Grand Cypress Golf Club - Links Course

Prepare yourself for a slow round especially on the weekend. Other than that the place is outstanding. Recommend sneaking in on a week day to avoid the weekend warriors playing from the tips when they probably shouldn't be.

For people like me that love wide open fairways, this course is the best. Having said that, with the traps being set all over the place and the water right in front of a number of greens and the green undulation make a ton of the pin placements very diffucult, the course is sneaky difficult. It was just an awesome time (first off on a friday at 8am), the course was in great shape and the value was ridiculous($50) for the course.

Played the New Course (no its not new,1988) at Grand Cypress and found it to be as Challenging as you wanted it to be. There were several Tee options for all Levels of Golf. Considering the amount of Rain that the Orlando area had, this course Drained Very Well and was in Great Condition. If you have never played this course, IT's a Must Play! The Greens were shared by two holes, one out (Yellow Flags) and one in (White Flags) . These Greens are massive and no way interfered with the other holes. The only Complaint we had, was that the Pins were Cut just over mounds causing some very Nasty Putts. The Pins WERE NOT cut with pace of play in mind. But over all, would Play this course without a doubt over again.

First time playing Grand Cypress and decided to play the New Course because it was a links course, mimicked St. Andrews, and just looked beautiful in pictures I had seen. Tee'd off at 8am and played in 4.5 hours. Course was in fantastic shape from Tee to Green. You could tell they had aerified the greens somewhat recently, but they were recovering well and rolled well. We found a great deal on GolfNow and cannot wait to go back. Cart girl was out and there were ice and water stations on the course as well. I highly recommend this Gem in Orlando, FL!

The course is always a pleasure and the GolfNow rate made it so much more enjoyable. The course is in great condition and pace of play was perfect

Interesting course to play in Florida With shared greens and silken burn and st Andrews style bridge The course was in excellent condition Plenty of room off the tee but with lots of well placed bunkers Definately worth playing!

I have played the old course at Grand Cypress but never this one. So it was a very pleasant surprise to play something completely different that the other course. Pot bunkers, wide fairways, lots of twists and turns made for a fun and manageable round.

Shared greens were a challenge. Difficult to determine fairway for each course. Fairway moguls/bunkers were a challenge.

There was a group of seven ahead of us. We were just two and they did not offer to let us play through. We went around them on one hole.

Green fee was good value, but purchasing refreshments on course was ridiculously expensive for the quality of the food.

This was an absolute treat to play. This is very different then nearly every other course in Orlando. The course was in fantastic shape, especially given the recent drought. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend checking this course out if you have never played it before. Make sure to miss in the correct spots out here, otherwise, you may leave yourself some tough up-and-downs!!

Highly recommend course. Booking was easy and service great. Carts didn't have GPS so would have liked a more detailed map one on back of card small and just bunker positioning in cart. Matched up with another couple which was nice. Would visit again and we had some bar starter food yummy.

Beautiful layout, extremely dangerous bunkers, big greens and no trees.

Great place to score and to play with friends (or bet with then).

The course conditions was very good considering the drought situation. The fairways were very wide. The widest I have ever played. However there were bunkers everywhere. I does not matter how long or short you hit the ball there was a bunker there requiring some measure of aim or luck to avoid. The greens were in good condition, receptive to good shots, and rolled good.

There was not as much break on many of the putts as I was reading into them.

Playing in a foursome we caught another group about half way through the round who slowed our play a bit ergo the lower pace of play rating.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to play again on a future trip to Orlando area.

Played the New course for the first time. Very fun to play and interesting design. Signed up as a single. Pro shop asked if I'd move up a few minutes to be paired with a twosome. Arriving at first tee, starter was unhappy they had done that. Requested I drive out to second hole and join another group. Wasn't thrilled with this but I did it. Expected better service from a place like Grand Cypress. I'll play there again though, course itself was great.

The layout of the course is very unique relative to neighboring courses in the area. Conditions were great with only exception being greens rolling somewhat on the slow side. Cloud cover mixed in with some wind made for an authentic feel on the links style course for the day. Will definitely return.

Always in GREAT shape. They have three other 9's so they always rotate the maintaince and give first class conditions. Greens were fast, as usual. Its wide open off the tee, definitely a second shot course. Many tee selections for varying abilities. Lots pot bunkers you don't see until you in them. A course once you play 1-2 times you can really score well on by avoiding trouble.

I had been wanting to play this course for a long time. Finally I was able to. To simply say the experience was far and above my expectations, would be an understatement. I , and my friend , found the course and layout was worth the price. We will most definitely play this New course again.

Greens were rolling fast. Course had a great layout. It's nice to play links golf in Florida. I will play again next time I'm up in the area. Teed off early and virtually has no one in front on the front 9. When we played the back, guys in front had a very slow scramble in front of us. Besides that. Worth every penny.

Great links course! Greens are as tough as you'll find anywhere.
