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.

Very nice
Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great condition. The greens had more rolls than a bakery. Lucky for me I like circus putts. My partner had a lot of 3 & 4 putts. We had several medium showers, but the course drained like a champ.
The course has some interesting holes.
First time I played it this year it is a must play course.Great shape !
Beautiful Course
Conditions were absolutely great! Thoroughly enjoyed our game!
Great Place
This is a great, fun course to work on most aspects of the game. Generally the pace of play is swift and if you get a good group then Big Cypress wont disappoint
Best greens in Polk County
Course was in great condition today(10/01/19.) pace of play was very good. Cannot say enough about how nice the greens were.
Nice Track
The course was very wet from recent rain, cart path only, so that detracted from things, but I was very impressed with the condition of the course. Zoysia greens, which I don't think I've ever played before, were really nice, the superintendent is doing a great job with these. Interesting holes, lots of woods and water if you don't keep it straight but pretty forgiving overall. If you haven't played here, give it a try, I think you'll like it.
Enjoyable Course
Really fun course with a few challenging holes. Was in excellent shape considering allot of rain the day before. Pace of play was great allowing for an enjoyable round. Would definitely play again.
Great in all aspects!
Greens roll silky smooth, not too fast and not too slow.
Staff is friendly and well organized as to get you out on time and spaced out perfectly.
Great course conditions and layout.
Priced right, this course is a favorite!
Fun course and the Course was in really good condition
Pro - Had a great time playing on this course. The course was well kept and worth the price. Would definitely recommend it to a friend.
Con - this is a 55+ community, so expect to have club members in their 60’s-70’s on the course. Just have to be patient enjoy the day.
Hidden Gem
Had a wonderful day on the South course at Big Cypress. A really friendly welcome in the pro shop and from the starter. I was unsure what the course would be like being in a Retirement Community but don’t let that put you off as this is a great course and wonderful value. Some tough holes with plenty water in play throughout. Tees fairways and greens all in great condition- greens not the quickest but running very true. Would recommend to everyone and I look forward to a return visit
beautiful
this is the best conditioned course I have played lately
the greens are a little slow because they appear to have been aerated a few weeks ago rest of course in perfect shape not a weed anywhere
Better than average course with remarkable greens.
The course plays short and is all together a modestly challenging design. The fairways where a little soggy in spots and crispy in others. They are generous and the hazards are never really an annoyance. The greens are a pleasure to play and some of the nicest greens in the area. Certainly the nicest greens I’ve encountered for the price. The course value is high and defiantly worth a try. Pace of play was 3:20 mins for a foursome.
Awful experience
Staff in pro shop were extremely rude. Showing up on time isn’t how they do things. They want you “early” because they have “rules”
Course was okay, but nothing special. Ranger constantly followed us throughout the round.
Felt very out of place. Do not recommend to anyone.
Beautiful course
Best course Ive played here so far course in great shape
Good pace of play, very good condition on South course
Enjoyed the round. Greens very good, and slightly on the slow side compared to others. Lots of water, and if you play off the black tees (not me), be prepared for some really long drives (200 yards +) to clear trouble.
Marshall’s out keeping pace of play quick.
Drove from Kissimmee, but unlikely to make the long journey again, as the course did not warrant it. However, if you are 30 minutes or less away, then give it a go.
