Cypress Creek Golfers' Club was carefully carved from the mature hardwood forests and centuries old peanut fields of Smithfield. The peacefully secluded setting is the ideal environment for a round of golf and the challenging design will have you using every club in your bag. The golf course will reward creative shot-making and thoughtful strategy but it is not overly punishing for the high handicapper. The rolling terrain provides plenty of challenging ups and downs throughout and there are many water holes, including the memorable ninth, a short par 4 with an island green. Cypress Creek Golfers' Club even has its own "amen corner" that starts with the par-4 15th, moves on to the waterlogged 16th, and finishes with another par 4, an uphill hole that is the toughest of the trio.

Challenging

Weather was windy which always makes this course harder. Fairways were great, bunker need a ton off work and the greens were decent some greens there are a couple bare spots trying to grow in. Overall good condition

Solid course

I guess you could call this my home course, since it's pretty close to home.

Clubhouse is good, staff (pro shop and restaurant) are friendly and accommodating.

Practice facility is one of the best in the area (though in the Spring, the range gets buggy).

Course layout is solid. No tricks. Front nine is definitely the scoring nine (for me, anyway). #8 is a very good hole, and #9 gives me fits.

Back nine has three of the best holes in the Tidewater. 15, 16, 17 are amazing. Too bad 14 ifairway is always in bad shape.

Early Spring Golf

Course was in good shape but the grass had not greener up yet and too early for green maintenance. All in all a good golf day.

Wonderful course by the water

Cypress Creek in Smithfield is a joy to play even as a modest female player. The layout is interesting with fairways alongside mature trees and waterways of Cypress Creek. The winter/spring have been difficult for most courses in southeast Virginia due to frequent rain so play time has been minimal. The grounds manager and crew work very hard trying to keep the course in as good a shape as possible despite weather conditions. I really look forward to my next round on the course!

Played on a very windy day. Had a couple of out of town guests and since the course was not crowded we able to take our time but finished the round in under four hours.

Nice layout but ....

Nice course but the greens are pretty much gone. Has the look of a course that has trouble maintaining it.

Thanks for your Review. We just did our Fall Aerification a week and a half ago so they are coming back from that. With the rain forecast this week they should be 100% in a week.

GreensKeeper staff no consideration for Golfers!

Cypress Creek is one of my favorite courses in this area. Its challenging and well maintained. I've played most of the course in this area, some with very high dollar fees and other that are called municipal courses. This is the first time I have experience the grounds staff continue to cut grass in front of you and next to you while we were teeing off and playing the hole. How disrespectful can you be. Even the so-called city courses have better etiquette. I was very disappointed.
