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.

This course is a gem and the BEST value I have found in this area of Florida. The fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. The greens held shots, rolled true, and were quick. The staff were friendly and accommodating, even though it was layer in the day and they were booked solid. I wish I could have come back and played again before going home. Don't miss this fun and interesting course!!
Great shaoe
I was very impressed with the conditions of the course. Every aspect was excellent. Only issue was pace of play. It wasn’t slow play, as all the players moved along nicely and hit the ball well and were playing the appropriate tees. It was just too many people on the course. Tee times need to spread out more to allow more room between groups. I realize everyone needs to make their money in winter but it would deter me from playing again and that’s a shame since the course was beautifully prepared and presented!!
Nice course compared to other local ones
Great course for the price. That’s why I’ve went twice in the last 30 days. Tee boxes are alright by fairways and especially the greens are in nice condition. Greens are a good fast roll.
A variety of birds and also baby to large gators all around the South course.
I booked north course until I realized it’s half the yardage with over 10 par 3’s. Keep that in mind.
Clubhouse is nice and Philly flatbread is pretty good as well.
If the price remains this way for winter it would keep me coming back. It beats Huntington hills and other courses in Lakeland for the price.
Most of the south course is narrow and somewhat challenging depending what you compare to.
I’d recommend this course to avid golfers.
Remarkable
From start to finish everything was fantastic. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled as expected or seen. There are some holes where target golf is needed to help you stay away from trouble and get to the green.
The residents do t let you play through, at least not the ones that I ran into at about hole 14. They knew we were there but didn’t offer to let us through.
Overall this course was amazing. I highly recommend playing here
Great Day!
Enjoyed the course and layout. Course was in great shape including tees, fairways, and greens that rolled true. Ended up playing the round in @4.5 hrs which was the only downside. There was a little waiting on the first several holes, but then it became better as the round went on. Lots of wildlife and gators which added to the beauty of the course. The course is in a community but the houses were not right on top of the course and the fairawys were plenty wide so if your tee shots leaked a little you weren't overly punished. Definitely will play it again.
