Swiss Fairways Golf Course

The course is one of the prettiest in area, trees, water, wild life...and water skiers!
The cost was lowish...compared to others in area. The course has massive potential but needs work. The tees were ok. Fairways very mixed, some grass and some in decent condition and some in poor condition (mainly weeds). Same goes for the greens...very mixed. The bunkers were in very poor condition...and lots of them!.
Bunkers are costly to maintain...so lose some...grass them over. Also no rakes provided.

If you're a beginner, good course to learn on. No rakes for sand traps, no amenities so be prepared. Views are great, neat to see the water skying too.

It's not the best course in the area, but it plays well and is really good for the money. I have played this course several times, and it does have some challenging holes.

Been playing this course for at least 10 years now. Seen them go through countless owners, and course changes. The most recent owners decision to close the back 9 was the worst yet. This course is not worth playing anymore in my opinion. Maintenance is almost non existent. The cup on hole 8 was overgrown, and looked like it hadn't been changed in at least 2 weeks. Upon finishing our first 9, we headed back to hole 1 to be greeted with 5 groups ahead of us waiting to tee off, as the 18 hole rate forces you to play the front 9 twice, mixing you in with everybody just getting to the course. After waiting about 15 minutes at the first tee and seeing almost no progress on groups moving up, we decided to give up and head home. This course used to be a hidden gem, but unfortunately I'd say it is the last time I will be spending my money here until some serious overhaul is done on the course.

The carts are nice and course is easy to navigate but it is a hack course even at a discounted price.

Enjoyed playing the 9 holes twice being an out of towner. Pace of play was great. The starter gave us great advice about the 2nd hole waiting for the water skiers. Nice layout for a golf course. Bunkers need rakes is the only issue.

Healthy ride from Orlando, thought it was out in the boonies! Good course, well worth the trip and money. Upon leaving, and heading in a different direction back found it wasn't as far from civilization as I thought! They should be booming with players!

After the weather forecast had said the day was going to be a washout, I was looking for a course to play on short notice. There are a lot of them in the area, if you're willing to plop down snowbird/spring break season money (and yes, our gas prices went up by 30 cents per gallon so we could put the squeeze on the spring break crowd). Being pretty out of the way, this course stayed under $40.

It's a fun layout, but...doesn't really offer the opportunity to pick tees of appropriate length the way they are doing things. I was told the front was Gold, and the back was White for a 5500 yard course (a little short, but not bad for me being an older/shorter hitter). The Gold version of the second hole played 145, all of it carry over water. I can play that. On the White side it was 175. I was 2 or 3 yards short (and not even a bright green ball will ever be seen again in this water). For a lot of older guys the only club that will carry this is going to be a driver. The skiers in the water are an added distraction. My only other issue with the course was the lack of rakes for the bunkers. I know most folks don't rake bunkers, but, when I'm in one, I try to rake mine and someone else's, so having no rake at all was frustrating.

It's a fun course, and better kept than I feared (the tee boxes are in much better shape than other courses at this price point in the area). Only number 2 and number 9 are a bit "tricked" up (9 has a huge live oak that basically blocks the approach to the green below 90 feet).

I would play here again if it weren't an hour from the house...during other seasons, there are just too many courses to drive past.

I don’t know how long it’s been run down like this, but it’s not fun at all. None of the bunkers have rakes, the range is the worst condition I’ve seen a range be and the course isn’t too far off from the range. Wouldn’t recommend unless they change their price to $10 a round being you play the same 9 holes twice. It’s like they’ve given up on the course

The last time I played this course was over 20 years ago. I was interested in seeing its condition after these years. For the price, it was a great experience. This is a 9 holes course that you play it twice from a different tee, this made it interesting and felt like you are playing different holes the second time around. The greens were fuzzy, it seemed that they did not cut it that day, it was difficult to get used to it. The experience was not bad. The course has its charm with the ski school and their practice activity. I will not invite my friends to play there, the course is 23 miles away from my house and I am the closest to it by 25 miles, but I do not mind going there again if I am playing by myself and looking for something different at a good price. I had fun playing there even though I did not score well.

No water to drink on the course, no drink cart, no warning signs!! It hit 91 and we we had to stop playing to go get a drink.

You play 9 holes relatively short. Then, if you like, the same 9 from different tees. 130 yard par 3's become 185 yard par 3's. Some par 4's on the first nine are par 5's on the back.
SF is a little scrappy. Different parts could be better maintained, but there's sand in the bunkers, and mowed grass on the fairways. The greens are a bit slower but roll true.
At +-$30 for 18 with a cart, it's a good course to smack it around or sharpen your game without losing every ball in the bag.

Old man needs to treat female golfers with a little more respect and lay off the sexist attitude. Very offended and will not return until you all learn some respect and courtesy. I almost throttled him, he embarrassed me and my friends. For all women golfers make sure you drag a male with you otherwise get ready for the "ATTITUDE". Definitely a "good ole boys club. Choose your courses carefully.
