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.

I expected a "normal" golf course

First, I know it was MY fault, I should have read the description more accurately.

I was expecting a "normal" golf course but the north course is a better academy course.

There are 12 par 3 holes and 6 par 4 holes. And even 2 of the par 4 holes are such that you have to play with a wedge first.

The course itself is in very good condition and the greens are very good. Also the staff was very friendly.

But I would have one important suggestion for improvement: There are no signs how to get to the north course and especially how to get back. We got so lost in the community, where all the streets and houses look the same, that it took us almost half an hour to get back to the clubhouse.

Put up more signs or give guests a map copy that shows the way.

Pretty much perfect

First off Mr. Rich in the pro shop that checked me in is one of the nicest people I’ve met. He’s always very pleasant and helpful. Starter was as nice and got us off with no issues. The north course was a bit a busy but to be expected with the perfect weather. Course conditions are pretty perfect so go play!!

Big cypress executive

First time playng. Fairways and greens were in great shape, tee boxes not so much. Greens rolled true and were FAST..

Only thing that I found lacking were signs to the course and especially signs from the north coast back to the main clubhouse. Non-existent. Otherwiase, great day and will try to get back.
