Noted designers Arthur Hills and Mike Dasher created this course in 1992, and it has stood the test of time environmentally. This very popular course is known for having some of the best greens in the county. They’re difficult because they’re fast and they have a lot of contours that make them challenging. They’re very characteristic of Arthur Hills’ work.

The course is owned by the City of Port Orange, but is widely praised for its excellent management and its course conditions. It is maintained as well as private clubs and big resort courses, but still has reasonable rates. Cypress Head is often described as "THE PUBLIC COURSE YOU'LL WANT TO PLAY AGAIN AND AGAIN."
