Cypress Creek Golf Links is a daily-fee facility located in Laurinburg, a small town in Scotland County in the Sandhills region of southeastern North Carolina. The course was designed by Tom Jackson, a regional architect who has worked primarily in the Carolinas. The layout takes advantage of the area's gently rolling terrain and natural pine and hardwood corridors typical of this part of the state, which sits near the transition zone between the coastal plain and the more elevated Sandhills proper. The course plays through a landscape shaped by Cypress Creek and its tributaries, with water features coming into play on several holes. The routing incorporates the natural topography and vegetation, offering a mix of open and tree-lined holes that require strategic placement off the tee. As a public-access facility, Cypress Creek serves both local golfers and visitors traveling through the region, providing a straightforward test of golf without the elaborate conditioning or architectural pedigree of the more famous Sandhills courses to the north near Pinehurst. Laurinburg itself is a modest community known primarily as a college town and agricultural center. The golf course fits the character of the area—unpretentious and functional, designed to accommodate a range of skill levels while respecting the natural setting. It represents the kind of regional daily-fee golf that serves as the backbone of the game in smaller North Carolina towns.
