Evermore Orlando Resort
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.Facts

Your approach to the 8th at Grand Cypress New needs to cross a burn, and you'll drive your cart over a stone bridge toward the green. Kitschy? Sure, but chalk it up to commitment to a certain aesthetic. Photo submitted by TimGavrichGP on 08/31/2018

Beautiful course in the ‘Old Course’ style
We had a great time playing this Old Course replica. Greens were top dressed probably after punching a few weeks ago. They ran true - not lightning fast. Fairways in great shape and thankfully wide (mostly). Green undulations tough to read. Putting from off greens likely a little slower than in Scotland. Regardless of the quality of the golf game, the clubhouse and restaurant were magnificent. Food was highest quality and ample portions for a reasonable price. Highly recommend course and club.
Enjoyable day
Played the new course for the first time and really enjoyed it, it's a course you can rip the driver with plenty of room on the fairways, if you miss the first and 18th fairway you need to go to your PGA pro for a lesson
Will come back and play it again soon
The New really does remind me of the Old
I only had time to play one course during my quick stay and Grand Cypress Resort, and although it was a tough decision, I'm never disappointed when the course I play there is the New Course, Jack Nicklaus' tribute to St. Andrews. The first and the 18th holes are basically replicas of the same holes on the Old Course at St. Andrews, but everything else in between is Nickluas' own creations, offering a tribute to Scottish links courses. While the fairways are forever and you can seemingly hit it anywhere, there really is strategy to scoring well here, and most of all, it's just plain fun. Try to avoid the pot bunkers, take a few risks and have fun with these massive, sloping greens, and you've got quite a thrill ride. Best of all, it's completely opposite to the other nines at Grand Cypress, which represent the best in Florida golf. Together, the new and the other layouts help Grand Cypress maintain its status as one of Floirida's most storied and best golf resorts.
Awesome
My wife and I spent our 13th anniversary playing this course. This was an amazing experience for us as avid golfers. The course was amazing. The starter was super friendly and gave us a wealth of information about the course and it’s layout. Five stars all away around. Tony and Julie Barney.
Focus
Course is top notch tee to greens. Since this is resort golf there is more than the average slow play and lack of golf etiquette. It does not appear that the rangers are concerned with the behavior "not my first experience". However if you can stay focused through all of this it's a must play.
great course but......THE GREENS WERE HORRIBLE
Great Experience, loved the idea of a "different" style of golf course. Great Price on golfnow. Pace of Play for us equaled whatever you wanted we were the only group on the course at 1230pm/saturday had the place to ourselves!!!! The only complaint was that the greens had been punched we were told two weeks prior after arriving, well, they haven't recovered yet and kinda sucked to be honest, they bounced, they zigged, they zagged and made it very difficult to not inact a two putt rule not the way I wanted to experience the course for the first time. However, I will be back and I know this course will play much better and more difficult with fast smooth greens. Be prepared that perfect drives may end up in a bunker! Lastly, please add sand to greens and warn people of the current conditions. I would have rather paid more to play elsewhere than play "greens" that are indicative of a cobblestone road or semi goat field without trying to be to harsh :)
Great change of pace
Loved this Nicklaus copy of the old corse at St Andrews. Trick but fair. Loved not playing super narrow fairways lines with gunge and ponds. Play the tips for fun of it.
Great Course, Great Time, Great Day
Fantastic all the way around, top notch facilities, great staff, could not have been a better afternoon. Played the course 3 different times during our stay in Orlando and enjoyed it more and more each time. Thank you!
Great Value
I typically play the NSE tracks at Grand Cypress, actually booked the New Course by accident, but I will definitely put this course into my rotation. It was in great shape, tee to green. Only concern was pace of play because of high handy cappers in front of our group.
I love this course
The New Course is one of my favorites. It is a links course, and thus does not often severely penalize a wayward drive, but the greens make up for that. They have many contours and are uniformly fast.
While the weather was too hot, the course was in fabulous condition, and the summer rates ($54) were very good. I just wish it was closer to my home. The only drawback for regular play is the Disney World traffic on I-4, which can make travel miserable.
Florida resident
One of the best course's I have played in the Orlando area & I have played all the Disney course's Champion's Gate & others. Don't play this course if you are just taking up the sport or if you are a bit of a hacker as the course needs looking after. Pace of play is important so keep up with those in front of you for the good of the game.
Great Course
I have played the other courses before but the first for the new course. What a treat. Must play. The staff was great as I remember.
Scotland in florida
This course design was based on St Andrews...it is a fabulous links style course with large, but challenging greens. My favorite course in Orlando.
Globetrekker
Course was in excellent condition and staff was very friendly. Played layout of New course, St. Andrew's Links style.
Not really a links course
Disappointing is a good description. It started with the starter putting us as a four ball then changing his mind after we had hit our tee shots. No towels on a hot day and they couldn't be bothered to get some for us. No GPS which is silly on that course with some many blind shots and a row with the group in front about hitting through. Grass far too long on the fairways for a links course.
I cannot think of anything positive about the round.
Weekender
Prepare yourself for a slow round especially on the weekend. Other than that the place is outstanding. Recommend sneaking in on a week day to avoid the weekend warriors playing from the tips when they probably shouldn't be.
