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 course

a nice course, fairways a bit narrow and short tee boxes. Not a problem if you know ahead of time and just play from one farther back than usual. There were people in front of us and right behind of us and although the time of play went quickly, seems like every hole we had to wait. Still a fast pace of play due to course being short.

This course is just plain fun and nice scenery. It has several challenging holes and the 16th hole will challenge any skilled golfer.

Nice little course.

Played on a weekday afternoon. Never had to wait on a hole. Course was well maintained, and had some challenging holes. Great value for the money. I would play there again.

little gem just needs a little attentiom.

although giving it a three star rating it was after much discussion. the welcome and course instructions excellent and its a quirky golf course with some very nice looking golf holes the designer certainly made the best of the land . unfortunately the greens have suffered from irrigation problems and a lot of remedial work is required. The same can be said for some fairways and tees. having said all that we have seen it described as a little gem and there is no doubt when in good condition it will be a little gem. definitely a return in sight.

Great Value

Only 15 dollars on their actual website for 18 holes and a cart. Sometimes you can get 12 dollars on golf now. Usually pretty empty and for the money, the course is great. Pretty short but still somewhat challenging and the last few times I've been there the greens have been decent and most fairways kept up well. Definitely a steal and little known gem around the UCF area!

NOT worth money

Terrible course for the money. Some of the holes didnt even have a tee box, it was on grass. Another hole had a sandtrap on the green itself. Everywhere around the giant hole was green exept there was a little tiny sand trap maybe 6 inches deep but 5 ft around. I also paid way to much for course.

Needs a lot of work, good practice for the money.

Course needs some serious aattention. If you like to keep score, than this isn't the course for you in its current condition. Greens are very poor, unputtable. It was only $12 on a hot deal, so I can't complain too much, you get what you pay for.

Fun little course

I had a great time on this course. I didn't run into anyone on the course so the pace was quick. Greens have gotten better on most holes and the fairways are great. The only thing was that they mowed and left the grass in the fairways. Not a big deal but it's worth noting. I would play this course again.

Course needs maintenance, badly.....

The course needs more maintenance than it's currently getting. The fairways are not in the best of shape but the greens are basically all sand. This is the worst shape I have seen this course in over the past 3 years.

short course, but challenging

If you want to practice on a tight course, short par 5's, and not spend a lot of time, ,and don't care about pristine conditions, then this course could be for you and enjoyable.

The most awful experience I have ever had on a golf course with my son

The experience was maybe the worst experience I have faced in a long time esp from a professional organization....As you are aware of the circumstances of your "Golf Pro" and how he treated myself and my son I am fully coming to grips with this whole thing....We were normal paying customers having a fun day as a Father and Son when we were approached by Jack and pulled in front of our cart and stopped us then mentioned we were "to close to the green in our cart" I responded Ok and asked him to move his cart ..When he didnt move right away I waived him away..At that point he stopped his cart and said "Is there a problem? " In a gruff voice that scared my 15 year old son. I said no there is no problem I want to go to the next hole and he said did you understand what I said about staying a distance from the greens? At that point I said go away and let us play right now and he said how about I throw you off the course! he them proceeded to remove the keys out of the cart with myself and my son inside which terrified my son..We were held there against our will with our golfbag cooler lunch etc for 25 mins until the manager finally came almost 30 mins later gave our keys back.t the damage is done. Please read the following...

False imprisonment is the unlawful restraint of a person against her will by someone without legal authority or justification. Any person who intentionally restricts another person's freedom of movement without their consent and without legal justification may be liable for false imprisonment, including police officers, security guards, store owners, medical professionals, employers, and other individuals. Moreover, false imprisonment may occur in a number of settings, such as in a room, on the streets, or even in a moving vehicle.

False imprisonment is both a crime and a civil wrong. A person claiming civil false imprisonment typically seeks to be freed and may recover damages for the interference with his or right to move freely. Civil damages may take the form of compensatory damages (for any injuries sustained), nominal damages (a small sum to acknowledge the harm that was done), and/or punitive damages (to punish the wrongdoer).

So after all this they wouldnt even give my money back but offered a few rounds!

the course is in rough shape.

Played the other day found the course in rough shape. The green have hardly any grass. Lots of weeds in the fairways, I would wait for new grass to grow.

Nice course for a home course

The course overall is in okay condition. The greens are pretty fast but play true for your average subdivision course. Some of the fairways are in need of some attention, but it appears as though some of those areas are being addressed. I always enjoy playing here, especially when it's not overcrowded.

Unbeatable for the price

Kinda like a home course. For the price (can get golf now deals for 7$ per 18 many times) you can't beat it. Never paid more that 15$ to play it. Nice change ups throughout. Not very challenging but a great course to learn and practice on.

BEWARE OF THE GRUMPY LOCALS!

As beginner players, my girlfriend and I played here because other reviews we read. "Slow play" and "good for beginners". Didn't take long for the group behind us to rush the group ahead of us. Then they started hitting their balls right on us as if we could go anywhere. Made for a not so relaxing back 9. The course seemed crowded like 18 holes was squeezed into too small of an area. It is a good practice course. Tee boxes and greens need some work.

After arriving at course, cancelled my T-Time

Upon arriving for my T-Time, several patrons in front of me were complaining because there were no carts. Apparently, they over-booked and they had carts. But, couldn't find the keys. I got the impression this course was poorly managed

Good course for the money

Challenging , very narrow and makes you hit the ball straight.
The course has been kept up lately and shows that they are making an effort to be one of the best. The only issue is the golf carts need more attention. Running out of power in the middle of the course. Need to upgrade
