South Course at Big Cypress Golf & Country Club

Layout is good, course is in execellant condition and the greens are awesome.

No fault of management or the course, was just VERY BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great course, well maintained, and challenging to play.

Keeping ball in play a must.

There is clearly money well spent on the upkeep and condition of this great course. What a refreshing change from the "other" courses in the area. A great round of golf and very friendly staff. I will be back with friends.

It was cart path only, but the course was damp, with very little standing water. I would certainly play this course again.

The greens were a little slow but very impressive. Fairways plush. Only thing I could ask for would be the outside temperature in the 70's not 98 with a heat index of 115.
Also, my price on Golfnow was $23 plus their fee of $4. At the course the normal fee at this time was $24.
I guess you can save every time.

played from the white tees, 5600 yrds, greens were great,smooth, ball rolled true, fairways in good shape, lots of water but not really in play if you hit good shots. a good test of golf for a mid handicap player. shot 87. would definitley play there again

COURSE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE GREENS WERE NOT FAST.

GREENS WERE WELL KEPT AND MAINTAIN, BUT WERE ROLLING TO A SEVEN [7] OR EIGHT [8].

THE COURSE WINDS THROUGH THE TREES, HOMES, AND WATER HAZARDS, IT HAS A NICE FLOW.

WAS A JOY TO PLAY, AND GREAT VALUE. WE PLAN ON RETURNING SOON.

Course very clean and maintained . Very fast greens . I would definitely recommend it.

I absolutely love this course. You would never know the beauty that lies there without playing. Greens are new and are the best I've played in this area.

Arrived at the course to be told that the course was closed for a member's shotgun tournament. I could join the tournament but it was crowded with two groups designated for each par three. Would have taken more than 5 hrs to endure this round. No warning from the course or Golfnow prior to booking the tee time.

played here once before about 2 years ago, though it was a goat track, played here on a chance because their claim of new greens , what a surprise the course was very playable, the new greens made the experience very pleasant would definitely play here again. and this is located in a retirement community,

It's always fun to play new courses and in Florida there is such a great assortment to play and others which have a great pedigree. It's great to try somewhere new and find a place which exceeded your expectations and one which demands you go play it again.

Sometimes because many people live closer to a big city or on the outskirts, that taking a little drive seems to be less important in order to try something new and different.

I will often plan a road trip to play the courses kind of off the beaten path. Most of the times it's worth the trip and once in a while it's not.

Big Cypress was surely worth the trip. It's located about 35 miles west of Orlando, in a very large over 55 community with two 18 hole golf courses. The North Course is a short course and the South Course is a championship track of 6700 yds from the tips which plays much longer than it looks, especially when the wind is up as it was the day I played.

The fairways are lush and the greens were fast with each hole having a character of its own. On the front nine, the 2 par fives are just tough. The first one requires a carry of over 240 yds. just to clear the water! During the winter, the wind blows in your face, so be prepared. The 2nd par 5 requires a totally hidden tee shot over a marsh and to play the hole correctly requires a draw or it will surely play as a 3 shot hole even though the yardage is under 500 yds.

Only 1 par 3 could be considered easy and 2 of them play over 200 yds. The greens have multi-levels and require you to be on the right level to have a shot at birdie.

You will surely feel as if you played an entire round of golf by the time you finish, as it makes you work on pretty much shot.

The clubhouse is nice and food was standard golf course fare, although priced a tad better than most courses.

The Pro Shop is well stocked and all of the people I met were very nice and it's evident they take pride in their course. The starter told me the front nine was a little backed up and let me start on 10 right behind an elderly couple, who played at a great pace and we actually completed those 9 holes in under 2 hrs.

The front was a tad slower, but still right around 2:15 on a Sunday afternoon. The practice area was grassy and a good size bucket of practice balls was only $5, so a good value.

Big Cypress was surely worth the trip and I will go back. The community of higher end manufactured homes was extremely well kept and I was floored by how many people live in this place. Make the trek and I am sure you will be writing a great review of this hidden gem.

Just my thoughts!

It was a surprise for us. Nice layout and excellent condition. A big crowdy but pace of play was o.k. Greens were great.

The best conditioned golf course in lakeland bar none!

The diamond zyosia greens roll true and don't seem to hold too well. Fast and easy to roll off into the water on approach shots.
Lots of water and rough well maintained.

Definitely play again+++

Course was in great shape. We saw only minor bare spots on the greens. putts were true.

i had heard about this course from friends and decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed. the course was in excellent shape. the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would play here again anytime.

Course is well kept and interesting. Day is set up with very friendly pro shop and starter. Wide fairways and excellent greens.

This is my favorite course to play in lakeland forsure it's very challenging and it never gets old everyone there is very friendly and helpful with any information or questions you may have 5 stars forsure.....

My husband, brother and sister-in-law played at Big Cypress while on a trip to Florida from Buffalo, NY. The grass is different than it is in Buffalo, but the course was a great deal compared to Buffalo courses.
