Where do you start with Cypress Point Club? I don’t know, so I won’t. You just marvel!

There is nothing to say that hasn’t already been said about this place so I will just add a very little commentary and post a few of the best pictures.

A couple of very honest observations…there are a two moderately mediocre holes.

#2 at CPC is very similar to #2 of Maidstone and at any random course in the country would probably go unnoticed to many.

and

#11 to be the longest par 4 on the course is still only a drive and a 6 iron.

Now with that said, I STILL THINK Cypress Point is a golf treasure and my #2 in the world behind Pine Valley and just a head of Royal County Down. To me, all three of these courses are in a league of their own.

Panorama of the Sistine Chapel!

Hole #1 Approach

Hole #2 Approach Shot

Hole #3 You never get tired of this great bunkering…pardon the shadows.

Hole #4

Hole #5 Tee Shot, Gosh, this might be one of the best holes in the world. No one seems to talk about how great this hole is!

Hole #5 My goodness, these fairways bunkers and strategy are unrivaled. I could play this hole 18 times and call it a day!

Hole #6 This bunker looks very much like the bunker in the middle of the fairway at Augusta #10
