Cypresswood Golf & Country Club

Most of the time I play Cypresswood early on weekend mornings when the course is wet and slow from heavy dew. Playing in the drier afternoon on a windy day, I was hoping to see a bit more release on some shots. I was also hoping to see dry fluffy sand. Both of those things were there and made for an interesting change on a golf course I've played often. Pace of play, surprisingly, was good, but at 3:45 a little worse than most Saturday mornings where we finish in about 3:30. It having been a while since I've played in windy (20-30 mph) conditions I had to relearn flighting my shots. But overall it was a lot of fun and well worth the Hot Deals tee time price.

One of my favorite courses to play when I visit family down here. Excellent value and friendly accommodating staff. Actually got off earlier that my tee time and the starter was able to place me with a twosome. Pace of play was better than any of the Chicagoland courses that I normally play. Able to hit when ready and the groups in front had not watched so much TV that they believed every shot would be their best ever. It can be very frustrating when foursomes wait on every hole for people playing from the incorrect tee boxes/markers.

I never played on a course with such slow play,it took my wife and i,3 hrs. To play 9.5 holes,after that ,we left. No ranger on the course,checking the speed of play,the worst I ve ever been on.if you want to get old playing golf,this is the course for you.

This course was in fair condition. Most of the fairways had large bare areas. And many of the greens were badly damaged and in need of repair.

Terrible pace and condition. Lots of improvements to be made. No starter no ranger, got 4 groups of twosome stuck on 1 hole. Understand the price is cheap but could be made better. Be advised…

Wide fairways. Cart paths in horrible shape. Some greens were blotchy...

The course layout is good. Conditions were extremely wet and muddy. Lots of casual water.

Ball does not roll muddy around greens. There has not been rain for at least a week so I don’t know where the water is coming from

We have not played Cypresswood for two years and we’re really disappointed with the conditions of the course. We understand that they have had a lot of rain but the grass in the fairways was non existent and the greens were a strange brown colour. The cart paths are terrible with HUGE potholes and ruts. They also had a big backlog on the first tee as the regular groups going out in front of us were allowed to go out with whoever showed up going over their designated tee times. The course seemed very busy but not sure what they are doing about putting money back into the course. I realize that it is tough times for running a golf course these days but this course has a nice layout and used to be a very good golf course.🏌🏿‍♂️

Layout was decent. Pin position was tough . They were put on the slope part of most greens . Due to the previous day’s rain,the range was closed. it was cart path only. the tee boxes were in decent shape. The greens were rolling nice though.. but some had many unfixed divot marks. And one green had patches of sand but it was on the edges and did not affect putting . most of the fairways were very wet and muddy. where the dry areas are, there were barely any grass to hit off . I lift clean and placed all fairways shots. The starter George was very friendly and nice ! I may return in a few months or summer time , but will call and ask about the fairway condition before booking though . The course needs some more TLC and their cement cart paths needs fixing (the starter told us the club is saving up $ for this ) . Lots of pots holes and cracks.

Greens are 80% better then last year at this time ! Wet conditions on some of their fairways but... its rained quite a bit so overall ok. All in all much better playing conditions , its coming back !! great work by the grounds crew .
