Cypress Creek Golfers' Club
semi-private
600 Cypress Creek Pkwy
Smithfield, VA 23430
(757)365-4774, fax (757)365-9500
This course is ideal for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. With the rolling hills and variety of trees, a player has the feeling of being in a mountain range area. Carts are mandatory on this course, which features nine water hazards in play on ten holes. Sixty bunkers also guard the greens, making this layout beautiful but very challenging to all players. Each hole was designed to be unique, therefore, there is no real signature hole.
