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.

Big cypress
Well worth the 50 minute drive. Nice layout, course in nice shape, large foursome waved us through
Big Cypress South COurse
Very nice course with a mix of short par fours and a couple of lengthy par fours, par fives all nice, par threes demanding. Greens rolled great at a medium speed, mostly flat, but a few had some slope to them. Cold day here, 50's so no one was one the course, was able to play in 2:30 taking my time. Nice clubhouse and facilities. Good choice for medium length course.
Worth your time
Greens are in great shape and have good speed, very smooth. Overall conditions are very good.
Surprising golf course !
Good layout, not to long but demanding off the back tees.
Last four holes are very nice and pretty hard
Greens were very nice, fairways and tees were ok .
Really good value. Place was very good.
Mid day golf
Golfed st noon n play was at a good pace. Many groups with several diff t off areas n course still was at a good pace
Hidden Gem
I almost hate to write this review. I want to keep it as my little secret. But I found this hidden gem because of other favorable reviews, so fair is fair. The course is tucked into an over 55 community of so as you drive in you think....."this is a going to be a cow pasture". I was wrong this is a beautiful layout, well maintained and challenging as even from the senior tees (which unfortunately I must play these days due to a bad back that has taken care of my 250 yard drives). The Ron Garl layout offers a challenge for the long hitters from the tips (I played with two young guys who got their behinds handed to them) as well as us short hitters from the 6000 yard layout. The course is in good shape. The greens are in great condition, fast and with enough subtle breaks to give you fits. On top of that the people in the community are really nice. My only complaint was pace of play. It was slow. But that is my problem since I am a fast player. It was a 4.5 hour round but the course makes up for it.
I will be back.
Beautiful day for golf
Very nice course not too had but not that hard. In good condition. Well maintained.
Very Impressed
I play the South course and it was manicured very nicely. Fairways were great and the greens were some of the best greens I have played on in Florida. The ball rolled on the smooth green surface. I will definitely play this golf course again and soon.
Great greens
Greens were in great condition and rolled true. My tee time was just before noon so the morning groups were far enough ahead I didn't have to wait on anyone for the entire round. Fairways were in good condition as well. The bunkers I ended up in on a few holes did give me some problems. This is a really nice course I will play again when I'm back in the area.
Great Greens
Big Cypress south course can be a challenging golf course, staying in the fairway is key. If you can manage that, then you have a chance on hitting the greens. Once on the greens it on, the greens are well kept and true.
Hidden gem
Very pleasantly surprised by both the layout and the conditions at this course. It was about a 45-minute drive from our condo in the southwest part of Orlando (Davenport) and well worth the drive. Very friendly staff, good pace of play and an interesting layout. Some of the Orlando-area courses are still recovering from the hurricane, but the greens here were terrific. Highly recommend.
Not long but good test of your skills
The course was in great condition including fairways and greens. The greens were a little quick but rolled true with some subtle breaks.
Overall it was a very good value for the money!
An unexpectedly nice course within a mobile home park.
Course was quite nice, North of Lakeland. Greens were extremely true for putting. Hardly anyone playing on this day, so it was a pleasant experience.
