Not in Good Condition

Biggest problem were sand traps. I remember only one hole that had sufficient sand (#10). Pace of play painfully slow. We skipped 2 holes, and ran into another slow group. Would have taken more than 4.5 hours.

Turf was very wet and muddy in spots. Certainly not worrh more than 2x Palm Lake

Fantastic improvement

The owner found a winner when they hired Kyle to be their grounds keeper! They and the rest of their team have done a great job of turning this course around. Great job Kyle! Now if they can get the restaurant to be something as well.

Enjoyed the day

The course was in great shape and especially the greens which were smooth and medium fast. Plenty of water to drink on the course. The back 9 is interesting with many carries over water and natural areas from the back tees. An air conditioned bar was a nice 19th hole stop.

I’ve played the course once before but thought it is better condition now and a great value. It is challenging with lined fairways and the putting surfaces are excellent

Improvements being made

First time here and the signs are that there is work being done on the course. The greens were very nice and the fairways were full - especially for this time of year.

Pace was pretty slow through the first 5 holes; hour and a half,. The next par 5 we could see the slow group was 2 groups in front of us. We decided to take a chance and skip 2 holes and although we hated to do it, it made a huge difference! Turned out there were 2 threesomes that kept joining up - playing as a six-some will definitely slow down play.

Tough to blame the course, but nobody has a ranger/marshal anymore. It was a fun course that I plan to go back to.

Terrible Customer Service

My wife and I played 18 holes a few weeks ago and were paired with another couple, which was great. We were about to hit our second shot, on hole 11, when I noticed the marshal speaking with the other couple, I hit and pulled my second shot a little left of the green. I dropped another ball to hit a provisional when the marshal said he needed us to skip two holes because he had a league that was about to start on hole 11. I said OK and was about to hit my provisional when the marshal stopped me and said, I need you to pick your ball up now and advance to hole 14, I saw your approach shot so you should be happy! We moved along and were never able to make up the two holes, like he said we could, because the course was crowded and we couldn’t get back to those holes and we weren’t provided any assistance from the staff. We decided to give the course another chance so we played 18 holes yesterday and were joined by to other guys. We waited approximately 20 minutes to tee off and no one else teed off on number one in that 20 minutes. Once we made it to number 11 the marshal tells us that we are two holes behind and need to pick up the pace. I told him about the time gap between us teeing off and the group that teed off ahead of us and said we might be half a hole slower than we should be but we are not two holes behind, like he suggested. His response was, “get back on it and speed up because you are slowing the course down.” He didn’t say another word, he just showed us his rude attitude and total disregard for customer service. Never did anyone that was behind us have to wait on us to move before they hit a shot and our playing time was 4 hours, 15 minutes!

Based on the treatment we received by the Cypress Knoll staff, the last two times we played the course, I can confidently say they don’t care about new customers, only their regulars! Why would anyone want to go to a course where the staff takes your money and doesn’t care about your experience and cares even less if you get to do what you paid for…Like playing every hole on the course that you paid to play!

Greens

What a great improvement to this course in the last 3 yrs. Kyle has down a great job bring this course back to life! Of course the new owners have giving him a free hand to get it done! Once the greens come back in from the recent aeration that place will be one of the best public course in the area!
