Cypress Creek Golfers' Club was carefully carved from the mature hardwood forests and centuries old peanut fields of Smithfield. The peacefully secluded setting is the ideal environment for a round of golf and the challenging design will have you using every club in your bag. The golf course will reward creative shot-making and thoughtful strategy but it is not overly punishing for the high handicapper. The rolling terrain provides plenty of challenging ups and downs throughout and there are many water holes, including the memorable ninth, a short par 4 with an island green. Cypress Creek Golfers' Club even has its own "amen corner" that starts with the par-4 15th, moves on to the waterlogged 16th, and finishes with another par 4, an uphill hole that is the toughest of the trio.

Great time!

This was a very enjoyable course to play. The course was in great shape for the time of year and the bermuda was dormant but extremely playable. The pace of play was very good, in spite of the frost delay that occurred in the morning well before our round. We were matched up with a couple of local fellows that help us negotiate the layout. We found the layout to be challenging, but fair.

BEST COURSE IN THE SOUTHERN HAMPTON ROADS, VA AREA

The course is full of a variation of challenges, which made for a fulfilling and fun round. A few holes are surrounded by beautiful homes, but they never feel too close for comfort. Give the course a try, I am sure you'll be glad you did.

Way too early

Late March & early April is too early to play golf in Virginia! Dormant burmuda grass & spiked top dressed greens results in poor playing conditions. However, one month later would be pleasant. The course is player friendly. Relatively wide open for the first 13 holes until you reach the final 5 holes.

My "go to" course

Always a pleasure to play this course. Best playability when weather is bad. Has its own "Bear Trap" 15, 16, 17 will take any strokes back. 9 can be a front side wrecker. Plenty of challenging holes. Great staff. Used to host a lot of tournaments, but never too busy. Course is always well maintained. Never disappointed. Food in Smithfield is pretty good too.

Great Price, good course

Course was in fair shape due to weather, but greens we're good. Lots of wet spots as to be expected. Played around 1030 and had wide open play till 16th hole. Will definitely go back.

Great value

We played midweek in Jan. The course was wet, after a snow melt. Cart path only but the pace of play was tolerable. Challenging layout on the back nine with ample opportunities to lose a ball. I know single handicappers who play this course regularly and keep returning. The staff takes pride in the course and facilities. Good value and fun course.

A course to return to

I thoroughly enjoy this course, the design, the challenge, the staff, the conditions, are all very good. The design is excellent, starting out with a couple of fair - but not TOO easy - par 4's that allow you to warm into the round without much trouble. These are followed by a bunch of challenging holes that don't repeat themselves. Nice elevation changes throughout, well designed and well placed hazards ( #15, 16, 17) are the strongest challenges, and #9 is a beauty / and a beast. I will return to this course anytime I get back to this area.

Worth the trip

This course continues to be a recommended spot seasonally. We have had a lot of rain so far this Spring. Course wet but greens in good condition. Very few areas of standing water or GUR. Visually appealing. Not narrow so plenty of room for errand shots. Residential course but not tight so not a lot of out of bounds.

Great greens and great day of weather.

The greens were great shape. The pace of play was terrible with a special grouping playing before us. Overall the weather was great but pace of play really messed with our tempo and focus on the course and scoring. I would recommend the course for customer service but it needs a course marshal. The cart lady had a big smile and came by often. Great 19th hole bar and grill.

Great course for the money. Fairways and greens were in good condition with only a few wet spots. Can't wait to play it again when the grass comes in.

Nice hidden gem!

The course was awesomely scenic, plenty of teeth and challenging but not overly difficult. Big smooth, perfect surfaces for the confident putter. Had a great time and will definitely be returning again soon!

Made a 50 minute drive to get here....Well worth it!

Course was in wonderful shape. Well kept and clean. A neat design which allowed for views into the backwaters. Very scenic. Course was fairly open, but well placed clusters of trees made shot selection very important. If it wasn't for a golfnow.com deal, I would not have played this course. I will be back again.
