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.

Best value
For the money this may be one of the nicest courses I've ever played. The greens are the truest nicest greens I've putted on. The staff was top notch. The local golfers were experienced and awesome! The views are impeccable and overall course was great. I played from the black tees and the box's were impeccable. I did see a few white and green box's that could use a little love but I would highly recommend this course and will return again to play!!
Excellent course
Course is in excellent condition! Greens are superb! Great value for money!
New Home Course
Played afternoon round on hot sunny day. Course is in a 55 & over community , with these weather conditions no pace of play issues. Fairways , greens &tee boxes all good. Not a tight course but not wide open either. Greens a touch slow. Staff friendly with nice restaurant at end of the round.
Great place
Course is in great shape, but the friendliness of the staff is even better.
Beautiful course and love the layout. I love playing this course and it’s located in a great community
Outstanding Staff!
First time playing.
Played with 3 gap toothed, mouthbreathing, flatulent buddies. We had a good time in the heat and humidity. Seriously, it was hotter than (expletive deleted). The course was in good condition. Greens are coming back from being punched. They rolled true, just a little grabby. The highlight of the day was the staff. They all were terrific. They deserve a raise or a commemortive coffee mug. They were quick, efficient and always had a smile.
rules
It is my favorite course in Lakaland, the price was high considering the conditions of the course and the fact that the greens had been aereated , it was posted on the Golf Pass booking, but I didn,t notice, however, when we got there we asked if we could play as a fivesome and were told that the rules didnt allow it, but when we started playing there were no groups behind us, so we ask the ranger if we could play as a five, and he refused. We had to play 18 holes in two groups and there was never anyone behind us. I can understand the rule, but in certain cases it could be adjusted, Because of that, we were not able to enjoy our round. Still,my favorite course.
All around great course
Friendly staff, course was in fantastic shape from tee to green. Glad I played white tees, plenty of opportunities to score well. Playing from the tips introduces many more challenges to carry.
Quiet and serene
Friendly staff, pristine greens, well maintained course. Lots of wildlife on course. Not many sand traps which I avoided. Just enough water holes to make play interesting. Did not stay and eat at restaurant, cannot comment.
Excellent course
This is a very good value for money course , most tees fairways and greens are in good shape, the only thing we missed was the beverage cart, with this heat it is a must
OMG
It’s not often you see a high rates course actually live up to the rating. Place was in pristine condition. Cart path only today but an amazing track.
Big Cypress South
Best kept secret in Central Florida. Great layout in the best condition in the area. A must play. Easily accessible off of I-4 in Lakeland on Rte 98.
Highland Reserve
One of my go to courses. Links style layout. No water to contend with, but course can challenge your skills.
Big Cypress
One of the best maintained courses in Central Florida. Great track with many challenging holes. Bring your A game. Several forced carry holes. One of my favorite courses.
