Great Value

I've been playing this course for the past 10 years and this is the best it's been in a long time. The current management has put a lot of effort into getting the course back in shape by over seeding the fairways and manicuring the greens. This course can be quite challenging depending on the the tees you play so choose wisely. Bunkers are in good condition but could use a little trimming around the edges which I am sure will be the next improvement in the near future. All in all I would compare this course to any $50 - $75 in the Orlando area. Take a 40 min drive from Kissimmee and enjoy this great little course.

If Cows Could Golf ......

The only time I write a review is when I'm pleasantly surprised or extremely disappointed with a course. As I'm sure you can guess from my Title the later applies. The only thing missing on this course was the cows to keep the rough trimmed back. The fairways were cut and for the most part provided enough grass in between the weeds to place your ball on. There were some large holes located around the greens and on the sides of some of the fairways where they threw some sand in to serve as bunkers but the edge of the bunkers were not defined so I wasn't quite sure where they started and ended. Pitch marks (Holes) in the greens among the weeds provided a terrific obstacle course when putting on the furry ( 5 Stimp ) greens. Adding to the difficulty of the greens, the superintendent decided to water the greens at 2PM just to provide a water hazard - I'm sure. All in all I would highly recommend that you should stay clear of this course. It wasn't worth the $22.00 we paid - As a matter of fact it wasn't worth the gas It took to drive there.

A Wonderful Suprise

We played this course 3 years ago and were disappointed with it's condition. After reading some of the reviews we decided to take another chance and Boy! were we pleasantly surprised. The new owners are investing in this course and the results are great. So much so that we came back 2 days later and will probably play this a few more time before we head home. If I could offer any constructive criticism I would suggest to try to eliminate one of the par 3's on the front nine as I believe they contribute to the slow play. I gave the off course amenities an "excellent" because they are under construction and in a few weeks the Pro shop / Dining Room will be revitalized.

A liitle bit to be Desired

I played the East course 10 years ago and really enjoyed it so I decided to try it again this year. Booked a Hot Deal through Golf Now and paid $27.00 + Convenience Fees and Taxes to a total of $32.50. When at the course they were charging $30.00. Fairways were poor. Had to move the ball around to find grass to hit off. Greens were in good condition - A little slow. Too Bad ! Won't come back until the reviews get better !

Great little Course

We have been coming to Swiss Fairways for 10 years but over the past 3 years we stopped due to the poor conditions. This year we decided to give it another try and we are glad we did. It is back to it's original shape if not better. After playing, we booked another round and will probably come back a couple of more times before we head home. The only negative I can say about this course is that I chose the wrong Tee blocks and it came up and bite me. If your not a 260+ , and straight ball striker then play the Golds and enjoy !!!

Look before you Book

This is the 3rd time I've played this course over the same number of years. The course has a great layout and is somewhat challenging - Sand traps are well placed and maintained. The only negative I would warn about is the greens. They were unacceptable. All of them were severely damaged and in need of a major overhaul. If you don't mind moving your ball on each green to find grass to put on then go for it but I will make it a point to call and check the condition of the greens the next time I book.

Nice course, well maintained

Fairly open course, good size fairways, undulating greens. Rated at 67/116 from the blue tees but don't let that fool you. Bunkers are well placed so accuracy is a must.

Don't waste your money !!!

Terrible course. Hard to find a patch of grass on the fairway and when you did it was like hitting off of cement. Greens haven't been cut in I don't know how long and were patchy. I thought this would be a nice little course to knock the rust off from being away from the game for a few months but the conditions of this course just added to my frustration. Total waste of money & I will never be back !!

Don't Waste your money

Tee blocks were in terrible condition
Fairways were mostly bare and hard to find a grassy spot to place your ball. Not good if your trying to play by the rules.
Greens were terrible. Blotchy, Bumpy
We paid $31.00 Taxes etc incl.
Wouldn't pay any more than $15.00 and would only use the course as a practice round
Stay clear of this Dog !!!!!

Practice Course

We use this course to knock some of the rust off our game as we are coming from the north and haven't played in a couple of months.
That's it - Then we play real courses

The Worst I've ever Played - Stay Away !!!!!!!!

Greens - Horrific, Slow, Patchy, Inconsistant
Fairways - No grass, Was like hitting out of waste bunkers
Tee Blocks - All sand, No grass to tee your ball up
I paid $16.00 including cart which was about 30 yrs old and felt that I overpaid by at least $ 10.00
Wanted to practise my short game but condition of the course was so bad that I couldn't find a patch of grass to put my ball on
