Cypress Bend occupies a distinctive setting along the shores of Toledo Bend Reservoir in western Louisiana, near the Texas border. Designed by Dave Bennett and opened in the early 1990s as part of a resort and conference facility, the course takes advantage of the rolling terrain and mature pine forests characteristic of this region. The property sits within a landscape shaped by the reservoir's creation, offering elevation changes uncommon in much of Louisiana's flatter coastal plain. The routing moves through corridors of longleaf and loblolly pines, with several holes playing along or near the water's edge. Bennett's design incorporates the natural topography, creating a layout that requires thoughtful club selection and course management rather than relying solely on length. The combination of wooded holes and occasional water views provides variety throughout the round, with the reservoir serving as both scenic backdrop and strategic element on select holes. Cypress Bend functions as the centerpiece of a resort property that includes lodging and conference facilities, making it a destination for both leisure golfers and corporate groups visiting the Toledo Bend area. The course serves recreational players drawn to the region's fishing and outdoor recreation, offering a golf experience integrated with the broader resort amenities. Its location in the Sabine Parish area positions it as one of the more established golf facilities in this part of northwestern Louisiana.
