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.

If it has rained, do not go. The driving range was closed and the course was very wet. Even though it hasnt rained in 2 days, it was very soggy and wet.

Been a while

We haven’t played here in over a year obviously with everything going on in the world. New greens are very nice, rolled well, a smidge on the slow side but absolutely fine and held perfectly. Just about everything was in perfect shape. The service here has always been very good, today the same very good. Not real busy on the north course, great place to take your time and work on your wedges and short game. Lots of nature to distract you as well. Go play!

It is all irons

If you are looking to sharpen your short game this is good place. Frankly so easy is boring, but it's in great condition. The restaurant is absolutely pitiful, today they only had 4 options to eat & the food was horrible. Bring your own snack.

Should have known better

I was looking for some place new to take my wife her first time out this year and not have to spend all day. So after reading the review I thought well let give it a shot reviews said Best Executive Course around well obviously by the Title of this review that in my humble opinion is not the case it’s average at best. I will not be returning and if I wanna play a Good executive course there is one in Auburndale, Fl I feel is much better all around The Hamptons Golf & Country Club. But as I said just my humble opinion.

Big Cypress North Executive Course

First time playing the Executive Course at Cypress Lakes. It was cold and very windy today so not many out there this afternoon. I had a lot of fun and played well so that was a huge bonus along with the $20 it set me back with cart. The greens were recently redone and they are hard, true and fast which coming down from soggy cold Baltimore made it feel like mid-season golf in February! EXCELLENT!!
