Cypress at Palm-Aire Country Club

I have played this course many times over the years. It is well laid out, challenging but fair. it is in great condition, the greens were surprisingly fast considering the amount of rain we have gotten recently. Fairways in good shape and the rough was difficult. Slow group in front of us, I wish there were rangers out to speed them up, but otherwise a good day.

You need to keep your drives in the fairway of this well manicured course. Shot placement a must as front 9 is narrow and challenging. Greens roll true. Staff is great. Great for the money!

Nice course. Good balance of challenges and play. Fun to play here. Probably not the course for a 95 degree day but you won't be disapointed if you play this one. Book the Oaks if you don't drive very long. This course plays long on the back half where the oaks is more forgiving and plays much shorter.

The fairways are starting to fill in nicely. The greens are much better than the last time I played here a couple of months ago. Much less crowded now that the tourist season is over.

We had a great time and the course delivered to expectations. Maybe the refreshment cart should come around more often.

The course layout was awesome and challenging. Excellent value for your money!

A good round of golf for the price. The greens held decently and rolled well for bermuda. A fair amount of water, fairway bunkers, one or two layup holes and some variety in length of par 3's.

Course is in fair shape fairways a bit bare, could use a little TLC. Course is tight so you need to hit it straight.

Nice Course. I enjoyed it.

Fairways are cut way too short, making every shot from the fairway a tight lie shot. At times, it was better to hit from the rough!

Whole experience was greatly diminished by pace of play. Granted, it is high season but ... this round was being played on a "rain check" because a round on the Cypress course a few days earlier required 3 1/4 hours for nine holes. That first time, staff appeared to be push people out to the first tee, where there was no starter to sort out pairings for singles, two-somes, etc. No sign of rangers on the course either. This latest time, there was a starter on No. 1 tee, which was helpful, but again, no rangers apparent. Pace of play only seemed marginally better.
Lies on the fairways were very tight, which I think is a problem for most amateurs.
I must also note the Cypress course has a "starter" outside the pro shop who is surly and discourteous. I would not mention this but for the fact I encountered this fellow a year ago when we were visiting, and such was the bad impression he made then that I recognized him immediately.
I have a cousin who lives here and plays the PGA Champions Tour, and he has respect for Cypress as a course and particularly its greens. Too bad I spent more time dawdling on tees and in fairways than appreciating the course, the weather and my playing companions.

After playing the Palms, the Cypress was a nice alternative . Plenty of choices for the amateur with rolling fairways that help! We played the yellow tees and had fun.Par 4 s are possible. Sand traps well maintained and soft. Staff was very friendly.

The fairways were barren in places and thin in most. We had to allow placing the ball rather than as it lies. There were also 5 twosomes in a row so pace of place was slow.

Great track. Had some interesting holes. A little long for those of us that don't hit the ball as far anymore. White Ts played 6100+. I couldn't reach many par 4s in regulation. Greens were hard to read for me. Would have played the Golds but they were less than 200 yds longer than the reds and playing with my wife she didn't think that was fair. Course needs a set of tees around 5800.

Go play it!! Have fun, nice quick round!! Greens were a bit lush, but still able to read !!

Tight driving areas. Greens very good. Use every club in your bag. Good location in Fort Lauderdale.

No help at the bag drop.
One beverage cart for two courses and the cart driver wasn't happy. Limited beverage choices, no hot dogs.
Tee boxes needed to be mowed.
People using the course to go for walks.

Not a great experience.

There are no marshalls to encourage players to move at a reasonable pace. Players with high handicaps should NOT play from the tips!!!!!!

Love the layout and the course was in great condition. Pace of play was a little slow but the course was enjoyable to make up for that.

Prompt service at the bag drop and easy check in. Large practice green in very good shape, and a driving range off mats and grass into a pond. Tee boxes mostly level with roll-off on the sides. Fairways were in quite good shape, and amazingly dry after all the recent rain. Other than one Par-3, and one long par-4 there was not a carry-the-water shot unless you are way off center, although water is present on a lot of holes. Rough wasn't deep, but was fluffy, so you can expect the ball to drop into the grass. Most all greens are elevated and lightly undulating. These were the best greens we've seen in two weeks of playing - hated to put a ball mark on them, but when we did they repaired easily. Trees came into play on mildly off-line drives, but weren't too intrusive. Sand traps were still a bit wet and hard, though. At $32 (prepaid), it was the best of seven $25-$35/round courses we found in the FtL area.
