Rating 72.7

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.

Excellent as always

Conditions are mint. Pace is always good even when busy. Price is excellent (59) for the quality of the conditions. More courses should see what they do here as they are the example of how public golf should operate. Conditions always excellent here meanwhile the other courses in the area struggle

Course in great shape.

The greens are very fast but true. Makes putting a lot of fun. Fairways and tee boxes also in good shape. Interesting layout with some water to get over. Good course for intermediate or beginners.

Course played extremely slow. No ranger on the course to keep things moving. Course was pretty wet and soft which made it play longer. Not worth the price they charged us on GolfNow,

Best value in the Florida

Do not miss this course, you can’t beat it for the cost of admission. Very nice layout, card looks short but course plays a little longer. Excellent greens (fast, smooth), great fairways, nice tee boxes and the rough isn’t to tough, this leads to a fun round of golf. Great wildlife, birds and gators. I will play again, I recommend to everyone, this is one of the top courses around, especially considering the price.

Gem

Great little tucked away course if you can get a tee time. It stays pretty busy however if you get booked…enjoyment is surely on deck. Course condition well kept as a constant and the course is challenging in ways that it needs to be.

Fast greens and nice fairways!

Always enjoy the course. The layout is good and fun n while being a fair challenge. Small mistakes can cost you shots! While rewarding good shots. Greens are always good and quick. Drains well, played a day after a heavy rainfall and it was 90 degree rule, not cart paths only!

Paired up with a nice couple and enjoyed the course.

Thanks
