. We did note there was a huge crowd when we finished up. As far as amenities, don’t think they had “hot” food, just snacks, soda, water etc.

Best Bang For the $ in the Clermont Area.

This has become a go-to course for group I play with. 2 years ago it wasn't even on my radar - it was awful. They've consistently made the effort to keep conditions nice out there. Challenging layout, good conditions, friendly staff, gettable but not a cake-walk by any stretch, and they have THE MOST competitive rates. Definitely recommend this course!
