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

There are three Jack Nicklaus-designed nines at Grand Cypress Resort that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The East/North course presents an interesting set of challenges. The North nine was built in 1984 and underwent a complete renovation two decades later. The improved layout has terraced fairways, mounding, and platform greens with yawning bunkers. There are generous landing areas to provide some relief from the vigorous challenges. The East golf course is slightly more player friendly with fewer bunkers in front of the greens, allowing for more run-up shots. In addition to the three nines, Nicklaus also designed a traditional links course that is an homage to the renowned St. Andrews Old Course.

Perfect day of golf with my sons

Our tee-off was around 8:50 and we were driving our balls down the fairway by 8:55. The pace of play was just right. The group ahead of us was just pulling out of the way every time and we never felt pressure from the group behind us. The course was in great shape with lush fairways and challenging greens. Kudos to the friendly staff inside the pro shop and out on the course. Top notch all the way.

Nice track but....

I have played Grand Cypress a couple of times. Most recently, I played the North/South combo and thought both nines were really good, fair layouts. As this is the “high” season, however, all resort courses feel entitled to inflate their rates even though most courses, including Grand Cypress, are not in great shape because of the recent dry conditions and heavy play. While the greens were fast, they were pretty hard and bumpy from inconsiderate golfers not repairing/tamping down their ball “dents”. Fairways were thin and spotty in places with a ton of unrepaired divots. I ran out of sand well before the home hole trying to repair divots around my ball in the fairways. Pace of play, however, was very good with a 4:15 round. Overall, I don’t think GC is worth the premium fee they now require, especially for locals like me. Come October, however, I will be back when the price is more reasonable and the course is in better shape.

Challenging Greens

This is the first time playing Grand Cypress. We normally try to play one higher end course during our one week stay. This was our fourth round for the week and we have become accustom to 5 hour rounds. We enjoyed the course, player friendly for all levels. A lot of water but the fairways are generous. I loved the multi tiered greens, very challenging and unlike anything we would normally see. Very enjoyable round and was able to save considerably by booking through Golf Now. The only negative was that the bunkers weren’t raked from previous play. I would give them a pass for that on this day as there was a tournament in front of us.

Great course

Great course, but my only issue is when you make the turn we went into the clubhouse to get some food and it seemed as though they discourage it by telling us that they have no food options inside that is quick. They tell you to go back on the course as the cart girl has sandwich’s. They said to let the Marshall know and he will call the cart. It took 4 holes before she showed up and I was starving the whole time. They need a better way to deal with golfers who are making the turn!

They might want to consider an option where the golfer can call from the 8th hole to place an order for food like a burger or something that would be ready when they finish the 9th hole.

Some challenging holes

The North course was more open than the South course, but still had some challenging holes. The South course had some really challenging elevated greens with water and sand traps at the sides. The mounding sometimes made it difficult to see where the ball went.

Nice layout

This is a good course, definitely worth playing, but like most courses in central Florida in the dry season, thin fairways and greens.

Nice course but the pace of place was slow, greens were chewed up a bit.

When we got on the second tee the marshal said there were 4 foursomes ahead of us and one group was 2 holes behind (!).So clearly need to move that group a hole up or they should offer them a rain cheque to come back another day. Slow golf is not fun. Alot of pitch marks not repaired as well.

Great course

Had a great day as I was paired up with 3 other guys on a buddies trip. I made some new friends playing this challenging course. No complaints here. Well conditioned for the amount of traffic that this course gets daily. The practice facilities are excellent and the clubhouse has free wifi. I'll be back!
