Big Cypress Golf Club in Lakeland, Florida

“We had a nice round at Big Cypress on the South course. Staff are friendly and we teed off a bit early. Pace of play was 4 hours (4some) which was good. Course is in decent shape for Feb - fairways are a bit dry but the greens are in great shape. Run fast and true so fun to play. Back nine is tight with some scenic holes. Even saw some wildlife as we played. Great day!”

“I lived here for just at 14 months. My husband & I moved here to help take care of his mother during the last year of her life as she didn't want to leave her home of 33 years there. Cypress Lakes is a beautiful place of beauty with all of the rolling hills on the golf course, big Cypress trees that surround the community and the best part is the amazing wild life there. Everything from a rare sighting of an Eagle…”

“Played their South course in early May 2025. It is well maintained especially the greens. They are fast challenging and in excellent condition. Avoid shots to greens that put you above the pin, this course will punish you severely. There is a lot of water and bunkers as well. A bonus is that there is an abundance of wildlife on and around the course. I saw wild turkeys, large turtles, deer, sandhill cranes and an…”

“For the money, probably the best course in the area. Tee boxes showing signs of wear, but useable, fairways in great shape and greens are excellent. Stimp speed is appropriate for the slopes and put true and consistently. Sand traps had plenty of soft sand and with right technique were straightforward to get out. Speed of play was 3:50 hours, which is reasonable 4 ball speed. If you look, there is also wildlife and…”

“I really liked playing here! The greens were excellent for my standards. Although, we only played the front nine and the highest PAR is a four; my son and I and Marty still had a great time. PROS: * Inexpensive to play there, $64 for the three of us to play (9 holes only); electric golf cart was included in the price. * I got to see an alligator bathing in the sun (You won’t see that at Chambers Bay!). We also seen…”

“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…”

“Big Cypress Golf & Country Club is located within the 55+ gated community of Cypress Lakes on Route 98 in Lakeland, Florida, and is one of the most active adult communities in Florida. Both golf courses at Cypress Lakes are built on a swamp so the surrounding terrain is perfectly flat. Florida golf is characterized by water, sand, and palm trees and Big Cypress is no different. Water comes into play on at least 11…”
