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.

We had a tee time to play18 holes in the East Course. Once we got there we were told we had to play the first 9 holes in the East Course and then change to the North Course for the back 9 holes. Ok no problem. What they did not tell me was that foursome's teeing up on the North Course would have priority from the players coming from the East Course. That made our back 9 holes never ending. Made me lost my concentration and I lost interest in the game. Truly disappointing and frustrating.

Great course and facilities

Played in the afternoon as much cheaper if you can stand the heat it's definitely worth it.

The course is in fantastic condition and greens very receptive.

Can tell they have tried to model it on Scottish courses by the undulations, bunkers and grasses used and it has paid off.

And the facilities are 1st class with showers and towels available in the locker room which were used by one of us after a particularly hot day.

Coming back to play the north/south course next week

Wide Open

The course is in excellent condition. The starter was very informative and friendly. The pot hole bunkers are more than a challenge . Stairs to enter. There are a few holes with double greens and color of flag identifies front greens from back. A little tight at this point if you hit wide of green those hitting to the other green could be hitting close to you. Good value and recommend.

Fun Course

I had a very enjoyable round. Came as a single and was paired with two very pleasant golfers. Course is interesting and open, quite forgiving of off-line tee shots. Fairways were firm and well conditioned.

Greens were much faster than they looked.

A round includes free unlimited use of the range, but on the day I was there the range was using mats to hit off.

Great course

The New course is great. First time on links course. Holes not overly long (I'm short hitter) and was wide open. Setting was beautiful. Had 3 hour rain delay -obviously not their fault. Worth the money. Would definitely play it again

Awesome course

I booked this course online and then arrived at the course for my tee time. When we arrived at the course we found out that the Atlantic 10 just had their championship rounds here for the last 3 days. The greens were extra fast and the pin placement was extremely difficult which we loved. We shot an 80 and 82. We had an awesome time. We will definitely be back.

Greens too interactive

First impression tainted at pro shop check-in with pretentious staff member who threw my credit card back to the counter after processing it. Yes I expect manners! Then off to the Tee deck which is backed up with a small tourney which is ok for awhile until it becomes painful with pace of play. The marshal was very pleasant and engaging but could not solve the problem. Lastly a few greens were shared with a two flag system which led to golfers firing at the wrong pins on a occupied green which meant incoming shots during play followed by chatter and jokes while trying to putt. Can't blame them for just having fun it is just the lay out of the course and it's intended design. Not my preference really as the greens are tough enough as is. Bottom line______ five hour round, no thanks.

Excellent

The Grand Cypress - New course is an excellent course. The conditions were great especially for a resort course that is pounded to death. The fairways were nice and tight like they should be. The greens were smooth and true. Valet parking at the door with very nice gentleman. The only disappointment was the course scheduled a 60 person outing at 2:15 shotgun. I had a 2:30 time, which let to over 5 hour round on a course that isn't overly difficult and fairly generous to the average swinger. The conditions and links style was enough to leave the frustrations as an afterthought.

Grand Cypress - New Course

The links fairway layout and large double-flag greens makes for a refreshing break from the usual course layout. The course was in great shape and the staff courteous. Pace of play was slow due to a large group (some seven foursomes) having just started play before we teed off. Was able to take advantage of a great rate which made it even more enjoyable.

OMG!

First, the track was good. Wide open, very forgiving and in really god shape. Greens weren't that fast but with the undulations speed would kill your average weekend player. Overall I really enjoyed the track and the conditions. HOWEVER, my experience started from the minute I checked in. Guy working the desk could care less I was ther much less that I was paying full rack rate. So OK, I get out of the pro shop into my cart, hit some balls and off to the first. Everything went down from there. I was paired up with some good guys, BUT...1) didn't see a bev cart for 6 holes. 2) By the 6th hole WE WERE 1:50 into round (yes, you read that right). 3) the second time we saw the bev cart, she had drinks, but no ice for the cooler (keep in mind it was an hour between 1st and 2nd visit). 3) one of the carts in our group died 14 holes in. Maybe not the end of world except for the fact that we had already seen 4 carts being towed. 4) when I called about the dead cart I was on hold for 7 minutes (made palatable by the fact that I had warm beer and was playing a 5:30+ hour round. 4). Was a 5:30+ hour round and I paid full rack. Was a good track, but the cons far outweighed any pros.

Great Course - Download the App B4 You Get There

This was one of our two favorite golf course after playing 6 straight days, but I recommend you download the Grand Cypress New Course App before you arrive at the course and bring your charger cord. The cart has a USB connection so you can use your phone or tablet all round.

A rare links style layout modeled after St. Andrews. The layout was fair and fun & we were finally able to find and fix our ball mark LOL. It's has been so dry in Orlando, most greens of other courses we played were rock hard, but Grand Cypress watered theirs sufficiently so the balls would hold the green. The app will allow you to "see" the hidden pot bunkers so a must. The only bummer was around Hole 14, we ran into a 6-some (4 were playing, but 6 were all putting) slowing play down considerable. Irritating, but it was such as wonderful course, even this little hiccup did little to dampen our enjoyment.

Little bit of Paradise

We stayed at the Villas at Grand Cypress. First class accommodation. The property is an Oasis of tranquility in the surrounding Disney concophaney.

You also have access to the Hyatt Grand Cyprss which is a phenomenal property.

Grand Cypress features the New Course, a replica of St Andrews plus and additional 27 holes.

Golf conditions are excellent. You can save on green fees if willing to play in afternoon.

The Clubhouse features a very nice bar and restaurant. The food is very good. Loved the breakfast. Finally the staff is unfailingly polite and helpful. The property has other amnenities; pool, pool bar, exercise facility, conference center, fishing and free bikes.

Highly recommend this facility.

Great Round at the New Course

Thoroughly enjoyed the round. Course was in great shape. Challenging but playable. Very friendly staff. Complimentary locker and shower facility was a bonus as we were flying out after the round. Pace was a bit slow but definitely recommend this course. Ice and water machines on the course another great bonus!

St.Andrews

Had a great time, course design was perfect. Greens were fast and true wide fairways and great scenery. Cart girls are fantastic stopping by 4 or 5 times during our round. We got paired up with Joe and Debbie from St.Louis they were a delight.

Really good golf course

This New Course is phenomenal! Greens, tees and fairways were close to perfect. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Beers we purchase from the cart girl were a little expensive, in case anyone cares about that. I'm looking forward to going back!

A Piece of Scotland

If you're looking for a golf experience like none other, this side of the ocean, then this may be the course for you. Nicklaus designed this course with the famed Scottish Old Course in mind and he did a wonderful job. Double greens, little rough, berms, massive fairways and of course devilish pot bunkers!

Truly a different experience with conditions that are second to none as well.

Played this course in 1990 and again this month and it isn't showing any wear and tear at all, great job by the greens keeper and crew.

Thanks GolfNow for making it affordable with a Hot Deal!
