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.

Fine design, good conditions

If you can get a discount rate on Golf Now, this course is worth the trip to Smithfield. Though the day didn't start well with a somewhat surly staff, the course conditions were very good for November and the Ault/Strange design is interesting visually and just the right degree of challenge if you pick your tee boxes correctly. Greens were in fine shape, quite fast and smooth though a couple holes had placements that were almost impossible - #2 set in the middle of a kind of ridge you'd find on a putt-putt course and #9 so much slope that it was virtually impossible to keep a downhill putt on the green. Other than that (and try to keep the ball below the hole in general on this course) it was very fun on a somewhat blustery day - 15, 16, &17 is a challenging closing stretch with the reachable 18th sort of a reward for surviving those.

Natural beauty is unmatched in Tidewater!

Playing a round of golf at Cyprus Creek is just a pleasure. The course is always in great shape, the staff is friendly and the pace of play is the best in the area. The course has the most beautiful scenery in Hampton Roads. The holes run through lakes, rivers and tree lined fairways. The views of the surrounding fields and large homes are exquisite. All the holes are separated. Very relaxing. There are 5 tee sets for every level of player. The bent greens are large and a perfect speed with just the right undulation. Fairways are generous and the perfect Bermuda lies are the best around. Rough is just right. Many challenging shots await you. It's a great place to play for every skill level. Take a trip out to Smithfield! Cyprus Creek is the best kept secret in Tidewater!!

always a treat

course is always in good to very good shape. this time, fairways were excellent and greens were 'mending' well from recent aeration (notification of aeration clear & provided in advance!). sand traps were unkempt, but this is more the fault of inconsiderate golfers than course maintenance. club house folks cordial, snack bar girls very friendly/good service. will play here again soon
