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.

Slow & dangerous

I found this course a bit strange. Everybody seemed to be playing everybody else’s fairways & the greens with 2 flags was a bit dangerous on some of the holes, with blind shots to greens with people putting on a different hole. The course it’self was like a links, nice enough layout with some nice holes & the greens were ok. But for the price tag I wouldn’t play again.

Great course, SLOW pace

At first we were to tee off on number 1 with another twosome, but the starter said number 10 was open and that we should start there. I don't know if she did that because the other twosome were two men and our twosome was my husband and myself or not. It would have been fine except that when we got out to the 11th hole we realized that we were behind a large group of men that were playing some sort of scramble which made the pace of play EXTREMELY SLOW. We couldn't ask to go through because the foursomes ahead of them were all a part of the same large outing. It took over 5 hours to play which is not enjoyable. In the future if we get to play here again, I would hope that the round would not be so slow.

The course itself was in excellent condition. With the mounds and the pot bunkers, it makes for a challenging, but fun course to play. I would like to play it again sometime.

Wonderful Day of Links Golf

Played a number of top courses in the area during this week and surprisingly found this to be a favorites. The course was in great condition and it was a lot of fun trying to navigate the various bunkers, including pot bunkers, in and around the fairways, which you usually don't experience. Also refreshing to play an open course without trees and shrubs being a factor.

Disappointed

Played the original corses 25 years ago and was awed by the condition and amenities. Played the New Course this time and if that is indicative of the resort in general then it has definitely slipped a notch or two. The practice tee needs to be twice the size to accommodate all the players and the only putting green was near the first tee and was very poor.

Course in great shape

There was a slight build up on the 1st because with the three courses they had a delay on buggies so when we got to the 1st tee, the starter moved us to the 10th tee. Had a great round as regards the pace of play. Course was in great shape. It’s a must play with holes replicating St. Andrews in Scotland.

Top class course's

We booked an afternoon tee off time, the place was packed. There were no buggies prior to teeing off, probably because people were taking too long on the course. The place of play when we did get out there was very slow & it was cold so that made it worse , we played 12 holes & came off. Apart from that all was good.

Great links course, we enjoyed playing the course. Somethings were a little disappointing, there was no information about the layout of the holes at the tee box areas, like all the other courses we played, we were playing blind, no GPS device in the carts like all the other good courses we played. On the first day of our golf week my driver broke, all the courses we played during the week loaned me a premium drive at no cost but not at Grand Cypress.

Links-style golf in Central Florida

Really enjoy playing Grand Cypress New Course. The Grand Cypress facility has three nine hole designs that are paired differently so your can assured of a different round fairly regularly in addition to the the 18 hole New Course.

While the three nines (N, S, E) have a typical "Florida feel", the New Course feels like an Irish or Scottish links-style course. There are no large dunes or ocean views, the course looks and (more importantly) plays like a links course. The hard and fast nature of the course is what makes it unique. There are plenty of times when you have the ability play shots in the air and along the ground. There are even a couple of replica holes

I thoroughly enjoy rounds at the New Course, the tee shots are wide (which is great for me) and on the day we played, the weather was overcast and windy ... which added even more to the authenticity of the round.

Very busy

Upon arrival we knew it was going to be a long day when he had to park in the overflow lot (mowed field). We arrived 45 minutes ahead of time and spent 45 minutes waiting for carts. No Marshalls to encourage cart hoarders to turn their carts in before chatting about their (large group’s) round. Essentially allowed five minutes to warm up and then had the starter give me the eye as if it was our fault the group was late. Otherwise, the course was fine except you cannot tell where #11 is if you take a wrong turn from the green on #10 and a staff girl watching another group had no idea as to how to get to it.

Beautiful Course BUT

Beautiful course in great condition with wide fairways, but at this price point there's no excuse running out of carts. Arrived hour early and walked to range, walked to putting green and saw dozens of single bag carts at both locations. Only the starter made sure 2 bags per cart before tee off and we got our cart just 10 minutes before tee time. Beautiful range, but only 2 distance flags? Lots of false fronts on lightning fast firm greens and more and deeper fairway bunkers than I normally see with many dead center on fairway. Course management essential so bring GPS or rangefinder. A must play, fun links style course.
