Villas of Grand Cypress

A boutique 146-villa property near the Disney corridor with 45 holes of Jack Nicklaus golf and a dedicated academy on site.

The property

The Villas of Grand Cypress sit a few miles from the Grand Cypress New Course, Nicklaus's tribute to St Andrews, with three additional nines and a teaching academy that draws golfers building instruction into the trip. The 146 units come with full or partial kitchens, separate living areas, and enough room for groups of three or four to share without compromise. Waldorf Astoria and the Bonnet Creek properties sit within 15 minutes.

What to expect

This is a quieter alternative to Orlando's larger resorts. A pool, spa, tennis, rock climbing, fishing, and bicycles handle non-golf hours, and the Nine18 restaurant covers on-site dining without requiring a car. The character leans toward villa lifestyle and golf focus rather than theme-park-adjacent spectacle, which appeals to groups wanting separation from the tourist density of International Drive.

Rates and booking

$200 to $538 per night, positioning the Villas in the upper-mid range. The on-site Nicklaus golf and the villa format justify the premium over standard hotel rooms at similar prices. Book direct or through your preferred booking partner.
