South Course at Big Cypress Golf & Country Club
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.

4 Guys from Scotland
We played here 2 years ago and had a great time on and off the course,we decided to play again this year,we were not disappointed we had a great day playing course was in great condition for the amount it played,great staff in the clubhouse they know how to pour a mean drink lol,nice atmosphere about this club we all really enjoyed our day again.
....
Excellent course well worth my 50 minute drive. Lots of grass with good lies, true greens and nice traps. Some tough holes but fair. Good pace today
Excellent course
Great layout, houses far enough away where they are hardly noticeable. Greens in good shape but a bit on slow side.
Lakeland’s hidden gem. Aside from a few tee boxes, some of the best conditions you’ll find in Lakeland. Outstanding greens year round and a good challenging course from the back tees.
St pats day golf round
Very busy. Proshop staff was very accomodating and friendly. Good bar service and very clean amenities. They could really use some new carts but did not have any issues. The course is maintained excellently. Saw some gators,turkeys,and lots of rabbits. Overall very nice day of play with good friend. Will return.
The course has great features.I
I love this course been here since Nov1 and have played a lot of course s I would play this 5 Days week if I could .The Course is in great shape.
Well worth playing.
We had group behind hit into us twice.
The marshall handled it very well. Seemed the young fellows didn't realize we were bound by groups in front, and that one lad could hit a longer ball than he was aware of.
Well conditioned - nice course!
This course was in great shape and had plenty of nice golf holes that were easy on the eyes. The greens were awesome - rolled very true. The front 9 we whipped around in an hour and twenty minutes but somehow on the back 9 a 4some and a 3some were in front of us - it appeared they let a few of the locals out in front of us which made for a slow back 9. There was no snackshop or halfway house or anything like that open until 11 am! Crazy! We made the turn before then and had no option prior to the round starting for anything. But, the course was worth playing for sure.
55 Plus Golf Course
Very good conditioned golf course in the middle of a 55+ community. Greens were in great condition - maybe a little slow. Water creeps in on a few holes. Worth the $50 we paid.
Great,fun course
Great day at Big Cypress. All of the staff from the Pro Shop, Starter, and Ranger were very helpful and friendly. Area residents also were very friendly. Course was in great shape and not too challenging but a fair experience. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the day and will be back. We ate lunch at the grille and it was excellent.
Great Golf
This course was in great condition and extremely enjoyable to play. I would call it a diamond in the rough. The layout was enjoyable and tee set up to accommodate any level of play. Plenty of challenges but not too hard. Loved the round. Will definitely come back to play again.
Cart path only day because of the heavy rain the day before
Great Little Course
Very interesting layout and great greens. The course was very wet due to 3" of rain the other day. It's somewhat short, but has enough water and sand to keep you focused. Always enjoy our day at Big Cypress.
Fun course
Lots of water challanging. Slow going today becayde of the latest rain.
Best Course in Central Florida
Great course, nice defined fairways, well maintained greens and tees. Went to dinner after playing there and the waiter asked where we played. I didn’t tell him right away as he started talking about golf. He said that Big Cypress course was his favorite and the best around. It was pretty cool to hear a complete stranger say that about the course we were just on. I told him we just played there and agreed!
Very nice round
except for one green and 2-3 tee boxes that need to be fixed the course was very good. The sand traps could be addressed. Had a very good round as we were almost alone on the course. Lots of holes had water in play.. Staff was very nice. Would go back again
Great day
Challenging course. Day and night compared with Executive course. Played 7 courses so far this winter. This course is by far the best. Greens took about 6 holes to get use to. Fast. Fairways had some roll. Plenty of wildlife. Played from the back, 7 HC, Senior, 10 Pars, no birdies.
Love this course
No issues course looked great greens were fast played with a couple from Canada very nice people had a great time
