The golf course at Fairways Country Club is a short course but it is quite unforgiving. Water hazards come into play on fifteen of the eighteen holes of the course. The greens are small and tight and they are in excellent condition. There are also strategically placed bunkers situated throughout as well for extra challenge. The signature hole of the course is the par-5 5th hole, which has water on both sides of the fairway and it also runs across it 100 yards from the green. The course has three sets of teeboxes to accommodate different abilities and handicaps.

Hidden gem

This course is a hidden gym. Very well maintained and fun to play. It’s short yardage wise, but the greens are challenging. The only thing I would say negatively was that feeling of being rushed by the starter. I was there about 15 min before my scheduled tee time and the starter was trying to rush me to the first tee before a large group of members were about to tee off. Don’t offer that time if you are just going to rush people on. Other than that, it was an excellent day.

Challenging little course

Fairways doesn’t play long, but it is exceptionally tight. And the proximity to the homes adds to the perception of the narrow fairways. Greens were fast and true, and fairways were in good condition. I’ll definitely play here again - great price for a fun round.

Played this course pre-pandemic and it was a goat track. Kudos to staff for bringing it back. Short but challenging layout. Lots of water and some carry. Really, enjoyed playing it and will be back to play it again.

Fun course with an Achilles heel

First time at the course, staff was friendly and helpful. Good pace of play even with multiple walking groups. Greens were exceptional, rolling true at a good pace. Course conditions were great overall. I have only one gripe with the course, and that is how tight most of the fairways are with houses lining nearly every fairways. The risks of hitting a house are apparent and on the mind on every tee shot. just leave the driver in the bag at this course

Not for everyone

This course has an interesting layout and in general is in good shape. Greens could use some TLC. If you are looking for a cost effective round, this is a great option. It has some pacing challenges as it is in a golf retirement community,

Super fast greens, leave driver at home . Must play this course with ultimate shot management. Lots of tight fairways with a lot of houses..

Good value, decent course

Nice course, very friendly staff. Greens very good, some of the fairways a bit patchy in places but overall in decent condition. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Be ready for some weird things

Course is nice, always has been. They increased their prices which is fine but you expect to play a full 18 holes. They stack the tee times on both the front and back and they let out multiple men’s leagues on the weekends. It doesn’t work but they make more money so they simply don’t care. New nice carts without the windshield. They charge for Texas de Brazil and you get Golden Corral.

Surprisingly Great

Decided last minute to play here and wasn't disappointed. Price was right and the course, though on a community property, was pretty amazing. We paired with another player who was local and the 18 flew by.

Some.holes are tough but I also have a fear of water and lost a few balls. Luckily, somewhere near the end of the front 9 was a house selling balls for charity which was awesome to see. Next time in Orlando, I will surely go back.

Very good condition

The greens are very good and rolling medium fast and true. The fairways are pretty good considering we haven’t had much rain lately. Enjoyable course to play. You need to play smart here. Not every hole needs a driver. Good challenge of golf skills.
