North Golf Course at Big Cypress Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Big Cypress Golf Club is home to two golf courses, the championship South Course and the executive North Course. Located in Lakeland, Big Cypress is situated between Orlando and Tampa. The courses are part of a gated retirement community called Cypress Lakes. The North is less challenging and offers a gentler version of the South that is more approachable to beginners. It is a fairly narrow layout that features tree-lined fairways and strategically placed sand bunkers. Water also has a strong presence on the course, coming into play on a total of 12 holes. The layout is player-friendly and offers several risk-reward opportunities. It is a great for beginners and more advanced players will enjoy it for a quick round or a warm-up for the South Course. In addition to the two golf courses, there is also a driving range and putting green.

I expected a "normal" golf course
First, I know it was MY fault, I should have read the description more accurately.
I was expecting a "normal" golf course but the north course is a better academy course.
There are 12 par 3 holes and 6 par 4 holes. And even 2 of the par 4 holes are such that you have to play with a wedge first.
The course itself is in very good condition and the greens are very good. Also the staff was very friendly.
But I would have one important suggestion for improvement: There are no signs how to get to the north course and especially how to get back. We got so lost in the community, where all the streets and houses look the same, that it took us almost half an hour to get back to the clubhouse.
Put up more signs or give guests a map copy that shows the way.
Pretty much perfect
First off Mr. Rich in the pro shop that checked me in is one of the nicest people I’ve met. He’s always very pleasant and helpful. Starter was as nice and got us off with no issues. The north course was a bit a busy but to be expected with the perfect weather. Course conditions are pretty perfect so go play!!
Big cypress executive
First time playng. Fairways and greens were in great shape, tee boxes not so much. Greens rolled true and were FAST..
Only thing that I found lacking were signs to the course and especially signs from the north coast back to the main clubhouse. Non-existent. Otherwiase, great day and will try to get back.
Perfect really
Check in was a breeze, pace of play was great and course is in superb condition.
Nice Course!
This course is nestled in a 55+ community in North Lakeland. Course was in awesome shape. Saw some deer and a bunch of swamp puppies. Greens were fast and a great shape. Attendants were friendly.
The executive course is quite the haul over to the #1 tee, but it makes the course better not playing around a bunch of houses. Would like to see snacks/concessions at the turn, since the restaurant is too far away to hit mid round.
We got unlucky with a 4 some showing up 40 minutes early and trying to hop in front of our time slot. We kept pretty good pace until a 2 some came back to play #10 and hopped in front of us. Then the 4 some hit into us. Didn’t yell 4 or anything. Not the best golf etiquette, but you’ll find people like that anywhere you go.
Amazing course
Truly impressed with the north course fairways and greens I can’t wait to come back and play the south course. Best greens in central fl
Fun place
Greens a tad slow but overall great condition. Easy check in super nice this time. Only played 13 holes rains came and lightning was ever present. Called it a day.
Really nice executive course
Great course, I think due to the recent rains they couldn’t mow the greens or rough. Bermuda gets super grainy when fuzzy and the rough just cradles around your ball. I like the challenge it presents but… Bunkers were all flat and not raked again I think due to the rains. Greens were fairly slow but in really good shape. I can’t really say but it doesn’t appear the pro shop guys like golf now customers, it was just a weird interaction that didn’t make you feel welcomed, maybe just me though. We’ll be back we like the course.
Booking
I booked the South course but they didn't have any openings. I would like a refund for my $3.00.
