Cypress Lakes Golf Club

My first time on the course, I hope there is a whole course map on the scorecard to plan my play better.

First time at the course, so much fun. Challenging and a great layout, looking forward to going back, but not to make friends, as you will read. My tee time was at 12:09, I arrived at the first tee at......12:09. I would have been earlier but wasn't exactly sure where the first tee was so I searched around a bit. Carl, the starter, was quite possibly the rudest human being I have ever encountered on a golf course. I thought he was being sarcastic when he told me I was late for my tee time, and when he looked down at his watch it was 12:10, so I got an earful about that. When I realized he wasn't being sarcastic, I made sure to introduce myself and shake his hand to see if that would calm him down, but the rudeness continued. The gentleman at the pro shop was extremely nice and helpful, wouldn't you want your starter to be the same? I mean, this person is the face of the course. Makes me wonder how many people don't come back after how they are treated.

I knew it was going to be a close call finishing but although the last three holes we played were after sunset , thanks to clear skies we were still able to track and find our golf balls and finish. As we shook hands on the last green. golf balls came flying in. Let’s get out of here before we get killed I said to one of my playing partners. The greens were as fast and smooth as a pool table. Perfect 75 degree temps brought out the masses. Great course with the caveat I gave out to fellow golfers on #2 to stay left away from the water. The slope goes down to the water and it’s mowed close to the nap. Number 15 is so long for a par 4.

This course is not worth $90, greens are good, but even the guy at pro shop said course needed water.

Really nice golf course -- now if the golfers would just do their part. I gave course conditions 4 stars instead of 5 not because of anything wrong with the course, but because golfers seem to have forgotten common etiquette around fixing divots, raking bunkers, repairing ball marks on the green... Not just at Cypress Lakes, but everywhere.

The first time I played here about a year ago, greens were under maintenance and barely playable. Greens now are nice and roll true. Course is a little dry in places, but overall a beautiful track.

Staff was friendly and upbeat. We'll definitely be back.

Tee boxes and fairways in reasonably good shape-- could use a little rain or watering.

Greens in spectacularly good shape.

Horrible pace of play. 2.5 hours for each nine. Not a single marshal in sight. Perhaps the Aberdeen two-team tournament killed pace of play...but no one could give an explanation or, better yet, speed up the pace.

The grill, such as it is, was unavailable (again-- the tournament??)

The course was in great shape except for a few bunkers had water from yesterday’s rain. Greens smooth and pretty fast. Pace of play good. First day in a long time it wasn’t smoking’ hot, so that was a big bonus.

I was glad to be playing slower due to 100 degree heat. The 15th hole got me as I three putted across the green despite one of my better approach shots still leaving me well short.

Guy who checked me in was very nice. The starter was rude and smoking a cigarette. Never saw a refreshment cart on the course. Young lady at the snack bar was more interested in closing than serving anyone.

Tee boxes in good shape. A few bunkers are light on sand. Greens are in great shape. Very fast.

The overriding problem is how dry this course is. The lies were terrible. Anything the least bit off the fairway was impossible to hit.

I remember this course being much better.

Have to speed people up waiting 5 to 10 minutes on tee boxes not good.
