Grand Cypress - South/East

It was a very nice course to play and the rate through Golf Now was very good.

This place is pure! Perfect playing conditions, greens were MONEY,

There are three nines comprising the original golf course at Grand Cyprus. The North and South nines were the first to open, in 1984, and were the nines comprising the round of golf for this review. Nicklaus courses put a premium for accurate golf shots into the greens. Hit in the wrong spot and you're left with a difficult up-and-down, or two-putt, depending whether your inaccurate shot ended up on the green. Personally, I get lots of difficult shots, yet somehow I appreciate what he has done. This is really a fun course to play.
The greens are very fast, and when you couple that with the undulations there are places where 3-putts might be the best you can do. I am trying to learn not to go to those places.

The fairways were in very good condition. and the rough was, well, rough. I asked once about the lack of sand on the carts for repairing divot holes. The answer was that they believe it is their job to maintain the course. I don't mind sanding my divot holes, but I like their philosophy.

About my ratings: I played during some bad weather, by myself. I zoomed around the course. That is not usually the case. I rated the course pristine. Probably that is overstated. I had the chance to go to Augusta National for a practice round a few years ago. That was pristine! But Grand Cyprus does a really good job with keeping their courses in great shape, and with only three choices, I couldn't pick the "average" one. As for the value, I picked up a hot deal, but the course is well worth what they are asking if you don't mind a hard golf course.

Former home of an LPGA event, this facility remains top-notch! Aside from 45 beautiful holes, the proshop and restaurant provide amazing services. This is a must play. My golf buddies were thrilled and we can't wait until we are fortunate enough to return. :)

Course is in great shape. One of the best places to play in central Florida.

Was able to get away for an afternoon of golf on a Thursday. Grand Cypress is one of the premier resort courses in the Orlando area, and as always, was in pristine condition. Most amazing part is that 18 holes of golf at one of the top courses in the area only cost $14 plus tax.

I was able to play 18 in around 3 hours. Tee Time was at 12PM. Played the North/South. Paid for the unlimited golf I was only able to play 4 extra holes due to the rain. The bar staff was extremely helpful.

South course is amazing. East course is nice but not as nice as the south. South is supposed to be harder but i scored better on it than the east.

Played 27 holes (all 3 nines on old course) in 5 hours on an unlimited play special. We caught up to the foursome ahead of us a couple of times but did not really slow us down. Nobody ever caught up behind us. A couple of the greens were not in perfect condition but overall the course still earns a "pristine" rating. I was surprised that a course of this caliber did not have free range balls but even factoring that in it was still a great value.

Excellent conditions. Staff was very accommodating. I will play here again very soon.

Played Grand Cypress yesterday for the first time after reading numerous positive reviews. My Father & I have been holidaying in Florida now for around 20 years & this is one of the only courses I had not played, so I was excited to see what it offered!

The greeting & instal meeting with staff where good, followed by a smooth transition over to the driving range which had a beautiful setting with quality balls.

The carts have GPS & we found our way over to the South 9 which we played first ver easily. We Really enjoyed the layout & thought the greens ran very true & quick. Like most Nicklaus courses there is a premium on accuracy off the tee, which then rewards birdie chances into the green. After a quick (it took us around 1hr 30mins to get around) we transferred over to the East 9 smoothly. Personally I didn't think the East offered the same kind of challenges as the South & was much shorter in length. I also did not think the greens ran as quickly or smoothly & looked like they had recently had maintenance completed on them.

Overall my experience was good. I don't think it's the best course in the area, but it has an enjoyable layout & the North may be a better choice than the East (the offer we bought allowed us to play all 3 nines, but we decided against doing so). I would recommend it if you haven't played there & are looking for an all day golf deal!

Played North/South. Course is always in excellent condition. Greens are fast and roll true. The new course is my favorite. There is no other course like it in Central Florida.

P.S. Has the best ice and water stations around.

The South nine was fun and in excellent condition. The east nine was recently punched and the greens were not very good. However, the remainder of the course was in good shape. The GPS system on the carts was outstanding. The staff were very accommodating and easy to deal with. The first nine was fast - no one in front of us. The second nine was 2.5 hours. We waited on every shot.

We got a great price for this resort style course.Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our round.We had a great lunch after the round and we were on our way.I look forward all week long for this type of weekend day.

I was looking forward to playing this course, showed up an hour and 15 mins later, when I went to register a person name Scott, he was kind of cordial but when he looked in the computer and realized I was playing through golf now his whole demeanor changed, he looked at me like I was a fly or a maggot. His body language just changed, did not even offered us range balls or anything. He just told us," We can not check you in at this time" made us feel like we were less important because we were playing through golf now. I know that we get great rates and all but when we go to those nice courses we tip and consume at their regular prices. We should be treated like anybody else. Course is in great shape and I had a blast playing it.

Sincere hospitality at all encounters w/ staff.

Courses are meticulously maintained.

We played all three. North South and East. Did not play the New Course this time. All thee in very good condition. The design is good. Gives golfers an option on all holes so those new to the game have a way to get to the green Recommend highly.

Great course. Not sure I would be willing to pay to full rate in peak season but still a beautiful course. Course was well maintained from tee to green. The greens rolled true and held, can't ask for much more. The only blemish for me was a stretch of two or three holes at the end of the south course where it looked unifinished. The holes were finished but cart paths needed work and it looked like there was still some surrounding maintenance to be done. I hate feeling like I'm golfing in a work zone.

Played the North/South course. The course is in great condition. There is plenty of water and sand, there are raised undulating greens all this presents a good challenge. This is the best course I have played so far this holiday. Well worth the fees.

You can never go wrong with any of the grand cypress courses
