I had a prepaid tee time purchased a week in advance and was pushed back when the lying b______ in the threesome I was supposed to be playing with claimed he had booked a foursome and raised cane to get his buddy who had just walked up into the same group. The starter even admitted to me the guy was a liar. Poor form Cypress Lakes.

It has been a few years since this course has been in this good a shape. Big turnaround.

The greens were way better than last few times I was there. Course in good shape. Crowds scared away by weather today, played it in 2 hours 45 minutes. Awesome.

Course is great as always. I don't get the guy in the pro shop not wearing a mask after the patrons walk through doors on which signs are up that masks are required. That is inconsiderate and extremely poor form.

Walk up and there is no sign for masks. Go inside and none of the employees are wearing. Then two of the three guys I'm playing are wanting to shake my hand. There are no inserts in holes. I have played there before and always walked. Today they decide to give me a hard time about walking, saying they don't allow it on weekends. I was never holding anyone up and still a ranger felt a need to tell the guys I was playing with I needed to start walking right after I hit my ball. No hygiene, arbitrary changing rules on walking, harassment from rangers. And it's still basically a goat ranch. Never again.

Inside the loop, it goes up and down with elevation changes. In great shape.

Greens had been punched a few days before and they were brutal. They punched what looked like about 5/8" holes in the green. Not sure they would have been any good of they hadn't been punched--really brown, lots of bare spots. They have stopped maintaining the bunkers entirely, which just seems lazy. This course could be so good.

So much character. The elevation changes for course inside the loop! Not long but doesn't need to be. Great fun.

This is a nice course with fast greens. Some of the tee box were rock hard while a lot of areas around greens were mushy. The programming on the golf carts is absolutely insane. Get a little off the yellow brick road and the system locks out your cart. It's like a golf cart Big Brother and the golf cart secret police will be there soon.

Never has a course been devised to so totally destroy the pleasure of walking a round of golf. The average walk between holes is probably a quarter mile. Golf was meant to be walked! Otherwise a really fun round.

Much improved over when I played it early last year. Great layout. No two holes feel same. Makes good use of terrain. Shouldn't t allow five-somes on weekend though.

A lot of really good golf holes. You have to endure patches of St. Augustine randomly amongst the Bermuda. Fairways had longer patches, but no balls !let in fairway. Greens rolled true a little slow. Overall the really good collection on holes should be motivation to overlook the cosmetics.

The greens are a little ugly, but they roll perfectty. Course in very good shape. It's a challenge but a fair one.

Course in great shape. Fairways running hard and fast. Last 3 holes are excellent finishing holes. So many good golf holes. Good golf fun.

Greens are brand new, don't hold anything. Covered in green sand. A couple of fairways pretty rough. Every par 4 was 380 yards and straight away. Every par 3 was 180 yards. A couple interesting hole layouts otherwise they are all the same and nondescript.

This is a course one can count on to always provide a satisfying experience

Course is just so playable. Not too long, not too short, not gimmicky, just straight up enjoyable golf. In great shape.
