Cypress Head Golf Club
About
Cypress Head, an Arthur Hills design, is a blend of holes and styles, a layout of two distinct nines that impress players through different means. At 6,805 yards from the tournament tees, the course is not a beast (there are three alternative sets to choose from).
The first nine is the highlight at Cypress Head. These holes take on a variety of shapes and strategies with little repetition.
It features multi-tiered undulating greens and preserved wetlands with water coming into play on 14 of the 18 holes. The 14th hole is a 478-yard par 4 over water that comes into play off the tee as well as the second shot to the multi tiered green.
The Golf Club also features a lighted driving range and practice facility. Two practice putting greens, a target green and sand bunkers for honing your skills before taking on the challenges of the course
With its' superb conditions and beautiful wetlands setting, Cypress Head is a public club that offers a private and tranquil experience.

Fun and challenging layout
This was my first time playing here and I really liked it. The layout was fun and challenging. The layout was varied and challenging with several forced carries off the tee and also several forced carries into the greens. Definitely a place where accuracy is required. I played in the middle of the day on a Thursday and the pace was great. Of course, it was 93 degrees outside with a “feels like” temperature of 104 degrees, so not many people will be out nor want to play in that type of humidity. If you are able to get a deal on Golf Now, it is definitely worth the price.
The course is in great shape but the greens had not been cut in a few days so they were rather slow. The prior days, there was rain, so that may have kept the greens from being able to be cut.
The staff was great and very efficient and friendly.
Really fun but challenging layout.
First time playing here and I LOVED it. The layout was fantastic. The few days leading up to our round had heavy rain so it was cart-path only when we played but the course had drained very well and wasn't soggy in many places. The layout was very challenging with several forced carries off the tee and into the greens. Definitely a place where accuracy is at a premium but that not to say length isn't important too. We played pretty early on a Sunday morning and the pace was great. Our foursome was able to play in right about 4 hours, even with it being cart-path only.
There are lots of courses in the area but this one goes straight to the top of the list for places I'll play again when I'm in the area.
Have to put this course on regular rotation
I haven’t played this course in a while and shame on me, because it’s a great course with a variety of challenges. It’s in great shape and the greens are legit!
Fun morning
The course is in great shape. I was a Sunday dewsweeper playing with Ed, Marilyn, and Dennis. They were a blast to share 18 holes with. Great staff, very efficient, nice practice area. Greens are in great shape. Don't sleep on Cypress Head—really enjoyable experience. It should be at the top of your Volusia County golf list.
Unacceptable pace of play
I don't understand how Cypress Head and Venetian Bay don't enforce pace of play. Guaranteed 5hr round at these places minimum.
The course conditions were good, but greens were very slow.
Great course but greens are punched
I really like this course. Other then the punched greens the course is in good shape. Challenging layout but a lot of fun.
Disappointing, both from GolfNow and the course
Booked a round first thing in the morning for a noon tee time. Checked both GolfNow and the courses webpage for information on the course just to make sure things looked good before going out as I had see a few reviews mentioning not ideal conditions several months before. Nothing stated about current course conditions on either location. Show up for the round, and am told that I’m only allowed to play the back nine, because they were aerating the front nine. Nothing stated during the booking process at all. Start playing the back nine to find semi unplayable greens, due to those being freshly aerated. Was a complete waste of time and money. Rest of the course was in good condition, fairways, tees, and rough. However that type of major work at the course, and a partial closure has to be mentioned in the status. No refund of any amount was offered or given, but in my opinion should have been. Complete waste of time on my one vacation round.
Great course
Was in town on vacation saw the ordeal and the reviews had to give it a chance. Course didn’t disappoint great course with some great holes. Will be in the rotation next vacation.
Decent course, terrible communication
Golf course overall is decent. Not a bad layout at all. Piece of play was great as a single l, until I ran into two foursomes in front of me. Slowed down drastically after that. Tee, fairway, and rough conditions weren’t bad for what I saw of the golf course. The greens were bad though. Showed up to play 18 holes on a prepaid round. Got there only to be informed that they were only allowing the back nine to be played, because they were aerating the front nine. The back nine had just been aerated. There was no discount offered, and nothing posted on their webpage or golf now to let someone know this was the case. Incredibly frustrating to pay for a round of golf, to find out the course is not in true playable condition, and that you can’t even play the entire course. This is the scenario where a refund would be applicable. Would post pictures, however, file size keeps limiting uploads. Would recommend calling the course to check conditions before booking.
Great layout challenging but scoreable.
Great conditions first time playing while on vacation from Texas. Everyone at the course was super friendly. Played as a single and three groups let me play thru. Everyone was super friendly. Had a little rain and lighting delay but finished in just over two hours. Greens were great and fairways were solid some tee boxes struggling a little bit overall great experience for me.
Pleased
Started on Back 9 and conditions were very good.
Front nine had a few tee boxes that needed work along with a few spots in the fairways.
The only complaint is that the speed of the practice green was much faster than the course greens.
8 footers kept coming up 3’ short.
Only problem was we had a newby playing with us that was bad and slow and who was trying to play from the blue tees. 1 shorter than the tips. 4:45 to play.
Great course
This has to be on of my favorite golf courses near me.
Staff is wonderful.
The course is a great layout. Challenging but fair.
It’s in good shape.
Only negative a few tee boxes are pretty thin when it comes to having grass. I’m a guy who prefers not teeing it up on a par 3.
That’s a challenge here.
Overall a wonderful course to enjoy.
BEST COURSE IN THE WHOLE AREA
DONT MISS THIS ONE GREAT COURSE CONDITIONS FRIENDLY WELCOME MY FAVORITE COURSE TO PLAY IN THE AREA CAUGHT A PRICE BREAK THRU GOLF NOW I KNOW ITS NOT CHEAP KEEPING THESE GREAT CONDITIONS JUST HARD TO PLAY HERE THAT OFTEN BECAUSE OF MY BUDGET BUT FOR YOU WILL LOVE IT YOU OUT THERE PLAY IT
In great shape
Most golf courses around here are in rough shape but Cypress Head is in great shape greens had been aerated recently but still worth the money.
Course in excellent condition .
Some very good holes and then a couple of really short par 3's .
Plenty of water .
We played behind two 4 balls as a 2 ball and another 2 ball behind . We were held up for 18 holes .
Staff wouldn't let us tee off on the other 9 even though tee was empty .
Over 4 hours 15 mins for a 2ball !!!!!!!!
