Awesome course

great homage to links golf. wide open from the tees but the 2nd shot requires precision. large greens are undulating so you have to hit to a specific spot on the green. perfect conditions.

Essential Play

Had the opportunity to play the new course on vacation this year. Other three that booked in my group showed late (first tee time of the day) so the starter sent me out alone. The course is incredible just breathtaking. The staff is friendly and over accommodating. The 18th hole itself is worth the price. It’s by far the closest I’ll get to saint andrews but wow it’s just breathtaking. I can’t say enough about this course. If you are in the area it’s a must play.

Scotland??

This course was designed to be a replica of the old course in Scotland. I would recommend you get yourself here asap and see what a old course golf links style is all about.

A great experience

We had a great experience at Grand Cypress and its "New" Course. It was fun to get a sense of how the "old" course back in Scotland might play.

Nice and well kept course, but the layout not very interesting

The course is very well maintained, tee boxes, fairways and bunkers in great shape and greens rather very fast, some strongly undulated. But the track itself is not very interesting and beside deep bunkers, which really can be avoided, and just a creek on 4 holes, there is nothing really challenging. The pace was quiet OK. Overall it is nice, but I would always prefer to play North / South / East at the Grand Cypress.

New Course @ Grand Cypress

We played a twilight round @ the New Course at Grand Cypress for our first round of our Orlando vacation. The bag drop and valet were on point as well as the pro shop. The range was good as well as the short game and bunker area. It is a nice place to arrive a bit early to warm up.
The starter was great, apparently they were split teeing earlier in the day and we were scheduled to go off 10 but he checked the course and found it was OK to let us go off 1 which is what we would prefer. The cart "girl" was great we saw her multiple times and she was friendly and did not interrupt us.
The course was in good shape and the round went off without a hitch.

Great Course if you want a different experience

This course is set up as a links course. Tries to mimic Saint Andrews on some holes. Really fun shared greens different than the typical Florida course. Fairways and greens are immaculate. Great course

Don't play the "New Course" without a yardage book. Found way to many pot bunkers with good shots.

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.
