Cypress Lakes Golf Club

Imagine my surprise as a 23 year Air Force vet when my foursome discussed how much we paid for our round…that one of us got a veterans discount…and it wasn’t me. Most of use golf now to arrange tee times. Well I’m spreading the word…veterans, you’ll need to call instead of using golf now to get a significant discount. Similarly, Ive been told to call Tour 18 to get a nice senior discount. Hey golf now, how about some transparency on discounts?

About the course, my foursome finished in the dark about 7pm daylight time on a 224 pm tee time. Had to double up as they ran out of carts (on a Thursday). The two in the other cart were having a tough time keeping up. We had some women play through.

I feel like this course packs too many tee times into the day and as such pace is slow on peak days. Just my opinion. Decent price that included range balls.

Need to work on my game after seldom playing this summer. Pace of play was too slow starting out. A foursome ahead of me was taking over five minutes on the green ahead of me on number four. So I skipped it after noticing the group ahead was already finishing number five. Saved that hole for later after my round. Another slow group on number 11 put me in a sandwich on the tee so I joined up with two fellas coming up behind (not same as the earlier slow pokes). We played at a good pace the rest of the way. Lots of bare patches in the fairways and the late afternoon greens were crunchy. This drought has been bad. Obvious that the grounds crew are hand watering around the greens when they can. My approach on nine plugged near the green from the runoff.

Cypress Lakes had some irrigation problems awhile back, and the fairways are still patchy but seem to be on the way back. The pace of play was good & the greens were in excellent condition and pretty quick. Overall very good.

Columbus Day yet good tee times were available at affordable prices. Course was not crowded until we went up against two slow foursomes beginning on # 14. Conditions were variable…good greens, fairways with bare patches and invasive grass patches. Evidence of watering restrictions during a severe drought.

This use to be a well maintained course, not sure what happened but everything is dead. No such thing as a fairway or tee box. Definitely not a $80+ course right now. You can go play other golf courses for a lot cheaper and in much much much better conditions.

The current condition this course is in i would say is equivalent to a $15 round.

Bare dirt fairway. This course is going down hill so quickly. Hopefully it’s getting better when longwood reopens. I’m not going here anymore till they improve the course.

It had been over three months since playing this course due to the extreme heat. Fairways are still recovering, greens are just as good as always.

Course should change fees based on course conditions, this isn’t an $80 round when they can water the fairways

Obviously there is some course management issue that needs to be addressed. In my opinion they shouldn't be charging there customers $90.00 on the weekends to play. Until they fix there course management issue's. I will not return until this happens.

Going to be honest as I can be. I felt like for the price I paid even with a spectator. I felt better playing at an average course near my residence. Greens were extremely slow which was aggrevating. Fairways were like hitting off of Galveston Beach. Don't try to hit out of the bunkers cause you might as well hit off the cart path or a nearby street. The layout was really cool though, tight fairways, elevated greens and tee boxes. Lots of hazard challenges. It's just not worth the 65 a person rate at this point. The cart girl did make her round though. However they did say that their sprinkler system caught on fire a couple months prior, so I'd suggest to wait to come and play this course. I'll try again next year.

Course is in bad shape....understand its hot but other courses in the area that have cheaper green fees are in much better condition. Tee boxes and fairways are awful. Greens are in pretty good shape.

Marshall not enforcing pace of play very well.

The pace was so slow. The club house won't do anything about it.

Also the course us hard as rock due to the explosion of the water pump

Not worth it

This was a solid course where having your driver dialed in will pay off big time. Lots of long par 4s. I’ll definitely be back.

The greens were nice and watered but everything else was basically like hitting off of concrete. Think I snapped more tees just trying to put them in the ground than I did actually hitting off of them. But unfortunately with this Texas heat it seems like this is the norm for most courses in the area right now.
