Cypress Lakes Golf & Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is Cypress Lakes for a mid-handicapper, especially with all that water?

Cypress Lakes definitely keeps you honest, especially if your ball tends to stray. The water hazards are plentiful and strategically placed, demanding thoughtful club selection and precise iron play to avoid penalty strokes. We found it a fair challenge, but you'll want to bring your A-game for accuracy.

When's the best time of year to play Cypress Lakes for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We highly recommend visiting Cypress Lakes in the late fall or early spring. The weather is usually perfect-crisp but comfortable-and the course is in prime condition after the summer heat or before it really kicks in. You'll also find the pace of play much more relaxed than during peak holiday seasons.

What are the must-play holes or unique features at Cypress Lakes that make it stand out?

You absolutely have to experience the stretch from holes 13 to 15; it's a fantastic risk-reward sequence. The par-3 14th, playing over a significant portion of the lake, is a real beauty and a true test of nerve. Beyond that, the mature cypress trees framing many fairways give the course a distinctive, classic Southern feel.

Is Cypress Lakes worth the green fee, and what kind of overall experience should I expect?

We think Cypress Lakes offers excellent value for the experience. The course is consistently well-maintained, and the staff are genuinely welcoming, making you feel right at home. You're paying for a solid, enjoyable round on a scenic course that delivers on its promise of a classic golf day.

Are there good practice facilities at Cypress Lakes, or should I warm up elsewhere?

You'll be pleased with the practice facilities here; they're more than adequate for a proper warm-up. There's a decent driving range where you can hit a full bucket, along with a dedicated chipping green and a large putting green that accurately reflects the speeds you'll find on the course. We always arrive a bit early to take advantage.
