Cypess Bend Golf Club---Many, LA

I've played probably 30 times over the life of the course.

I like it too. Definitely not a drivers course. The par 5's are fun, and neutralize long drivers by requiring irons or fairway woods off the tee.

17 is always fun to play. I played back in September on back to back days and was by myself, and still enjoyed it.

I played Lake Charles Country Club Saturday and was told by one of the players that played Cypress the same time as you that the course was not in its best condition. So, if you liked it then, it does get even better.

Haha. On 17, I shanked a 6 iron off the tee right but it hit a tree and bounced out not quite into the fairway, but it was clear view into the green about 120 yards out. The only problem was it was sitting on rock hard sand. I tried my best to chop down on a wedge and I skulled it over the green. I thought it was in the lake but when I walked over the ball was sitting on the grass about 2 feet in bounds. I had to carry a chip over a bunker into a short side pin. I fluffed it and it landed in the sand bunker. Then I calmly chipped it in the hole from a short side bunker for a routine par.

Actually I can't remember if that was 16 or 17, but it was one of the final holes.

Pretty course with great views. Seems inconsistent alot with being in good condition. Lay out not very impressive. Stupid par 5's, you lay up on 3 of the 4. Front nine better than the back. You always see deer there too. Not worth the price IMO.

I played it a few times. It's o.k. but kinda Micky Mouse-ish. I can't hit driver but a couple holes, which I don't find very entertaining.

I have played the course several times, the greens were never in good shape and for price you have to pay they need to be better than what they were. I suppose they want you to pay for the scenery that comes along with the course, very scenic course and somewhat challenging, sounds as if the course is in better shape than what it used to be.
