Sweetwater Country Club
I was prepared for there to be no driving range, but there was also no putting green, so there was no way to prepare properly. First hole is a joke (200-yard par 4?), houses directly off the green, and the approach on 9 was even closer to windows. If I was a high-handicapper, I'd be scared to death here.
Conditions were OK, and there were hardly any other players on the course (Thursday afternoon), so pace of play was excellent. One hole had a temporary green, but that was OK.
This course was slightly redesigned some years back after they took out the clubhouse, tennis courts, driving range, etc., to make room for more houses.
Customer service
I set up a teatime for two. I had a last-minute cancellation and called and asked if I could just play by myself and get a refund for the other player. I was threatened with a lawsuit if I put a review on GolfNow. Just keep this in mind if you plan on playing here.
Course overall in good shape.
I almost cancelled because of the recent negative feedback on the course. There are a couple problems, a couple of greens need some work. Sand traps were not racked out and no rakes were there to fix them after you hit.
Near the end of my round there people working on them and I was in one after the work that was in great shape. Clubhouse was almost finished and the checkin was in a temporary location and the only refreshments was water and soft drinks.
Restrooms were available.
Fairways were in good shape for the most part, definitely playable. I will play there again.
Reviews that are so old are out dated!!
I liked the course and it was great looking course!! Maybe years ago it was bad but now they have built new pro shop. (Not finished) but can tell it will be beautiful!! Glad I didn’t go from past reviews!!
Challenging layout
Work being done to a couple greens. Great condition compared to others in this area.
Not GHIN Eligible
Fun course. Decent shape. Would play again but it’s not part of the GHIN system so my scores don’t count. Get it included and I’ll be back.
Very disappointed!
Until such time as all renovations on both the course and clubhouse completed, I do not advise this course. In the current condition fees need to be greatly reduced and transparency shared about no pro shop, no driving range and no restaurant. Website deceptive and exaggerated for available amenities. Shame on Sweetwater County Club!!
Sill needs work
Course is under new ownership and still needs a lot of work. Clubhouse was not open yet, but looks like it will be nice when it is. The greens are very slow, can missing grass in some spots. Fairways and tee boxes need more grass and less weeds.
Sweet water country club
The worst condition I’ve ever seen a golf course greens were the speed of the fairways, weeds everywhere honestly the worst course I’ve ever played.
Waste
Although the layout is great this course needs to be shut down and reopened with new ownership. The fairways are just poor and the greens are terrible. Hole 6 is a disaster as they let the green go and tried to cut a green in the middle of the fairway. This really should be a $20 track and nothing more. With all the other courses nearby, your money will be better spent elsewhere. No amenities at all!
No Free Beer
No free beer. Tight fairways/course. No free beer though. Definitely advertised.
First Time at Sweetwater
Greeter/starter was superb and friendly. However the plyboard wooden signs at the clubhouse don’t get your hopes up. When you’re saving on quality signs, you’re saving on a lot more. Course layout has so much potential. Reminded me of courses up north. However overall conditions were lacking quality. Tee boxes are almost all weeds, no grass. Some bunkers had minimal sand, some greens were scalped. Layout however is fun and with several par 5s, you can score. Don’t know who’s managing the course or club, but change them out. You have a potential gem and social hub there but not when you’re in deep cut back mode as you stop having vision.
Not Great
So this course has potential and it appears they’re finishing construction so no pro shop. The biggest things for me was the fact that they lost their liquor license due to address issues per the starter but on top of that they didn’t even have drinks, no water, only soda was Diet Coke, and no beer or liquor. For a country club that’s a red flag. Hard to play 18 in the summer without water at the very least.
The course itself had a nice layout, a lot of par 5’s which was nice but missing cart paths and directions on a lot of the holes. Every and I mean every tee box needs to be replaced. Not a hint of grass in sight. Most of the greens were in decent shape but a few were diseased.
Once they finished and fill the clubhouse and address the drinks and grass issues this club would be pretty nice.
Also golf now said if you take a tour you get a free beer or soda but that wasn’t happening lol.
