Cypress Hills Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Cypress Hills Golf Course?

You'll want to aim for late June through early September. The course is in peak condition then, and the long Canadian summer days mean you can often squeeze in an extra nine holes, enjoying the perfect weather and lush fairways. Early fall can also be stunning with the changing leaves, but be prepared for cooler temperatures.

What kind of challenge can I expect from the Cypress Hills layout?

Cypress Hills is a fantastic test of accuracy, not just brute strength. You'll find a classic mountain-style layout with significant elevation changes and tight, tree-lined fairways that demand precise shot-making, especially off the tee. Don't let the relatively shorter yardage fool you- this course will make you think on every shot.

What's the standout feature or signature hole at Cypress Hills that I shouldn't miss?

Without a doubt, the par-3 14th hole is the one everyone talks about. It plays significantly downhill to a green guarded by a natural rock outcropping on one side and a deep bunker on the other, offering breathtaking views of the valley below. It's a true postcard moment and a thrilling shot to execute.

How do the green fees at Cypress Hills compare to other Canadian courses, and is it good value?

We think Cypress Hills offers exceptional value for the quality of golf you're getting. While not a budget course, its green fees are generally more accessible than comparable championship courses further south, especially considering the pristine conditions and unique mountain experience. You'll feel like you got your money's worth and then some.

Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at Cypress Hills and what amenities should I know about?

The vibe here is wonderfully relaxed and genuinely Canadian-friendly. The clubhouse is cozy with a great patio overlooking the 18th green, perfect for a post-round drink and a casual meal. You'll also appreciate the well-stocked pro shop and the friendly staff who are always happy to share local tips.
