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.

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
Great conditions
The course is in great condition, well laid out and a lot of fun to play!
The wildlife is an added bonus
The best executive course around
New greens same great customer service. We love coming out here even when the conditions weren’t so good. The new greens are beautiful and roll great. The course is in near perfect shape. Will definitely be back.
A Great Executive Course
The course re-opened in early Oct 2019 with new greens. As of mid-Oct, the greens are nearly perfect, with a little TLC still occurring around the fringes. This was our first time playing the North (Executive) Course, and it is perhaps the best short course I have played. The maintenance and quality of the course matches their superb South Course. With a 9 handicap, it was a good test of irons, chipping, and putting. My wife also enjoyed the course, playing from the forward of 2 sets of tees. Do not think of this as a beginners course, as even the skilled are challenged a bit with water on nearly every hole.
big Cypress north
17 of 18 greens preped for tear out, awful conditions
May be fine when repairs complete
Good
Nice course, poor greens
We played and enjoyed . Met some friends from home . Cant wait for the greens to be repaired .
5 pars and a birdie day .
Great . The course was a little damp so it held the ball .
Long drive to get to first tee off
Nice layout for an executive course, but you have to drive cart a fair way to get to first tee off. Once there you have only a washroom facility if you want a drink or something to eat you have to drive all the way back to clubhouse to get it. So get everything before you start. Very wet course so if there’s any rain days before it’s always cart path only. I do like the layout, as a beginner it helps on the use of my irons.
Nice exec course .
Course had dried out and was fast . Good value and a fun day .
Nice exec. Course . But needs work.
This is the first time this year we played this course . The greens ,other than th 6th are in terrible shape . The course pro met is on 14 and stopped so say hello . Then thanked us for playing . He realized the badgreens and reminded us to play next year he will be redoing all the greens .
