Cypress Lake Golf Club

Had the privilege of playing this course a couple weeks ago.Outstanding Dick Wilson design restored a few years ago by the Forse Nagle team They did an excellent job.Its a challenging yet fun layout with all of Mr.Wilson architectural hallmarks.The members I was paired with are friendly and true golfers.The pro Jon Pezdora is a first class gentleman and tremendous ambassador for the club and the Dick Wilson Golf Society.His assistant,whose name I forget but who is from the Chicago area was wonderful to speak with also.I very much enjoyed playing this fine course and learning about its interesting history.At one time it was the home club for both Gene Sarazen and Patty Berg.Indeed not to be missed is a visit to the clubhouse lobby to view the Club's collection of Patty Berg memorabilia.This Club and its fine course are gems !

Many of us live on a lake by the golf course. Some of us for over 20 years. They are now putting up a 6 foot chain-link fence and trees to block our view completely. . They tell us it is because of vandals (what are they gonna do… swim across the lake with alligators in it?). If vandals want to get in… they will … usually teenagers whether there’s a fence or not. If it was liability they would have to fence the entire lake even on the golf course side.. There is no reasoning with the golf club manager who is actually not even the decision maker. Several of us met with him and he pretty much said “too bad.” We were trying to offer alternative solutions to no avail. We asked to be put on the agenda for the next board meeting and we were completely ignored . What this is going to do is devalue all of our properties and ruin our beautiful view. There is really no reason for them to do this other than the fact that they just don’t want us to have a view... I have many friends that live on golf courses with a view and they don’t have to deal with this nonsense. Shame on them for this.!!!

This was my first time on this golf course. I was surprised that this beautiful golf course was located right in the middle of Fort Myers. The greens were impeccable, the fairways in perfect condition and there was really no "rough" to be found. I was greeted with a friendly hello from each and every staff member I came across. My wife and I had a great time and really enjoyed every hole of this gorgeous golf course. If you get a chance to golf this course, I highly recommend it!
