Grand Cypress Academy of Golf

We golfed 2 of the 9 hole courses last summer and while we were here this year we golfed The New Course. It was a great course although double flagged greens are always a little odd. The staff is friendly and helpful. Lunch is a great option in the restaurant. The New Course is challenging enough with both undulating greens and fairways. The grasses in the rough ate plenty of my balls. 3 to be exact… With 2 falling prey to the water. Grand Cypress has become a tradition for us.

As good as advertised. Huge fairways that are still green in January! Lots of fun. Just hit away. The only complaint, forget marshals. Non existent. Slow play is grueling.

This place is really nice. It is the nicest course I have ever played on in fact. We played 2 holes and then a torrential downpour happened and got rained out. The staff was very easy going with the rain checks. I cant wait to get back on the course.

Grand Cypress New Course = Fun and Beautiful Day on the Links
Played the New Course while at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. The golf club is down the road and accessible by shuttle. They are taking great care of the place and the staff is very attentive.
Clubs provided for rental were a beautiful set of Pings that were sweet to hit with. All the staff you interact with are helpful and the Academy personnel aren’t pushy. it’s hard not to enjoy the experience.
The course itself is an obvious ode by Jack Nicklaus to St Andrews. He even designed the famed bridge and walls into the course. From tee boxes to fairways, to greens, the course is in excellent shape. I can recall only one hole that showed multiple pin movements to mess up the surface. There are the usual Nicklaus risk-​reward shots. I lost four balls trying to be better than I am. You know: Hit two great shots and one tends to get overconfident. Damn fairway woods and deep pocket bunkers!
If your a fan of the game, this is definitely a course to mark off on your list.

This is an incredible place to practice golf. Not only do the have a great range but three practice holes with varying tees and bunkers. If you are serous about getting better at gold, join the academy. It’s a bargain if you practice daily.
