Cypress at Palm-Aire Country Club

I have played the Cypress course several times in the last few years, and this was the first time this season.

I was told the course was not in good shape, so I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the conditions were. Graff was fuller and the ground wasn't so hard.

great course, par71, long courses, difficult par 3 200 yds, challenging, greens and fairway in great conditions.

The greens are the best part of the course - they are undulating, and can be quick when maintained. The rest of the course is in need of $2-3M of work - t-boxes are ragged, a lot of residential grass creeping in all over the course, traps are inconsistent from fluffy to a dusting of sand over wet clay. This was a country club, now people treat it like a frat house - some of that may be the lack of respect for the rules and proper etiquette, exacerbated by the number of new COVID golfers and out of towners who just don't care.

Now I know why the course was priced so low. The greens were in terrible condition. We saw 3 types of issues on several greens. On one green you would see this green paint like hard covering along with white spots, and then even black spots. This was the case on multiple greens. The cart paths were littered with pot holes that were so bad you had to drive around them which defeats the purpose. There were flooded areas on cart paths. We saw the beverage cart lady once on the front and once on the back plus at the 18th. Her cart was in such bad shape it took a full 5 seconds to get going. She looked at us like "I know right?". This place needs to be shut down until they can make the needed repairs.

Course was fun windy conditions makes this very interesting especially when using a fairway wood on a par 3!

This course is fun and challenging. The greens are in great shape except for 13.

With an empty course and no one on the back nine yet, the starter refused to let me switch courses (willing to pay the difference for “better” course) or start the back nine as a single player. He then told me “ if you want to do that, you have to show me by some money and put it in my hands”. The a-hole wanted me to bribe him and pay him, so I can play by myself during a pandemic. I wish I had called the cops to investigate that d-bag. I ended up sneaking to the back nine and playing the back nine twice, for a full round of 18. The back 9 was completely empty. The Starter was an a-hole and bad at his job and spacing out players.

Awesome time in wind and a cold front! Great course, had course to myself, and pretty nice layout.
