Grand Cypress - New Course
Orlando, Florida | 18 holes | Links | Par: 72 | 6773 yards
The 17th green at Grand Cypress Resort - Links Course
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.

- Course was in pretty good shape except for hole no. 2 which was a complete swamp. Investing in some yardage markers on the sprinkler heads would be a wise move. If you don't have a rangefinder, which I don't because I figure it's 2018 and there's either a GPS or people have the decency to mark a sprinkler, you're kind of screwed. And they've gotta do a better job of dictating what flags you're playing to. All of that however is forgivable and fixable, what isn't was the small to medium size cockroach I found in my turkey and cheese croissant that I got from the cart server on the 14th hole. Little bastard scurried right out after I ate the whole first half. How the hell was I supposed to hit my tee shot on 16 when I'm wondering if I ate one of his buddies or not? And I promise you I'm not making this up. I'm dead serious and for that I'll probably never go back.First timer and it was excellent. Tough to play on a few holes without course knowledge but you will get by . hang on and enjoy.Course was excellent. Despite the recent heavy rains, the course was not overly wet. The greens are very large and moderate in speed but putted true. I can imagine during the dryer months or if they want to quicken them up, this course could become much more difficult. Beware of the false fronts and having other golf balls landing on the double greens takes a little getting used to but only adds to the fun of the day.
The fairways are almost too wide to miss but staying out of the punishing bunkers not so easy. I happened to stay out of them on this day but may not be so lucky on the next. There are close to 150 of them out there. Some are so deep there are stairs going down into them.
Beautiful and fun layout with hawks flying everywhere that can be seen carrying fish and small rodents as they fly by.
The staff was incredibly friendly and can't imagine what could've made the day any better. Having lived in Florida for 17 years I've played a lot of very nice courses. I don't remember having a more enjoyable round than I did on this wonderful layout.Course conditions: best in the Orlando area.
Service was excellent.
Practice facility is fantastic.
Course is great for all handicaps.
Overall: A wonderful experience each time i've played.
Fantastic play for reasonable rates.
Looking forward to returning.
Thanks you, Grand Cypress & staff.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!!)
