The Cypress Course at Bonita Bay Club in Bonita Springs, Florida, is one of five championship layouts within this expansive private community development along the southwestern Gulf Coast. Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in the early 1990s as part of Bonita Bay's phased golf course construction, Cypress reflects Hills's characteristic approach to Florida resort and residential design: strategic bunkering, generous landing areas, and thoughtful integration with the property's natural wetlands and preserve areas. The course takes its name from the native cypress strands that punctuate the layout, providing both visual definition and ecological context within the flat Southwest Florida terrain. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with water hazards appearing on roughly half the holes—typical for this region's golf architecture. Hills shaped modest elevation changes into the fairways and greens to create interest on otherwise level ground, and the bunkering style features the flowing, naturalistic edges common to his work from this period. Par is 72 from multiple tee configurations, accommodating a range of player abilities within the club's membership. Bonita Bay Club operates as a private equity club serving residents of the broader Bonita Bay community. The club's amenities extend beyond golf to include tennis, fitness, and dining facilities. The Cypress Course shares maintenance and operational standards with the club's other layouts, contributing to a golf program designed around variety and member access rather than championship tournament play.
