South Course at Big Cypress Golf & Country Club
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 greens
These are the best green I have played in Florida. They are in fabulous shape, fast, firm and fair. Good layout, a few tricky tee shots but fair. I will definitely play it again.
Great venue, great value
Beautiful course, well laid out and maintenance is very good. Good variety of holes, water everywhere and some great par threes. Pro shop staff can be described as efficient without being welcoming or friendly. Super value for money, highly recommend a visit.
Nice course and the greens are extremely fast!
Enjoyed our round and look forward to playing there again!
Worth the drive from Orlando/Davenport area
Firstly I was quite impressed to see the fairways have grass and so does the tee boxes ! Most courses tend to cut the grass too low. The greens are lighting fast (probably 14 on the putt scale).
Most likely the fastest greens in Central Florida, and I must say that all greens are super nice too. This course is well manicured, hats off to the green's keeper and staff.. The only thing I would improve on is adding flowerbeds
The staff treated me like one of their members and with class. From the proshop (Rich), the Starter/Marshall Jeff and another gentlemen who was coordinating the Can-Am tournament that day, I must say the staff is super friendly.
Driving from Orlando and Davenport was a bit far, but I enjoyed the course so much that I will be back.
I even drove around the neighborhood after the game and noticed a few houses for sale, and thinking this is a great area and course I'd like to belong to from a snowbirds perspective.
Dry
I love this course but no water on fairways. It’s been so dry it eating up the fairways and tee box’s. The greens are like glass but in good shape. It’s really hard for me to pay $70. I love the layout and staff. Recommend giving it a couple of months to green up before playing.
great course
Big Cypress is always in great shape and the greens are fast!!
The starter wasn't kind. He even got mad when I asked the question. I don't want to go this course again, because of him.
Still waiting for my Lunch
We love this couirse and play it every year. However, not being a member is a handicap!
Waitress and Bartender were fantastic and tried their best but our lunch order got overlooked so many times we would've missed our tee time. After waiting for well over an hour we had to give up and leave the restaurant.
Slick greens
One of the best courses in the area. Great layout, challenging fairways. Super fast greens. Pace of play was pretty slow this day 4-1/2 hrs.. Friendly staff. Always make a point to play this course when in the area.
Superfast greens
Tee box so so, fairway ok and greens are in great shape and very very very fast. For me, it does not worth the trip from Orlando.
Enjoyable Course
The course is in fair to good condition. Teeboxes are the weakest element; fairways and greens are good. The pace of play was four hours. This course features a lot of habitat rather than weaving around housing, so you can see some wildlife.
It is really enjoyable to play, especially recommended for seniors and mid- to high-handicappers, although the back tees will give low-handicappers a reasonable challenge.
Good test of Golf
Played from the green tees (about 6,000 yards), plenty of water to keep your attention. Greens were very fast, so if you’re above the hole, it can turn into a 3 putt. You need to know the distances and trust your club selection. 13-14 holes has water that comes into play. A couple of holes, you have to basically hit it between the goal posts or should I say trees. It will definitely test your golf skills. Bring at least a sleeve of balls, maybe two sleeves (just so you can finish the round or get a few golf balls from your buddies). Either way, enjoy!!!
The course has some of the fastest greens i've played on.
Great course it has a lot of challenging holes if u haven't played there its worth checking it out.
