East/North at Grand Cypress Golf Club

Grand Cypress Golf Club, located in Orlando, Florida, opened in 1984 as part of a larger resort development. Jack Nicklaus designed all 45 holes at the property, which are divided into the New Course and three nine-hole layouts: the North, South, and East. The North and East nines combine to form one of the 18-hole configurations available to guests and members, offering a representative sample of Nicklaus's design approach during this period of his architectural career.

The courses at Grand Cypress occupy relatively flat central Florida terrain, typical of the Orlando area, with water hazards and strategic bunkering serving as the primary design features. Nicklaus incorporated generous fairways and large, undulating greens that reward accurate approach play. The routing takes advantage of the property's lakes and natural wetlands, which come into play on multiple holes across both nines. Mature landscaping, including pines and palms, frames many holes and provides definition to the layout.

The facility operates primarily as a resort amenity, serving guests of the Grand Cypress Resort as well as outside play. The North and East combination, along with the South/East pairing, provides variety for multi-round visits. The property's proximity to Walt Disney World and other Orlando attractions has made it a popular destination for golf travelers seeking quality daily-fee golf in the region. The club also features practice facilities and instruction programs typical of upscale resort golf operations.
