Cypress Run Golf Club

Cypress Run Golf Club sits in Tarpon Springs on Florida's Gulf Coast, north of Tampa Bay in an area known for its Greek heritage and natural springs. The course was designed by Edward Lawrence Packard, a Florida-based architect who worked primarily in the state during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Packard's designs typically reflect the regional landscape and accommodate the flat terrain and water management needs common to Florida golf. The layout at Cypress Run incorporates the native cypress trees and wetlands characteristic of west-central Florida. The routing works through corridors of mature vegetation, with water hazards playing a significant role in strategy and shot placement. The course serves a residential community and operates as a semi-private facility, offering access to both members and daily-fee players. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge through water carries and strategically placed hazards. Tarpon Springs provides a distinct setting for golf in the Tampa Bay region, with the course benefiting from the area's natural beauty and relatively quiet atmosphere compared to more densely developed coastal zones. Cypress Run functions as a neighborhood amenity and local golf option, reflecting the community-oriented character typical of many Florida courses built during its era of development. The club offers standard amenities including practice facilities and a clubhouse serving golfers throughout the year in Florida's warm climate.
