Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2019. See Grand Cypress - New listing for the remaining opened 18 holes.

Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando boasts four 18-hole championship courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. There is one 18-hole links course and three nines that are played in three different combinations. The South/East combination provides numerous challenges but it is also complemented by more player-friendly features. The South nine is one of the resort's original nines, the other being the North. The layout features terraced fairways and platform greens that are surrounded

by contoured mounding and yawning bunkers. The East nine is more forgiving with generous landing areas and fewer bunkers, especially in front of the greens, which allows for more run-up shots.

All by myself

I had a 2 pm tee time and I was all by myself. The greens & fairways were in great shape, Like the ideal of having plenty of water around the course. Had a great time, will do it again.

This is a great golfing complex.

We booked with Golfnow for a 9.00am T Time and replay round on Saturday 31st August 2013 for $44, to play the North & South courses, however, we turned up at 8.00am for breakfast and to check in early, when we were told that they had competitions on all courses? So, they had us Tee off at the New course N0.10, we were not told that all the greens had been punched and the pace was slow, but did speed up when we made the turn. Our replay round on the North & South at 1.30, we sat behind 3 x 4 balls on the Tee, so we did complain to the starter and the starter said go and start on the South course as it was so busy, the grren had also been punched and we soon got behind the slow groups in the competition. The East course was a breath of fresh air with 8 out of 10 for the greens and play pace. The new 9 holes constructed look very nice from a distance! I hope this will speed play up as we have been playing here for many years, but the play pace lately is killing this beautiful complex.

Best Course in Central Florida

Played all day for $49 and the NSE courses are my favorites. Fast greens that must be studied or you could easily 3 and 4 putt. Closest greens I have played that make you feel like your playing the US Open. The New Course is a wide open links style with plenty of pot bunkers. I thoroughly enjoy each and every time I play at Grand Cypress and would highly recommend this golf venue.

Great Course

It's one of the top courses in Central Florida if not the best in my opinion. If you haven't played the course your missing the boat. The North and South are the best courses they have unless you like to play links style then the New Course is where you need to play.Give this course a try and i promise you won't be disappointed.

This course is a most play!

The course is challenging for any of the tees. Conditions were great, green rolled very good even though you can tell that they aerated them a few weeks ago. Great experience!

Fun and interesting course

We played all three 9 hole courses as we scored a GolfNow all you can golf special for $50. I would rate the course as a 5; however, the greens were full of sand from recent maintenance. If they were in their usual condition then I could say that this is one of the nicest courses I have ever played in Florida. The signature 5th hole island green par 3 on the east course was something I looked forward to all week.

Great resort!

Excellent golf resort! Still one of the best in Orlando area. Greens were still a bit bumpy from aerification, but rest of course in pretty good shape. Challenging green complexes surround several holes.

Great price Great Experience

THe East course was closed for a photo or t.v. shoot but this was not mentioned on the Golf Now web site. Unlimited play was great! I played 36 holes (north/south and The New Course). The New Curse was in perfect condition except some of the tee boxes.

Nice course but greens not great

The greens were being aerated and were absolutely horrible. North course was under construction so not really that great.
However, played the new course on the Monday and it was great!!

Greens on the North course were just aerated, so putting wasn't good but a terrific layout

We have been getting lots of rain so some areas of the fairway were soggy. Greens were excellent for the non aerated 9 played. Challenging over the water shots, with some long 4 pars and some short 4 pars, as well as a shot island green.

Amazing

The course was a real value for the money. I have played a lot of golf and never faced such challenging yet fun greens to putt on. Birdies can be plentiful if you are on the right level.

A Memorable Golf Outing

Greens were excellent; uniform, true roll, good speed(10). Tee boxes, fairways, rough, aprons all perfect. Not a difficult course. Fun to play. Staff was great. Felt like they did everything top notch to make it an overall experience you will remember for a long time.
