Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2019. See Grand Cypress - New listing for the remaining opened 18 holes.

Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando boasts four 18-hole championship courses designed by Jack Nicklaus. There is one 18-hole links course and three nines that are played in three different combinations. The South/East combination provides numerous challenges but it is also complemented by more player-friendly features. The South nine is one of the resort's original nines, the other being the North. The layout features terraced fairways and platform greens that are surrounded
by contoured mounding and yawning bunkers. The East nine is more forgiving with generous landing areas and fewer bunkers, especially in front of the greens, which allows for more run-up shots.

End of Year Special

Course had an end of year special so all rounds were $50 instead of the typical $100+. At $50 this is absolutely perfect and a great deal. At $100 it is good.great but not amazing.

Solid Course

Definitely worth playing if the price is $60 or less. If it’s more than that before October, you might as well drive down to Streamsong and play the best Florida has to offer.

Great Course!

This course was fantastic. Tees off at 8:42am as a single. They didn’t have anyone to pair me with so the starters let me tee off on the wide open back nine. Played through two groups after I did the turn and finished the round in under 2:30 mins. The course was very dry. Great fairways. Great greens. All the putts rolled true. Play this course!

Best around Orlando

I’ve played this course plenty of times and each time gets better. Driving range is perfect for a warm up. Layout is typical Florida golf. Greens are perfect every time. Can’t wait to get back out there.

Good, could have been Great

The course was amazing and for $42 you can’t really complain about anything. We played the North & South. That said, the spacing of groups off the 3 nines was quite bad. We went from no wait, no backup, to waiting 5-10 minutes between shots on the back 9. Overall, the course is amazing. I love the use of mounds and undulations on the greens. The North is great. The South has recently been aerated and is slow and bumpy which was a bit of a letdown.

The course has handled all the water really well. I would definitely play again, but I find it crazy that a local muni has a better facility practice wise than a 5-star resort. I will be back if the price is right.

Very slow pace of play. The ranger don’t anything about it. Even though we brought the attention several times. 5 1/2 hour rounds. It’s a shame.
