Rating Snapshot
About
Big Cypress Golf Club is part of a gated golf retirement community called Cypress Lakes. Conveniently located between Orlando and Tampa, the club offers two golf courses, the North and the South. The South Course is a championship layout that is more challenging than the executive-length North Course. Both courses are characterized by the abundance of water and swaying palms, offering the best of Florida golf. The South Course plays a long 6,680 yards from the back tees. The course presents a more demanding test than the North, appealing to more advanced players. Florida Golfer and Senior Golfer have recognized its challenging layout for its excellent conditions and design. Maintenance is a top priority at Big Cypress; on both courses the well manicured fairways and greens are consistently in good shape.

Great Small Course
What a great Executive Style course! Unlike most Executive courses, the maintenance staff here maintain the course conditions equal to the Championship Course; well done.
My only negative comment is being told that the Course Rules do not allow people to walk the course. I did not find this out until #14 when the Ranger, great guy from Buffalo, NY, was sent out to investigate someone pushing a baby carriage around the course. Apparently some local residents mistook my pushcart for a baby carriage..OMG Peolple!! After the round, the Ranger explained that the local course rules do not allow walkers and that they would confirm this with the GM on Monday for when we cone back....
Pick the Right Tee Markers
Excellent course and very well maintained. Took 4:15 to play and the guys in front of us played from the tips and spent every hole in the woods looking for balls, yes even the Par 3s...Gentlemen, if you cannot hit at least 200yds off tee and consistently in play, move up a tee box or 2, you'll enjoy the round more...
Every hole a fair challenge
Had a great Friday afternoon on this course. Staff were very friendly, the course in good shape, especially the greens and every hole presented a different challenge.... thoroughly enjoyed it.
Nice course
The course was very nice. Lots of wildlife. Watch out for some big 🐊! Need to have a ranger on the course. We were held up by a very slow 2 some. Made it almost a 5 hour round.
Lots of water. Playing for first time was challanging because of not knowing landing areas.
Big cypress south course
This is a gem of a golf course. The greens were excellent shape and cut for a medium to fast speed. The fairways were in great shape. Well maintained course. Great setting and saw a few gators.
Spooky
This course is in very good shape . The tee box are level with lots of grass and not beat up. The greens were true to roll and in great shape. The fairways also were in great shape. I would recommend playing this course if visiting Florida. The pins were in tricky spots as the ranger named Ray explained we were playing after and before local tournament called Spooky, more like pro shop revenge.
Great course
Highly recommend. All the staff are very proud of their course
Great Course
Nothing not to love about this course, greens were amazing also!!!
Nice Greens
The best greens I have played inside a month. The fairways camber to the right where most cartpaths are located. Result balls rolling off into the trees despite hitting the fairways.
Beautiful Greens , I would rate them a 10
Beautiful course well-maintained. Friendly staff. Great value. Keep up the good work.
Best value
For the money this may be one of the nicest courses I've ever played. The greens are the truest nicest greens I've putted on. The staff was top notch. The local golfers were experienced and awesome! The views are impeccable and overall course was great. I played from the black tees and the box's were impeccable. I did see a few white and green box's that could use a little love but I would highly recommend this course and will return again to play!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We apologize for any difficulties you experienced due to unfamiliarity with the landing areas. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll give us another chance to provide a more enjoyable experience in the future.
