Grand Cypress Resort is home to 45 holes of Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf. The New Course was added in 1988 in addition to the North, South, and East nines for a total of four different 18-hole courses. Inspired by St. Andrews, well known as the birthplace of the game, Nicklaus designed the New Course as an homage to the renowned Old Course. He even created replicas of St. Andrews' most famous holes, including his own version of the infamous Road Hole. The traditional links design also features more than 150 bunkers, stone walls, and elevated tees. The greens are elevated as well and additionally, there are seven enormous double greens.

    Okay, the course was in great shape. Fairways were perfect, traps everywhere, very challenging. But two things. First, we were waiting on every hole because there were so many people on the course. It took almost six hours for us to play eighteen holes. Second, the service here is terrible. On the third hole, our GPS on the cart stopped working. They got us a new cart on the 5th hole. On the eighth hole, the screen went black. I called the clubhouse from the cart and from my cell phone (three times on the cell). Each time I was told a new cart would be right out. Never happened. No yardage book, no GPS (and you don't want to play this course without knowing how far away the traps are, believe me). For $125, a waste of money because the experience was terrible. Don't go.

    This course was fantastic! Great course conditions and fast greens made for one of my most memorable golfing experiences. I found local knowledge to be an asset on club selection into some of the pin tighter placements so I would recommend playing the course more than once to truly enjoy the whole experience. The staff was great and added to my enjoyment. I will definitely be back!

    Beautiful course, fairways were forgiving on some holes, tight on others. Greens were scary fast and well kept. I had a wonderful time (except maybe where I found the right green side bunker, just under the lip...you'll know the hole when you see it. Cheers!!)

    This course is a great test
    from the high handicap player to the low handicap player.

    Wind conditions will really
    set this course as difficult
    as one will endure.
