About Evermore Orlando Resort

The former Grand Cypress Resort, which featured the luxurious Villas at Grand Cypress, has been a popular part of the Orlando resort and golf scene since the 1980s. It is in the midst of a comprehensive long-term renovation and rebranding to become the Evermore Orlando Resort. Both the Villas of Grand Cypress and the 27-hole Jack Nicklaus course that hosted the LPGA Tour are gone, but the New Course, also by the Golden Bear, remains open, as does the large Hyatt Grand Cypress hotel. Evermore hopes to debut in summer 2023. Read more about the project here.

Makes you think

This is the first time I've played this course. Their are a number of bunkers scattered throughout this course. Being in the fairway is not a premium, but not being in pot bunkers is. The greens were like glass and very fast. This course is beautiful and I will definitely be back. Staff is courteous and very helpful. Go play!

The New course at Grand Cypress

I booked The New Course as a first time single to the resort. Grand Cypress found me a two-some and we got out ahead of a larger group that helped make the day even more enjoyable. Great course and resort. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to Grand Cypress.

Grand Cypress Resort - New Course

The course itself was in good condition. The only thing that knocked this from excellent to good was the greens had not quite recovered from being aerated. Staff was tremendous, as you would expect for a resort course. Cart girls and attendants with Ice Towels came around frequently. The discounted rate made the "punched" greens a minor issue.

Wow! Grand Cypress!!!!

I have wanted to play a course at Grand Cypress for years. I finally did it the other day and now can't wait to get back. Played Grand Cypress' New Course which ihas a lot of traits of Scotland's Ole Course at St Andrewd, right down to the jagged trails the carts traverse over. What a treat.
The course was immaculate as was the clubhouse. The pot bunkers, which litter the course were a nice treat, usually!

People... Pay attention to course alerts !!

A friend of mine booked us a tee time on Golf Now at Grand Cypress New Course. He called and said it was a great deal but it had an aerification alert. Since both of us love to play the Grand Cypress courses, and with such a good price, we booked it anyway. When we got to the pro-shop to check in the guy in the pro-shop greeted us as he was starting to check in another man. The man said he had a golf now tee time and needed to check in. He asked if he wanted range balls and the man said they are always included with golf now. He explained that they was $5 a bag and that it doesn't say on golf now that they are included, well the man really got upset saying they are trying to take his money by falsely advertising on their website. The worker tried to explain that they don't run the golf now website, that it is ran by golf channel and he was sorry about the misunderstanding and he would go ahead and throw them in this time. Then the man asked if the course was in good shape, and the worker stated that the course had been aerified about three days ago and the greens would be a little bumpy and sandy. That sent the man into a frenzy. He was very loud and rude, saying that they were trying to cheat people that book on their website ( which again everyone should know that they don't run the site), because nowhere on the site does it say the word aerify. The man demanded him to show him where it states that about the course. The worker pulled up the golf now website and showed him the big A with the exclamation point in the box showing that the course has been aerified and that is why the price is cheaper and why he gets a $25 bounce back coupon to come back and play when there is better conditions. The man questioned how was he supposed to know that is what the A stood for, the worker kept apologizing but it did no good. Finally the man said a few bad choice words and went to go play. Then as we are at the practice green beside the first green, he goes off on the starter about how he would never be back to this course and they never told him when he checked in about the course conditions. The old starter just kept saying he was sorry and the man's group finally teed off.
I check all the alerts (big boxes in the tee time squares) to find out what is offered and conditions of the course when we book through golf now. It states on there to bring a copy of your booking (in case the course hadn't got the tee time from golf now), your tee time can be pushed back up to 20 minutes (don't see how that is really a big deal, a few more minutes on the practice green) and what comes with the tee time and any course conditions. We read that the first time we used the site, we have been pushed back a few times, but courses has also let us go out early too. This was the mans fault and the worker tried everything he could to accommodate him. Please if you are going to use this great site to take advantage of the pricing, read and understand the website before you go and act like this in public. Remember this is supposed to be a gentleman's game. Sorry I just had to say something on this matter.

Wide open spaces

Plenty of room on most holes. Hit all but 2 fairways. For me to do that tells you how generous the fairways are. Just stay out of the bunkers. Greens and fairways were in great condition.

Another awesome afternoon at Grand Cypress

Seems like every time the security guard hands me my parking pass and opens the gate to enter Grand Cypress, I immediately know I made the right decision on where to spend my afternoon. Afternoons in the summertime here (when the rain stays away) are just about as close to perfect as you're going to find at any golf resort in Florida where "Stay & Play" is not required. The staff always openly welcomes me back upon check-in and I really feel like I have the place almost all to myself. That said, they don't ignore you. While I was very much isolated from a few other groups on the New Course, the woman driving the beverage cart knew I was out there and went out of her way to find me. Also, when I approached a traffic jam on a stretch of three holes, a staff member was right there endorsing my idea to skip a few holes ahead and come back to play those holes at the end of my round. He even saw me in the parking lot later and asked me if everything worked out. The New Course is so much fun to play and makes me laugh at many other Florida courses who claim to be "links style" in their design. To be honest, the fairways were a bit soggy (Why yes. I'd love to play "Lift, Clean & Cheat/Place"), which also meant that there was little to no rollout when driving off Par 4s or Par 5s. This did make the course play a club or two longer, but I had a good ball-striking round and embraced the challenge. As always, I look forward to coming back soon and playing as many of their 45 wonderful holes as the staff, weather and sunlight will allow.

Magnificent

This is an awesome course. Designed after the Old Course in England by the great Jack Nicklaus. Awesome greens and fairways and perfectly manicured tee boxes. A must play course.

Well Maintained.

The course is exceptionally maintained. The fairways are great. The greens were a little slower than I expected. We were delayed by over 40 minutes from our scheduled tee time and the round played a bit slow as we had to wait on every shot. I wish the middle tees were a bit longer that 6100 yards.

The wind was up so it felt like we were playing at St. Andrews. This was an awesome place to play a fun round of golf.

Good course, horrible pace

Course is in great condition. Only course in Orlando with a links style layout. Very hot day (not their fault), but the ice machines were not working and they do not privide you with a cooler, so we were stuck drinking warm water on a really hot day. We pulled up to 18 and it began to rain so we did not finish, but at that point we were 5:15 minutes into our round.

As nice as ever!

Challenging course in awesome shape. Plush and tight but not muddy. Play it now while it's "friendly". Mind the little bunkers next to the big ones. Ha!

Brilliant day out.

Holidaying nearby and decided that we would play the course if affordable. It had also been recommended by someone a week previously in Spain. We (my son and I) booked online and managed to get 18 holes for the same price you would pay in the UK for a very average course. The clubhouse is very friendly and the prices affordable. At the tee we were asked whether we would mind someone joining us to make a three ball, which we happily agreed to. Best decision of the day! A very nice gentleman by the name of Dave Kargetta who turned out to be not only great company but a great teacher too, helping me with a few suggestions on the way around. The course is stunning...difficult to believe a links course in central Florida, but its true. The greens were good, but could have been better. We were lucky with the weather, the heavens opening just as we made our way to the 19th. Would I go again? yes! Would I recommend it to friends? Most definitely.

Great Course, Nice Change of Pace

I really enjoyed my time on this course. It is links style, although in lush green Florida, it is impossible to have a true links. Either way, it was great fun. I played by myself on a Friday after noon and flew through the round. A few greens were still not all the way back from aerating, but it didn't affect my round.
