Cypress Knoll Course


About this course
Pine Lakes at Cypress Knoll Course in Palm Coast, Florida, is an Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design that reflects the partnership's extensive work throughout Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Palmer and Seay collaborated on numerous courses across the state, typically emphasizing playability for resort and residential golfers while incorporating the natural characteristics of Florida's coastal and inland landscapes. The course sits within the broader Palm Coast area, a planned community along Florida's northeast Atlantic coast that developed significantly from the 1970s onward and became home to multiple golf facilities. The routing likely takes advantage of the region's relatively flat terrain, native pine and palmetto vegetation, and the presence of wetlands and water features common to this part of Florida. Palmer-Seay designs from this era generally featured generous fairways with strategic bunkering, elevated greens to aid drainage, and water hazards that come into play on approach shots. The courses were typically designed to accommodate a range of skill levels while providing enough challenge from the back tees for accomplished players. Palm Coast's golf courses serve both residents and visitors, and the area's mild climate allows for year-round play. The community's golf facilities have contributed to its identity as a golf-oriented destination within Florida's extensive network of residential golf developments. Pine Lakes functions as part of this regional golf landscape, offering a Palmer-Seay layout in a setting defined by coastal Florida's characteristic vegetation and water management systems.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Cypress Knoll Course route through Jacksonville International Airport, roughly forty-five minutes north along Interstate 95, though Orlando's larger hub lies ninety minutes southwest for those connecting from farther afield. The drive east from Jacksonville trades urban sprawl for the low, moss-draped canopy of coastal Florida, eventually spilling into Palm Coast's quiet grid of golf communities and tidal waterways. As the highway gives way to tree-lined residential boulevards, the approach feels less like arrival at a destination than a gentle retreat into the unhurried rhythm of Florida's Intracoastal - a fitting prelude to the serene, understated character of Cypress Knoll itself.
