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.

Wet conditions
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!
I played the exsecutive course and it was very challenging and fun there is another course the south course (championship) course looked even bette can't wait to play that one. Fantastic grounds had a blast. Loved it.
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.
Perfect conditions
Best executive course around. Friendly service, great course not much more to ask for.
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!!
NICE WARM DAY IN LAKELAND
NICE COURSE GREAT PRACTICE COURSE, GREAT GREENS FAIRWAYS VERY GOOD. NICE PEOPLE IN PRO SHOP AND ON THE COURSE.
Friendliest staff around, course is good too
Love coming here, treated like a member check-in is always easy and the course is in amazing shape. Absolutely love this place.
Great for iron practice.
Great pace of play, took 2 hours for 18 holes. Conditions were very good & helps improve your short game.
Immaculate
In the best shape I think I’ve ever seen it. New greens are still hard, obviously because they’re new but wow they roll fantastically. Absolutely love coming here and the service is always very welcoming. Beautiful scenery and great place to work on your irons.
Greens were in great condition
Nice par 3/4 north course. Very tricky front nine. Got hang of it on back nine!
Great
A fantastic little course to only bring out your irons and work on your game
