Bang for your buck
I’ve played here a couple times. The greens are not in the best shape, but the course overall is pretty fun to play. I’m no pro but it’s not too difficult of a course. We had one of the first tee times so pace was smooth the first 9. Once we had to replay the 9 it got really slow because more tee times were played. I think it took an 1.5 hours for the first 9 then prolly 2.5 the second so def slowed up. Played from back tees first 9 then group wanted to do mid tees. Some holes weren’t too much of a difference but others seemed like they pushed the mid tees way farther than normal. I’ve played other 9 hole courses in Jax and this one is my favorite. If you don’t want to spend a lot but want a decent course this is the one. Staff is friendly, no cart girl or clubhouse really just a mobile trailer but for me not too big a deal.
Friendly staff & Great nine hole course.
Positive’s ~ Great value for a 9 hole course . The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The layout is pretty simple but yet challenging. The greens were in good condition considering how cold it’s been. The carts were clean and in good working condition. The snacks and beverages were reasonably priced.
Needs work ~ (1) The first thing I noticed was most of the tee boxes were in poor condition with divots and being un-level. ( maybe add some divot sand buckets at each tee box for players to use) (2) the pace of play on this particular day was the worst I’ve ever seen it. We had to wait 10-15 minutes after every shot and it got to be so frustrating we decided to leave before the end of our game. ( was the course overbooked? ) (3) No facilities on the course which is understandable for a friendly budget business.
Overall ~ Awesome staff! Great valued course and fun to play.
Nice 9 hole facility
First the positives - the staff was extremely friendly and the cost to play was very affordable. The beverages and snacks were very well priced. The layout of the course was very forgiving yet challenging at times. The greens were in good condition considering the season and colder weather. The carts were clean and ran great.
The things that need improvement - Most of the Tee boxes were very chewed up with divots. Maybe add a bucket of sand on each Tee box. The pace of play was very slow and had to wait 7-10 minutes after every shot. It seemed as if the course was over booked because everyone was waiting and it killed the game play. The directions that were provided on the GN app was completely wrong and lead us in the wrong direction of the course. May need updated.
Over all good course and I will be a returning customer !
Great Public course for Beginners / Amateurs
18 handicap, love this 9 hole course as I think it’s a great value for beginners and most players. Real grass golf range with small and large buckets for 5/10$. 9/18 hole prices vary by season but are usually between 20-30$ w/ cart. Overall course is decently maintained and greens were better than most area of fairways. 2 par 3s, 2 par 5s, 5 par 4s. Fairly flat course with pins visible from tee box, occasional water to hit over or dogleg to go around.
No real clubhouse to speak of or bathrooms on the course itself but there is a bathroom indoors where you check in. Small trailer near putting green with basics drinks and snacks to check in and get going. No Marshall so pace of play has been hit and miss the few times I’ve went out. 4/5
Beginners Course
Kind of a wild west, no rules enforced feelingbat this course. Nearly all holes were straight down the middle with no real challenge. The players here fit the suit of it being a beginner's course. For anyone that shoots a 120 on 18 holes, I'd recommend they come here and learn to hit straight. For anyone under 100 on 18 holes, you should choose better than this. Also waited to tee off on each hole for groups in front. They were decent, just course too full. Pace of play - almost 3 hrs for 9 holes.
Good Value
Friendly staff.Good prices, relaxing decent pace. Course needs work but decent quality for the price!
Nice people and fun course
Just really enjoy Blue Cypress. Pete and Greg are super and the course is fun and typically in good shape.
A pleasant surprise
Considering all the rain we have had in this area the course wasn't remarkably good shape. It has the basic driving range and putting green which were indecent shape and the only issue would be there is no starter or someone to keep track of the golfers coming around to play the second nine. It is just walk up or drive up to the T to play your second round of 9 if you were playing 18 for the day. Overall I would give it a four-star for being a city/county golf course.
Good remodel
They’ve done a good job with the remodel of this course. Very short and very easy. Greens rolling well. Fairways filling in nicely. Two par fives should be long par fours. Overall a fun little track to play nine.
Excellent Course. Good time. Will be back
Quality course. Friendly staff. Great golf carts. 9 holes took us a couple hours which was perfect for an afternoon of fun
Just a fun round
Was a little crowded but nothing bad. Course conditions continue to improve with all the greens being great, 5 of 7 fairways are great but most of the tee boxes need work. Still, just a fun round on a fairly easy and fun course. Really enjoy this place
Getting even better
Fairways are growing in more, but they cut the greens closer and their rolling great. ☺️ Still slow as usual, but always enjoyable waiting in the tree shade.
Enjoyable Round
Love to play this course. Greens are the best around. Fairways are good but with some bare spots. Tees are good.
