Cypress Lakes Golf Course

The course is well laid out, not much elevation change but enough distance and turns to make it challenging especially with the normal wind in this area.

Cypress Lakes is my home course that I enjoy on a regular basis. On this day, I was pleasantly surprised with a some very courteous golfers. I say that because they let me play through while they took their time. I was playing solo and plying well, so the other groups allowed me to go past them. I love when golfers have great etiquette as apposed to the rude inconsiderate ones.

best day at cypress in forever. have you ever played there with no wind. yep and sun and great conditions. was a day to remember.

Conditions couldn’t have been better. The temperature was pleasant with the wind almost nonexistent. Generally when I play this course the wind can be upwards of 20 mph making it very challenging.

Enjoyed our round and would go back in a heartbeat!

They maintained the course very well, same was five years ago, the only thing been change is driving range. Before was hilarious, couldn't tell if its driving range or not. Overall i highly recommended anyone to come and play this course..i loved this course ( military course is one of the best ) your on your owned

For $15 dollars to walk it is a great deal. It does get very windy so keep the ball low. They do want you off the course by 8- 8:15 which is a pain if you tee off any later than 4 pm.

Long distance, difficult rough, windy... but it's really in great shape!

course is in an area of the city which is usually windy,,,

Cypress Lakes is a fun course to play. The terrain is flat but the greens are built up. There is some water on the course to add some challenges. Hole #18 is an interesting rick-reward hole. The rough was a few inches deep and very sticky. It was hard to hit good approach shots from the rough because of this. The greens were very fast and moderately undulating. The biggest factor was the wind that blew constantly all afternoon. The wind added to the calculus needed for each shot. The greens and fairways were in good condition. All in all, we had an enjoyable afternoon playing Cypress Lakes and would play it again.

Cypress Lakes is maybe in the best condition I have seen it in the 25 years I have been playing there. The fairways are groomed perfectly, the greens are true and the roughs are very rough. The bunkers can still use a little work. Thanks to the grounds keepers and mother nature for doing such a great job!

The grass is terrible right now.... they need to cut the grass and cut it more often. Bathrooms were nice at the clubhouse, and it was nice having restrooms on the course. Nice to have a place to get water at each hole also. Carts are nice and clean. Once they get the grass cut, go and play!

This course is really down. We had to play the back nine twice. The front nine was closed. We would have like to have been told before booking our round. We tried to call but no one answers the phone. The course was very wet. The grass was so tall that we could not find our balls.

Initially, I was intimidated by the course. Though it's a flat course, you can't underestimate it. I practice at this course 3-4 times a week by working on my putting, pitching and chip shots so I was familiar with the conditions of the greens.

But by looking at the layout of the course, the margin of error is very slim. It's not very long, but you can get into trouble if you don't hit your ball in the fairway - which Shannon (who was very polite to me) warned me. The course does get windy because it's flat. It also rained during the week so there was standing water in some portions of the course.

They punched the greens in October/November so the greens were in great shape. There were times I hit my driver and my ball would leak right and I'd see my ball drop, but when I go to look for my ball, it would get lost in the deep grass which can be frustrating. But what I like about losing my ball in the rough, is that the course really makes you think about the shot you should take.

There's a hole (16th hole I think) that's a 90 degree dog-leg right. The guy I played with has played Cypress in the past and he decided to hit his drive 45 degrees towards the green and I decided to play it safe by hitting my ball down the right side of the fairway by hitting a low shot with my 3 wood - which in turn, put me in a good position. I was 186 to the pin. But before I left the tee box, I hit another ball just to see if I was able to position myself aggressively for pitch shot to the green. I ended up somewhere around the trees. I would have been left with a punch shot to the green, but we believed a couple of guys picked up my ball because we saw them around the area where I landed. Long story short, because the course made me think, I managed to do less damage to my score card once I understood the conditions and the layout of the course.

I'm not a very good golfer. I can hit good shots, but that doesn't mean anything if I can't piece things together. My lowest score is an 87 and I shoot right around 93-96. I shot 99 which kind of stings a little. Shot a 54 of the front - tripled the 1st, doubled the 2nd, and 3rd through the 9th were painful too. Once I was able to get a grip on things and minimize the mess, I shot a 45 on the back.

It's a tough course in my opinion. I've met Joe and Dennis on previous days, I met Shannon on the day I played. They are very welcoming.

In spite of getting deated by the course, I will return to Cypress in an attempt to break 90.

I played this course 10-12 yrs ago, and wanted to play something I hadn't played in awhile. After reading the reviews, I had second thoughts, but already book the reservation. Glad I went!! Other than Golf Now not having an aeration alert posted, the putting surface's were tolerable. The course could use some sprucing up around the traps, trimming over grown weeds and grass would make a big difference around the edges of the bunkers. The edges of the cart paths on both sides could use some trimming as well. It would make the course appear, someone cares. Also, there were limited Gold tee boxes, only on a few holes, which made everyone play the white tees, which is over 6500 yds. At 66 yrs of age, the only thing I want that long is___A wad of cash $

Overall, the course conditions were AWESOME!! take into account, it's quite the drive to get to, and in the middle on nowhere. I'm use to playing Private courses, as well as high maintenance public courses, and it wouldn't take much to make this course Sparkle more.

Rodger in the Pro shop was terrific, and Angie in the grill, made me the best cheese burger ever. Heck, I would drive back there, just for the burger.

Despite the confusion on the 1st tee, as to which group should be teeing off, the course played fast. I had one of my best rounds there___and found an extra 15 yds with my driver. There's something to be said about playing a track at 6500 yds. Ya gotta grunt, and swing faster than a woman.

Flat and relatively uninteresting layout with plenty of wind to blow mishits even further off line. Overall, there are many better courses in the area. Tee boxes are in rough shape; lots of crab grass and uneven ground. Greens are decent but grass is pretty thin; doesn't really make a divot, more like a skid mark that's tough to repair. Not sure why "Lakes" is in the name as most of the water hazards are dry. Pretty much have to keep the ball in the fairways as the outside areas are either extremely hard dirt, dead weeds full of "hitchhikers" or full of grass clippings from mowing. Best part of the course was the sand in the bunkers being more playable than most courses in the area. Guess the USAF doesn't have much $$ to spend on recreation facilities these days...

The lounge has very relaxing atmosphere.

My wife and I arrived 45 minutes prior to our 8:56 a.m. tee time. As my wife readied for her game I went into the Pro shop and checked us in. Sharon at the front desk was very pleasant and professional. After finally getting a key that worked (1st key was for a different model cart), I went back to the car loaded the clubs, changed my shoes, I went back to the pro shop to get a granola bar and discovered that the cart we were in had a very low right rear tire. After changing carts we were off. (10 min early).

Well the shock soon set in. The fairways had been recently mowed and the cut grass that was everywhere, reminded me of a "Hay Field" that had not been baled yet. The fairway roughs were at least 6 inches deep and so thick we lost several balls that were no more than a foot or two off the fairways, so hit it straight down the middle or your doomed. The greens were recently sanded, but not in too bad of shape.

There wrer several very wet sections of the course with standing water or marsh like roughs from the heavy rains that had ended a week prior to our game. All in all, it was a golf date I would like to forget.
