Big Cypress Golf Club is home to two golf courses, the championship South Course and the executive North Course. Located in Lakeland, Big Cypress is situated between Orlando and Tampa. The courses are part of a gated retirement community called Cypress Lakes. The North is less challenging and offers a gentler version of the South that is more approachable to beginners. It is a fairly narrow layout that features tree-lined fairways and strategically placed sand bunkers. Water also has a strong presence on the course, coming into play on a total of 12 holes. The layout is player-friendly and offers several risk-reward opportunities. It is a great for beginners and more advanced players will enjoy it for a quick round or a warm-up for the South Course. In addition to the two golf courses, there is also a driving range and putting green.

Fun Executive course!

This executive course is perfect for those not wanting to play a full 18 while still looking for a challenge. There are a lot of wetlands surrounding the fairways making stray shots become lost balls. The greens were in good condition and the pace of play was excellent.

Executive Course

The course was in good condition and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Pay on this course is tight on many holes. The greens were good but slower than some of the other courses we have been playing.

If you want to play an 18 hole executive course with some 250 to 300 yard par 4's, this is a very good choice.

Challeging executive course

This course is well maintained with an attractive layout. Some fairways are a little tight with woods and hazards but playable. There are enough sand traps and water hazards to make this short course challenging, but fun to play.

Cypress Lakes North Course

Excellent conditions. Due to threat of rain we were alone on the course. If you pay normal rates at the club house the course is over priced. Par 60 executive course. Their par 72 is in even better condition and equally over priced. They do have a real nice club house (bar snd restaurant) and pro shop. The staff is helpful and friendly. If you are watching your funds, with some research, you will find that you will do better elsewhere.

Great Little Course

This is a great executive course. The greens were in great shape compared to others I've seen so far in the area. Challenging layout requires good course management and shot shaping. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pace of play was great even though we were playing as a threesome. Finished the round in 2 hours. If you're looking to work on your short game and have a little fun at the same time, give this course a try.

Excellent course to play

We really enjoyed the course, water made shorter course more challenging. The staff was very friendly and the pace of play was outstanding. Greens had a great ball roll and were well taken care of. The wildlife was a plus for the outstanding condition of the course.

Tough Track

A real test from the tips. Need to play it a couple times to score well. Couple tough carries off the tee. Conditions were excellent. Greens are plush but a little slow about 9. Little bit wet. Really nice layout by Ron Garl. Will play it again!
