Poor course conditions

Holes that have been altered to accommodate new construction are poorly designed. Teeboxes are atrocious. Fairway and greens are average at best.

Bad timing.

Course layout wasn’t bad, but the clubhouse is being renovated, staff and signage were lacking. Took a bit to find the first tee. Tee boxes and greens were in poor condition. Might be a better option at a different time of year.

Nice layout

Course is in good shape. Greens can be challenging. Back nine is especially nice with open fairways, elevation changes, and well-placed bunkers. New clubhouse should be open in February.

Needs work

Could not tell fairways to rough. Weeds all over the fairways as well as greens. This course needs serious overhauling of entire course. You can see more ground than grass all over the fairways. Balls land on fairways but most of times i was hitting from the dirt in between the grass.

Great Day of Golf

Had a wonderful time at Sweetwater. They a have a new clubhouse which includes a restaurant. Staff is fantastic. They are making lots of course improvements including irrigation. Greens were in good shape. Overall, course conditions are improving.

Needs a lot of work

They say there's work coming, but the current condition of the greens and most of the tee boxes is pretty bad. Several tee boxes are completely sand. There are some confusing holes with greens being moved and poor signage.

Good course could be great

Just two points from our first time playing - a few greens need some love. When putting on green and it jumps from sand patches or weeds…
Second and more important is pace of play / golf etiquette. I know foursomes can be slower than a two some or single player. But when the group in front is taking 24 minutes a hole (yes we timed them) it can derail your game - hello 3 triple bogeys.
If this is a recurring complaint, a ranger could fix it. I’m not a fan of rangers but I’d rather be told to speed up my 15 minute hole then taking over 3 hours for the back nine behind a slow/inconsiderate group.

*OK*-course

Houses are too close to the fairways.. one family had a kids party and installed a bouncy castle on the side of the fairway ( not on their property but on the golf course ) so you don’t want to hit the ball like you would seeing children playing on the right side of the fairway.
Hole 11 and 12 are beautiful ( see picture )

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.
