About this course
Cypresswood Golf Club, carved into the heart of Spring, Texas, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of accessible, quality golf for Houstonians. While Cypresswood doesn't boast major championship heritage, it's history is rich amongst local golfers and has remained the centerpiece of competitive golf in the Spring, Texas area for 45 years. Designed by Keith Fergus, Cypresswood’s two distinctly different 18-hole layouts—the Tradition Course and the Cypress Course — present contrasting challenges. The Tradition Course, with its generous fairways and strategically placed bunkers, offers a more forgiving experience, welcoming players of all skill levels. The Cypress Course, with tighter lies and more demanding approaches, favors shot-makers, and has long been a favorite of those willing to take it on. Both courses wind through dense stands of mature trees, creating a classic Texas parkland feel. Cypresswood's enduring legacy rests on its commitment to the local golf community. Generations of Spring-area golfers have honed their skills within its grounds. Local lore suggests that the post-round gatherings in the clubhouse are as integral to the Cypresswood experience as the golf itself, fueled by camaraderie and the recounting of memorable shots and near misses.

Getting there
Cypresswood Golf Club sits in the northern suburbs of Houston, most easily reached via Houston's two major commercial hubs - either George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), roughly 35 miles northeast, or William P. Hobby (HOU), about 40 miles south - with drive times of 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic patterns through the sprawling metropolitan area. For those arriving by private aircraft, Houston Executive Airport (HOU-EFD) and Ellington Airport offer considerably shorter ground transitions. The final leg carries you north through the quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods of Spring, where the club's championship layout emerges amid mature cypress and pine, a verdant sanctuary that feels worlds removed from the urban density left behind on the drive north.
