Cypress Bend Resort

Great layout and can't wait to play it again. Starting to show its age and could use a face lift but still ranks high on my list of fun places to golf.

The weather was great, but typical Louisiana...hot and humid. Wildlife was abundant and scenery was great. Fairways were excellant but still make you pay for wayward shots. The greens were slow but they rolled true. I felt as though they needed to be clipped but at least the fungas looking spots seemed to be growing in from eariler this year. Looked like the bunkers had been worked on but still need some work. I love this course but find it quite challenging.

Course in great shape (rainfall is up). Greens were slow but that is typical at this time. Many courses will cut too short at this time and damage or loose greens when coming out of the grass transition period.

Typical LA weather. Humidity to spare but we had a great round.

excellent staff and food, fairways were great, greens were hard and dry there were some that there was no grass in places.

Very scenic and beautiful. Fairways are in good shape but the greens are terrible. It being an Audubon Trail course I thought it would be well maintained like all the others, but I was dead wrong. Definitely not worth the money. I could make a shorter drive and play a way nicer course. For a course that charges $70 on weekends and doesn't even have decent yardage markers on the course is strange.

Ok, I L-O-V-E, love this course. Beautiful setting on Toledo Bend reservoir, incredible course, wonderful staff, great food, and on a weekday afternoon, absolutely empty. Some quirky holes, par fives where you have to hit irons off the tee, many blind shots, and very hilly for such a flat state. This course is always maintained although I did notice a few diseased spots on some of the greens. Also they have been watering heavily on the approaches so there was no rolling the ball onto the greens. Bring your camera when you play this course, as there are many "Kodak Moments"!! Two holes play over an inlet in the lake, and the water is never too far away. Haven't stayed in the hotel yet, but am looking forward to it someday. If you are anywhere near Toledo Bend, please avail yourself of this magnificent course!!

The greens were in reasonable shape, with some bare patches. The greens are not particularly challenging. There are several holes which are not well laid out, with all shots being blind, and if you do not know the course you are guessing on your shot.

For the money they charge, the greens are horrible. The greens are in better shape than the last couple of years, but at the regular price of around $70.00 on weekends and holidays, you would think the greens would be in great shape.

If you like nature, this is the course for you! Very wooden and fairways have trouble, but enjoyable to play.

The staff was friendly, and the range is a little above average, but the greens had almost as much dirt as grass. The tee boxes are not level and very difficult to get a tee in the ground in some areas. The fairways and lateral areas were healthy and well maintained, but the greens definitely left quite a bit to be desired. The pace of play was very fast for a Saturday morning, but it's mostly because there were so few groups on the course. I guess that says volumes. Simply, I wasn't impressed.

The course is going through some maintenance in bunkers all over the course which will improve play and the looks. For this time of the year the fairways were in great shape,I hit a very decent drive that went almost 300 yards with roll after rain from the previous night. The greens for this time of the year stil putt well, and will hold a well hit ball.

Love the beauty and challenge of the course, too much ground under repair, the traps weren't maintained. This is not a 70.00
course on a weekend! If you can get it cheaper do it, or try to stay and play!
