North Golf Course at Big Cypress Golf & Country Club
About
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.

Not Open
No body at the golf course let Golfnow know that they closed the golf course for the day because of wet conditions. So we drove 35 miles to find out at the gate that the golf course was closed for the day. Golfnow has refunded our money.
Nice short track!
Liked this executive course. Good greens and surrounding areas for chipping. Par 4's are tight but fair. They throw pretty much 1 trap at each green to make you think.
Fun short course
Looks easy, but quite challenging. Lots of twists and turns.
First time at this course. Played with my husband. Will definitely come back!!
Nice Course!
This course is nestled in a 55+ community in North Lakeland. Course was in awesome shape. Saw some deer and a bunch of swamp puppies. Greens were fast and a great shape. Attendants were friendly.
The executive course is quite the haul over to the #1 tee, but it makes the course better not playing around a bunch of houses. Would like to see snacks/concessions at the turn, since the restaurant is too far away to hit mid round.
We got unlucky with a 4 some showing up 40 minutes early and trying to hop in front of our time slot. We kept pretty good pace until a 2 some came back to play #10 and hopped in front of us. Then the 4 some hit into us. Didn’t yell 4 or anything. Not the best golf etiquette, but you’ll find people like that anywhere you go.
Amazing course
Truly impressed with the north course fairways and greens I can’t wait to come back and play the south course. Best greens in central fl
Perfect right now
Great conditions, greens little slow. Awesome executive course.
Great little track
Checked in with Mr. Rich in the pro shop, nicest person I've met I think. Course is in good condition, greens are a little sticky but rolled well. Tee boxes are a bit stressed but still very playable. It rained recently so the bunkers were all wet as you can imagine. Lots of nature out here to look at, especially as slow as the pace was on this day. It was a Sunday mid afternoon so we expected it to be slower than usual. All good, we enjoy this place.
