Probably the best golfing experience anyone could ask for. Playing Cypress Point was absolutely unforgettable, a true bucket-list experience. The course is perfectly divided into three sets of six holes, each offering a completely different feel and challenge.

Pretty wide fairways, interesting greens complexes (was like putting on ice when I played), and great views.

The contour and structure of the greens make you have to think on every shot. You have some incredible holes on the ocean, like the par 3 13th, but the inland holes, like the short 6th hole are great too.

Tucked away on a 20,000 acre preserve, this Fazio is actually quite good. Green complexes are challenging but fair. Total package is awesome but likely gets a little overshadowed by nearby legends.
