Grand Cypress Orlando Course Opinions

Hey I've been playing golf since last summer and I recently got the opportunity to go to this resort in march and to play 18 each day. I was just curious if any of you had played the courses there and what you found the difficulty to be because I feel a bit intimidated. But I couldn't pass up an opportunity like this!

Pics from my time there. Its a lot of fun, very scenic, has some very difficult holes, but as I said, she's a nasty fish.

There are 3 nines being the North, South and East courses, as well as, the New Course that is a links layout. We played the North/South combo from the Men's back (not the championship tees) at 6500 yards with a 72.0/131 rating and slope. The course is designed by Jack Nicklaus. A big fan of Nicklaus signature tracks and this one did not disappoint. A beautiful set up, very challenging but fair, excellent & exceptionally fast greens. Water and bunkers are strategically placed and not just for looks. The entire place was nice to be in. The club house is beautiful, with good locker room and pro shop. The bar and restaurant area are very classy with good food and drinks. Expensive as one would expect for a top notch resort, but not over the top in any way. Everyone was terrific in the service department. They list the place as private, but actually its a call in for a tee time deal. If you can splurge, or find someone else to pay for it, this is a course you want to play.
