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.

On my list

Played as a foursome. Course was in great condition. Greens were slick and maybe a bit firm. Beautiful challenging layout with lots of wildlife. Primarily a community members course, we were made welcome by the friendly staff and members alike. Public carts could use an upgrade. Most residents have their own carts. All in all a great experience. Will definitely be back!
