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 Course
Well kept facilities & course keep up the good work.
Great place
I always like to play here, specially in summer, when is less crowded.
.
Great course as always
We were paired up with a gentleman from N Tampa and he had never played Big Cypress . I told him he was in for a treat. BC is my favorite course so far in Florida. The gentleman from NT said he pays double what BC charges and the courses are maybe half as nice. Once again BC was exceptional.
Would Play Again
They didn't have my reservation at gate, or clubhouse. Was supposed to be paired with others, ended up by myself, which is fine. They let two foursomes go ahead of me while waiting on pairing. Those groups never let me pass. I typically play 18 in less than 1.5 hours, closer to 1 if by myself. Front 9 took 2.5 hours. Played the back nine after I passed them at the turn in about an 45 minutes thanks to a couple others letting me tee off with them, finishing the hole and moving on.
Largest gator ive ever seen on the front 9.
For the course, greens were in great shape compared to others I have seen lately. Sand was raked and high quality. Tee boxes and fairways were better than average as well.
Never disappoints
Excellent as always. Greens roll true and are in great condition. Fairways are in the best condition around considering the lack of rain this time of year. There are a few somewhat rough tee boxes, but again, time of year, and they are still very playable. I have paid a lot more and gotten a lot less recently at other places. This course is very score-able and a ton of fun. If you are playing for the first time and actually “need” to know yardages, bring GPS or Laser…..it will further enhance your experience. And most importantly, play bad fast for everyone’s sake!
Tap your putts
Played last year and returned to South course foe an excellent time. Played twice in the week here. Greens are very fast and greens can be challenging depending on your ball position on green. Some challenging holes but an overall excellent time. Can't wait to come back in October. This course is a must play.
Good course to play
Great course. One of the best course in central fl.
Excellent course
Great fun to play
Definitely back next year
5 hr round
waited at least 5 mins on every shot the entire round, no ranger and over packed course. greens all have substantial slope and speed of greens made play impossible
The greens were very quick.
Overall the course is in good shape for this time of year. The greens were very quick and a little hard to read at times. A good golfing experience was enjoyed.
Great course
Course in good shape for this time of year. Pace of play was slow. Had to wait on every hole
Nice course, good condition
Greens were fast and a little tricky. Pace of play was 4:30. This course is pretty short but need to play with some strategy. Enjoyed my day. Good value on a hot deal.
Dried out
The course was very dried out.. it looks like they do not seed for the winter . They thing I liked about the course was the greens were fast . The retirement community it is in is super busy with members . I’ll just say I’ve met some cool ones and I’ve met some just plain rude ones . If you live in the area it’s working playing but I wouldn’t be driving from a long ways away to play
Good course, Good conditions
Fun, challenging course to play. Very flat. Greens were very good and pins were tough. Active membership, we got caught behind some slow groups but finished in 4.5 hrs.
Staff was very friendly and helpful Nice driving range.
Enjoyed our day. Thanks!
Friendly accommodating staff.
Fantastic course. Beautiful greens. We will be back again and again
