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.

9 hole layout okay

This track is 9 holes w/different tee recommendations' to total 18 hole play. Tee boxes, rough and bunkers were barely acceptable, fairways okay. Pace of play was a tad slow. I'm pretty sure I won't return here.

lack of communication

This whole is a nine hole course that you play two times. Not to mention that the first time according to the card it is a par 33 and the second time somehow the card says it’s a par 35. I personally don’t like playing a nine hole course so I think it should be mentioned in advance how this course plays. The carts were not wiped down prior to being utilized so the morning due was all over the seats. Just an overall lack of attention to detail or communication. Not very professional and not worth the money.

I'll be back

I got a hot deal and for under 30bucks you can't beat it. There's a lot of hills for a florida course. And the greens are elevated and often we'll protected with sand . It's 9 holes so you go around twice and they seem to have scheduling down so you don't get backed up at the turn. The greens had some bare patches I think it's damage from hurricane milton , but I have played far worse in florida at many different courses.

Played Swiss fairways

I thought the course was good for the money. However, there were no rakes in any of the sand traps.

Millionaire’s golf - DO NOT IGNORE THIS GREAT COURSE!

Our first time back to Swiss Fairways since before Covid and we were really looking forward to it! A bit sad it has ramped back to a 9 hole course, but it was just as fun, interesting and in as good shape as before. Other than the 6th and 7th which are fairly similar, each hole is unique and it own individual challenge.

We have played loads of Orlando courses in recent days, Mystic Dunes, Falcon’s Fire, Providence etc., and this is right up there with them. Conditions were great - especially compared to Falcon’s Fire which when we played was an over-priced joke.

Staff we met were friendly and professional, the shop was well stocked, and because it was quite a cold day for Florida (but not for us who play golf through the winter in bleak England) we had the course to ourselves on the back 9 (we had a later tee time).

Highly recommend…we will be back. It is an easy drive from Route 192 - it isn’t as far off the beaten path as it looks. Go play it - you won’t get better value for your money!

Swiss fairways

Wasn’t a bad course, but it kinda sucked that the back 9 are closed and I didn’t know that when I booked. Also had to wait like 10 mins for each hole, because there was a 6 people group in front of us. But for 15 dollars Because of student discount, wasn’t bad.

Uncle Grouch

Great deal for the money, pretty challenging.

It’s a shame I didn’t get to play it before when it was an 18 hole course. Conditions were pretty good as of Jan 2 24
