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.

Absolute gem

First off Mr. Rich and Jeff in the shop were a breath a fresh air, they're always so nice and accommodating. The north course had recently been aerated but still in really good shape all in all. Another week or two the greens will be ideal. Great layout plenty of challenge and a great place to dial in your wedge game.

Decent course for getting reps in

It's a short executive course where your ability to control your shots are rewarded. It's not an overally difficult track but you won't be hitting bombs on it. If you want to hone your skills, give if a go but don't use the expensive balls.

Excellent Course to Play!

We're definitely playing here again! The staff was very friendly and helpful and the course is in excellent condition, particularly the fairways and greens. The greens run fast and true. [Hint: avoid downhill putts. 🙂] If I had a complaint, it would be that some of the par 3 tees are in rough shape, but that's expected considering divots are taken from a small area every day.
