Surprisingly nice greens but no fairways

Overall decent course for $10 on golf now. Most of the greens were in surprisingly good shape but pretty much had no fairways. All just regular grass between the tee box and the green.

Still a goat ranch

Weeds instead of grass, rained for the last 2 days so it was a waterlogged swamp today, drainage has never been addressed, as usual. It remains the worst course in Jax, $6.50 plus tax for a small bucket of wore out range balls too.

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS COURSE IS A JOKE! first off the clubhouse is a ran down trailer,the golf carts are gas and i literaly developed a headache from the fumes of the golfcart which in return made me and my partner leave by hole four. The fairways and greens amount to playing on a cow field that has not been mowed in months. This is not a golf course as they claim and is actually a public recreation center in a horrible part of town. They actually allow people to play soccer on the course while your playing golf. GOLFERS BEWARE do not purchase a round of golf at this so-called golf course.

Only go if its a Hot Deal

Greens are in good shape but fairways have more weeds than grass. May biggest issue was the poor cart condition and they have foot golf on the course. When I arrived the cart was covered in dirty water, that I had to clean, then after the turn I found a group of kids kicking soccer balls on the course only to find out they were allowed to do so!

Nice course, great value

Although the greens were slow (apparently not mowed) and some were damaged, the course was in generally good shape. A nice 9-hole course with alternate tees, it was a lot of fun to play. Great value.

Great value.

The price to play was extremely low. The course is challenging with trouble on several holes. The fairways were OK. Lots of weeds but not very many bare spots. The greens were not in very good condition. They are working on them but have a ways to go before they could be considered in good shape.

Can't beat the price but...

I got a great hot deal, mid-week, only $7. Layout is good with a few tight holes. Downside is the greens. They have several greens that have ground under repair. But for the price, I would certainly go back.

Good Value, Friendly Staff and Guests.

Blue Cypress has been a staple for me. It never disappoints. It's in better condition than some major golf courses in the area for half the expense.

Great to walk

If you like to walk when playing golf and if you enjoy friendly faces then definitely check out Blue Cypress in Arlington. No, it's not an uptown course and the layout is a bit clunky but it's an excellent way to spend a couple of hours walking under big shade trees while playing golf. The operators are nice people and the neighborhood is doing everything they can to help keep this nice little community course open. We need more courses like this, particularly for kids just learning to play the game.

Bad customer serivce and bad course maintenece.

I want to make this clear. I used to play here every sunday for 10 bucks through golf now. This course at best is worth 10 bucks a round. No fairways and every green has dirt on it. Yesterday I went with 3 buddies and we spent plenty of money in their clubhouse aka the trailer. Because thats what it is. So as we were leaving. A young man who maybe 14 yrs old, who works for the course, assumed that my friend "smashed a green" with no such evidence to support it. He was going off what people behind us said. So I got extrmely mad how this kid approached me and my friends and I will never go back. Bar none the worst maintained course in jacksonville and the most unproffesional little kid working for their course. I would never recommend it unless you wanna throw away money. You can play at a course twice as nice for a few more dollars. I used to be a customer but now I will never go back.

Maintainance day

They were aerating the greens and only 5 holes were open. Played them 3 times-used different tees each time and had fun. For $7 on Golf now still a good bargain!
Great staff and they try to accommodate everyone.
