The Grand Cypress Course, comprising the North, South and East nines, offers a variety of physical and mental stimuli and provides a test of accuracy rather than strength and distance. The North and South nines, the original course built in 1984, features terraced fairways, generous landing areas, mounds and platformed greens with yawning bunkers. The East nine, added in 1986, is more generous, with less bunkering, particularly in front of the greens, allowing more run-up shots. The New Course at Grand Cypress, which opened in 1988, adds another dimension of play with steeper and more challenging bunkers and slopes. Set in the midst of an open meadow, the New Course was inspired by the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. Visions of the St. Andrews course appear throughout the New Course at Grand Cypress, including pot bunkers as deep as 12 feet, seven large, double greens, a snaking burn (creek) on three holes, stone walls along the 15th and 17th holes (resembling the 17th hole at St. Andrews, known as the "Road Hole") and even a stone bridge. Very little water comes into play and few trees are located within the interior of the course, allowing ample room to drive the ball.
