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.

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
Best greens I have played this winter
The greens are fast and true. The tee blocks are excellent and the fairways are in great shape. The greens superintendent has done a remarkable job with this layout and the owners have obviously supplied the required resources to allow the superintendent to do his job. Well done.
Tee Boxes
Need to put some seed on the Tee Boxes they are in poor shape ..overall there are a few courses around in better shape
Very enjoyable course
The weather was perfect, 80* with little wind.
The course is in very good condition, the greens are fast and challenging. . (Maybe a bit too fast , a little intimidating if you're having a bad day on the greens.) There is a decent mix of holes from easy to difficult. The setting is relatively attractive if you like mobile homes. It's not like being "out in the country" but it is what it is. We enjoy the course and will return for sure. Not really a problem but the scene around the clubhouse is hectic and busy. The Golfnow Hot deal was a bargain.
Nice layout, good greens.
One of my favorite courses in the Lakeland area. Considering it's December the greens were very good. Played as a threesome and on the day we played pace of play was outstanding. 18 in three hours, my idea of heaven.
Good day out
Greens were in great shape. Good course for ladies with no force carry over 50 yds.
A great outing!
Very friendly and professional staff, a superb and beautiful layout, and near-perfect fairways and greens. This was our first time playing at Big Cypress; we definitely will return.
Excellent course
Enjoyed the course. Greens super condition as well as fairways. A good test of golf for everyone.
first time playing, won't be the last!!!
A really nice course. Bunkers, greens, fairways, pretty much everything. It has enough challenge for all and is a very friendly course for average to below average players. I E not a lot of forced carries and approaches to the greens are not over bunkers every time. The wife and I will definitely be back.
Happy day
All conditions tee through green were very good. Nothing to complain about
O.k. course
Nice greens despite the unusual practice of placing the cups so close to the edges. Tight course that goes through neighborhoods of doublewides. No beverage cart service?
