Fairways Country Club
About
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.

Overall good experience
Considering how wet it’s been, they’ve been doing a very good job. I will definitely come back.
Value
Don't have high expectations and you won’t be disappointed. Course fairways not in great condition. Very wet due to all the rain lately, was very hard to play. A solid inch or two of water covering most fairways. With that being said, the layout is super fun and I got the tee time for dirt cheap so even with the bad conditions I would have spend $20 at the range in a hour. The pro shop employee super friendly and great laidback vibe overall. Good place to practice. I will be back when it dries out a bit.
Thunderclaps and handicaps
I don’t know what got ahold one me on this day but I easily played the best round of my life. Maybe it’s because the course is a par 70? Only the ranger that watched during the thunderstorm and rain believes my final scorecard!
Rough fairway conditions
I played this course yesterday, i must say the greens were rolling true and they were in good condition. But the fairways and tee boxes need work. This course really tests your accuracy off the tee box, tight fairways and alot of mobile homes around, as well as alot of water and out of bounds areas.
Management needs to maintain
I was very disappointed with the maintenance of this course. We've gone several times but this was by far the worst it's been. Fairways were in terrible condition and greens were okay. Definitely not worth the $55+. I will wait until they actually invest a little $ in maintenance.
Nope
The course was in dreadful shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in rough shape. Lift and place everywhere.
Short course
So let’s start with Good, I felt the greens on each hole were fair and the speed was reasonable. While I say that there were many greens that had fungus in areas where the pin was not placed obviously the greenskeeper is trying to keep people away from those specific areas.
Although we have not had a lot of rain, the course has been watered, but the fairways lack ample grass on many of the holes. There’s a lot of burned out areas and you really need to move the ball around in order to have a favorable lie.
The biggest negative to me was the fact that this is in a retirement community that is gated. There’s no mention of this in any of the information through GolfNow or through any information from the clubhouse. So getting into the facility is a little bit difficult unless you understand that you have to be called in by the clubhouse. This was a negative and should’ve been noted when booking your teatime.
The staff is super friendly willing to give you as much information as you need specifically in directing you to the first and 10th hole, which can be a bit confusing. The biggest confusing part for me was understanding where the clubhouse was, which is connected to a pool that the residence use and it’s unclear based on where you park if that is the actual clubhouse.
Overall, it was a good round of golf pace of play was decent. There is no starter nor is there any Rangers roaming around checking on piece of play. I found that there was no water on the course so you must fuel up before leaving the clubhouse or bring your own water until you reach the clubhouse between the ninth and 10th hole.
Good Value for the $$$
Played with my Mom for an early Mother’s Day. Round. The course was perfect for her. Greens were in very good shape despite the heat and no rain. Much better than some of the more expensive courses. Easy layout for those of us who aren’t as proficient. Tee boxes for all ages. Pace was perfect. Moved fast. 3 hour round. Good course. Obviously not perfect, but fun. Tough to get into the front gate. You basically have to tailgate to get through .Need to fix that. That’s the only complaint. TY Fairways!
Great course for the price
The course staff was friendly and professional. Definitely have to use other clubs besides driver off the tee. Short course where accuracy and short game is important. Really enjoy playing this course!
