Description

Overview

Cypress Lake Golf Club, founded in 1959, is the oldest private club in Fort Myers. The course is a Dick Wilson design restored in 2017 with regrassed tees and fairways (Celebration Bermuda), new runway tee boxes, re-built bunkers, and New TifEagle Bermuda Greens. It is unusual among area golf courses in that it is set on a rectangular piece of land with no residential areas except on its external boundaries. While most members use carts, the layout makes it ideal for the golfer who enjoys walking. Wildlife find it an agreeable home site, and golfers share the course with great blue herons, egrets, ibis, an occasional alligator, several varieties of large turtles, our resident ospreys, and many other creatures that seem to understand that passing humans are no threat to them. The club has an extensive practice facility for the 160+ single digit handicappers to hone their skills.
