Cypress Lakes Golf Course

Cypress Lakes Golf Course sits in Hope Mills, a small town just west of Fayetteville in the Sandhills region of North Carolina. Designed by L. B. Floyd and opened in the mid-1970s, the course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the area's transition zone between the coastal plain and the Piedmont. The layout incorporates natural wetlands, mature pines, and several small lakes that come into play on multiple holes, giving the course its name and defining much of its strategic character. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and water features, requiring golfers to navigate both forced carries and approach shots where water guards greens. The design reflects the straightforward, playable style common to many municipal and semi-private courses built during that era in North Carolina, emphasizing accessibility for a range of skill levels while still presenting challenges through water hazards and greenside bunkering. Cypress Lakes operates as a public facility serving the Hope Mills and greater Fayetteville communities, including the nearby Fort Bragg military installation. The course provides a traditional golf experience in a region known for its military presence and proximity to the more celebrated Sandhills courses around Pinehurst and Southern Pines. The clubhouse offers standard amenities and the course remains a local option for everyday play in Cumberland County.
