Cypress at Royal Poinciana Golf Club

Royal Poinciana Golf Club's Cypress course is a David Wallace design located in Naples, Florida, serving as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at this private club. Wallace, known for his work throughout Florida and the southeastern United States, created a course that navigates the flat, subtropical terrain characteristic of southwest Florida's Gulf Coast region. The routing incorporates native cypress trees, palms, and the wetland areas typical of Naples' low-lying landscape, with water features and natural preserves playing a role in the strategic design.

The course reflects the architectural approach common to upscale Naples developments from its era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining interest through strategic bunkering and water hazards. The flat topography means elevation change is minimal, placing emphasis on accurate approach play and course management around the water elements that define many holes. Greens are typically generous in size, consistent with resort-style Florida designs intended for year-round play in warm conditions.

Royal Poinciana caters to a membership that includes both full-time Naples residents and seasonal visitors, a common demographic profile for private clubs in this market. The club offers the amenities expected of a contemporary Florida golf community, with the Cypress course providing a complementary experience to the property's other eighteen holes. The setting takes advantage of Naples' natural beauty, with preserved areas of native vegetation framing the playing corridors.
