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.

Short and tight

Great value very tight course feel like you are on people front or back porch! Good place to take kids. Fairways were ok in some overgrown in others. Tee box where excellent greens needed to be cut but great to take kids learning!

What a difference a year makes

Also played the week before. I hadn't been back here for over a year due to the poor conditions, but how things have changed. Only a couple of fairways that need some more attention, but the tee boxes and greens are thousands times better. Yes, the greens are a little slow (okay a lot slow), but I figure they are keeping them longer through the heat of summer to make sure they are really established, then this winter will trim them down and they will be fast, slick little mothers. I appreciate the backfill on #10 next to the lake, and the tree removal throughout the course. Have already booked for next week.

Currently Best Course in East Orlando!!!

For the price you pay and the conditions. You can't beat it. Fairly easy track. I stopped playing here for a while when they shut down part of the course for new irrigation. Now that irrigation system is paying off. I never thought grass would grow on hole #6 and it's now coming along. The conditions are way way better than Eastwood and a better value than stoneybrook. My only gripe are the slow putting greens. The tee boxes are in great shape, fairways look great, and it's never really busy out there. I took my employees from the bank out for a round and we had a blast. Staff and Manager Christian is mad cool too. Fairways today vs last year has shown tremendous improvement

Best greens in East Orlando

I've played every course in the area, Eastwood, Wedgefield, Stoneybrook, Twin Rivers, etc. and none compare to Fairways. The round is insanely cheap, I played on a senior day (Thursday) for just $18 but I also saw Tuesday was a senior day and their student rates were only $15. For that price I wasn't expecting much but boy did I get a lot for that price. The staff was extremely pleasant and outgoing and genuinely wanted to see me have a good time while there, the course conditions were great. Tee boxes and greens were fantastic, a few fairways still need some TLC but the manager there was explaining how they recently put in a new irrigation system and what the plans are for the future of the course. I had a hotdog combo for $5 which was one of the best hot dogs I've ever eaten and it included chips and a fountain drink, and also $12 six-packs of beer, I thought those prices were long gone on a golf course. I've never had a bad experience here and every time I play somewhere else it just reminds me of how much better it is at Fairways. Give it a shot guys, you'll love it!

a good day at the course

Very fair if you can keep your shots in the fairway -- lots of water - sand was well maintained - overall a good day at the course.

Well laid out tract

This is your typical park layout. Winding it's way through the mobile home community the course has water in the right places . Still spring course conditions, but nice enough still.

Great course

Nice course to play, very scenic. Staff very friendly. Nicely kept, greens roll true. Challenging narrow fairways, Lots of water. Great deal for the money you pay.
Only thing I didn't like is lots of houses around some holes.

More than 9 holes

This is an 18 hole golf course. They were just putting in a new irrigation system but it was still playable. It was more difficult than I expected. Much water and narrow fairways. The greens were in good shape. The people at the pro shop were very friendly. It appeared that there was much work being done for this course to upgrade it. Great course for the price.

GOOD COURSE/ GREAT STAFF

I played as a single. There was a 5-some in front of me so I hit a few balls of each tee. The 5-some played well so they played at a great pace. The greens are being worked on the back 9 so you had to play the front 9 twice for 18 holes. I played 9 holes and when I went to play the 1st hole again. There were 2 5-somes and a 4-some ahead of me. I didn't play the 9 again. The manager there saw I was leaving early because of the congestion and gave me 2 free rounds of golf because he wanted me to come back. Very classy and gracious by him (sorry I didn't catch his name). Even without the free rounds I would come back. It is a nice course to play.

Lack of information

We were advised when we arrived that the back nine were closed for sprinkler work. We wish we would have known. GolfNow didn't advise either. The front nine was very wet with a lot of soggy muddy areas on the fairways. I understand the rain around here but it has very poor drainage. Even when you had good shots you could still be in muddy areas. The staff are very nice and they have a great hotdog...that saved the day!

Nice retirement community course

The draw to this course is the second hole on every green! It's 15 inches wide!! Gives me new hope that I can hit that hole in one or get an albatross! Cool place, very friendly staff and a well maintained course...can't beat the value for the price.

It Is What It Is

Great course for the money. Super friendly staff. Interesting layout. Best value in the Orlando area. This is not Pebble Beach, but a down home friendly course to have fun on. There is some water and tight fairways to keep it interesting. Amazing number of birds on the course. No frills- try it- you'll like it!!

first time back in 5yrs

Overall they've course some nice condition change, no real issues to complain about. Value was greart under 20 second to tee off, and the ahead allowed us to play through 18 in 3 plus hours. The greens are slow.. One issue off 10th tee a resident (?) shouted out a none repeatable statement shame shame.
