About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 72
Length 6805 yards
Slope 140
Rating 72.3

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.

Enjoyable

The course was very nice. There aren't really any surprises, what you see is what you get.

The greens are not perfect, but the speed and roll is good.

I would recommend playing this course.

Nice layout

I've played the course quite a few times, but the greens were the worst I've ever seen them. Lots of bare spots which made putting real tough.

Great layout - greens awful

Overall choose conditions were good except for the greens. Bare patches and lots of furry patches. Greens were kinda slow. Tee boxes were decent, fairways were good, bunkers ady least had some sand in them. The layout was challenging with lots of water, some of it is not in play unless you're having a bad day. Greens need some tlc.

Golf Club at Cypress Head

The last three holes were horrendous. A 4-some in front of us taking 15 to 20 minutes on a green. Reason the 4-some had a big bet going and every putt counted. This needs to be reported to the course director. There certainly needs to be a Ranger on the course to keep play moving. This left a very unfavorable impression with my partner and myself about playing this course again. And by the way, we encountered the foursome in the parking lot after finishing where they explained why play was so slow. There is no excuse for this type of behavior on a public course. I do not care what kind of money is involved.

Greens ruined the round

Because it made playing nearly impossible they were so bad. Fairways ok, most tees ok(not all) most bunkers were sad. Need drainage everywhere

Good but...

Great course for all levels of ability. Generous fairways with risk/reward opportunities. Good variety of tees. Greens need work but seems to be a common issue this time of year. Drainage is a problem on a few holes. After all that said this course is a good value.

What happened to this course?

Played this course for past 10 years, always raved about it, but not now. Having spent several hundred thousand dollars a couple of years ago on improving greens and sand traps, you wouldn't know it now. Who is responsible for such a lack of upkeep on such a huge expenditure? Greens are rough with many bare or I should say mud spots, traps are wayer soaked and hard mud/sand. Good thing is because so many people have stopped playing there pace of play is no problem.

Bad greens

Terrible greens, a mix of patchy and bare spots on every green but still charging $50 in the AM. Not worth it with putts bouncing all over the place and having to guess the speed.

Loved the layout and the friendliness of the staff. Greens were a little on the poor side but probably due to the weather over the previous few days but would certainly play again

Great day except for one jerk...

Beautiful weather and good course conditions. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and would love to play again. Just one negative. Due to heavy rain on Thursday the back nine was "cart path only". Seems there is always one jerk that thinks the rules don't apply to him. In this case it was someone that I think was a member or at least a local resident. He had his own personal golf cart and drove it into the neighborhood when he was done. This jerk ignored the "cart path only" and drove all over the wet fairways tearing them up. Because everyone one else was honoring the rules and he was ignoring them he was playing at a faster pace than those of use who chose to respect the course and follow the rules. He apparently didn't like waiting like all the rest of us on the course were doing and on more than one occasion hit into us while we waited for the group ahead of us to play. This clown was driving a personal cart with striped top. If you know who he is you may want to give him a refresher course in etiquette and you can hopefully prevent him form tearing up what is a very nice course.

NIce course

Course layout is excellent. Fairways are very good with some minor rough areas. Greens were quick and true, but had some spotty damage that was repaired.
