South Course at Big Cypress Golf & Country Club
About
Big Cypress Golf Club is part of a gated golf retirement community called Cypress Lakes. Conveniently located between Orlando and Tampa, the club offers two golf courses, the North and the South. The South Course is a championship layout that is more challenging than the executive-length North Course. Both courses are characterized by the abundance of water and swaying palms, offering the best of Florida golf. The South Course plays a long 6,680 yards from the back tees. The course presents a more demanding test than the North, appealing to more advanced players. Florida Golfer and Senior Golfer have recognized its challenging layout for its excellent conditions and design. Maintenance is a top priority at Big Cypress; on both courses the well manicured fairways and greens are consistently in good shape.

My brother and I played it first time we played it conditions are excellent beautiful golf course would recommend it
Diamond in the rough
The fairways are perfect! The greens had been punched and sanded but putted smooth and fast. Very interesting and varied layout and will challenge every golfer. I have already booked another t-time.
Great condition, friendly staff
Drove a reasonable 45 minutes from downtown Tampa on Easter. Having doubts that their grille would be open (with everywhere being shut down for the day), I called ahead & was told it'd be no issue. Then I received a PROACTIVE call from Carl at front desk & he doublechecked for me & the grille would actually be closed for the holiday. All was reasonable and I appreciated the callback; it allowed me to grab a bite before arriving to the course. Carl was OUTSTANDING. Great to find a course where the staff actually cares!
Course conditions were great. Tee boxes, fairways, greens - all higher quality. Challenging greens; not many straight putts. Hazards are aplenty but theyre mostly out of the way making this course very enjoyable to play. I hope to be back!
Best winter/spring conditions around
Short challenging course.
Course was in the best condition of any course I played in Lakeland, Tampa area so far this year!! Fairways were lush and greens were very good. Overseeding was full and complete even the rough was nice. Best value I’ve received this winter. Will definitely recommend.
Excellent condition. Best fairways in the area
Played several courses in Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland and these were by far the best fairways and rough we played. Greens were very good too. Pace of play was very good (under 4 hrs)
Great course. Great conditions
The best course I have played in and around the Orlando area. It is worth the long drive.
First time not the last
I was impress by the conditions and the green and a lots of water and big gator
Sweet track
Pristine greens with a mix of target shot and bomb em off the tee holes. Great course.
I was very surprise by the layout and quality
First time playing this and I was impressed of everything
