Sweetwater Golf & Country Club

About
Sweetwater Country Club is situated amid the beauty of the Wekiva State Park. Sweetwater is one of Orlando's premier golf courses, boasting a challenging championship layout with some of the area's best greens. The classic links layout brings a taste of Scottish golf to central Florida. Mature oaks shade the golf course, lining the fairways and framing the greens. The 6,771-yard layout offers a good amount of length but it's definitely not a grip-it-and-rip-it course thanks to tight fairways that require accurate shot placement. The course is home to one of the longest par 5s in the Southeast, a challenging 625-yard hole that is aptly named the "Loch Ness Monster." The heavily tree-lined hole double doglegs around a large lake. There are some challenging holes but Sweetwater Country Club isn't overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Sweetwater golf and country club
The staff and the country club is very nice with good food. The corse was in below average condition, the layout was awful and there’s no driving range or practice greens. We had a maintenance worker on almost every hole with us and several times in the range of the shot so that was very uncomfortable. Overall I will most likely never go back or recommend anyone to.
Sweetwater April 25
My nephew and I played Sweetwater Sat. 4/19 starting mid-morning, we finished at 2:00, so a solid 4hour round. Like a lot of local courses, the dry winter beat up the fairways. Still very playable, but not Sweetwater at its best. We both enjoyed the smooth, and fast rolling greens. What the fairways lacked, the greens made up for. The staff was great. All were very personable and welcoming. All and all, a good day
Coming along Great
Greens were fantastic and in great shape. Fairways have improved a ton albeit with little more work needed and they are doing it. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A driving range would be great and a more stocked pro shop but great value and course is coming along great. Keep it up, we’ll be back.
Worst course in years
Only positive thing about this course is the clubhouse after the round for cold beer and pizza.
Good bang for the buck
Lots of tenants of the golf community around the course. Some waiting.
Lack of water visible in places, but OK to play.
Booked with GN it was a good value.
Very improved
If you have never played this course before you might give it no more than three stars, maybe even one. We play it often and overall and have seen vast improvements. The greens are playable, slow but always have been. The fairways are very dry, we need rain, so move your ball a view inches. The fairways will recover, the greens will improve even more and you will have a nice round of golf .
Evolving
It was my first experience at this facility and I saw it had mixed reviews. The poor ratings were mostly for course conditions. I can say the greens were very good with a couple under some point of reconstruction. The fairways were ok and you could see that they are putting some effort into them as well.
The staff was absolutely fantastic! Rosemarie in the bar is so much fun.
I’d play here again and I’m hopeful for their continued efforts to make it even better
Can Do Better
Course was decent enough for the price. Some tee box marker positions were not consistent and some just did not make sense.
In the morning the club house did not sell coffee and also it does not sell gold balls. We did not see tees or golf gloves for purchase either.
been awhile
It has been over 10 years since I played here...now being on Golfnow caused me to try it again...course was in good shape...people friendly...a lot of really old golfers moving quite slow but okay...they only have 40 golf carts so even though I got out on time...had to wait to get a returning cart...this was a Monday so weekends might be an issue. My round trip drive is over 2 hours on surface streets so probably won't play here regularly but would if it was closer
Horrible first 9 halls and good last 9 halls
Staff, Devon was very friendly. But the fist 9 halls look retrofitted into residential area and horrible layout. The last 9 halls look decent golf course
In rough Condition!
First time there and have to say, don’t think I’ll be back. Fairways are patchy and very dry and a rough ride. Greens are a mix of grass and dirt and open spots. There are some good greens on the course. Have to also say I’m surprised at the gas golf carts. I would think that the residents would complain of the noise in a quiet neighborhood. Pace of play was terrible. Teed off before eleven and finished over 4 hours later. Just 2 in our group. But a day on the course is better than any day at work.
