ypress Point was designed by Alister Mackenzie in 1928. The course is located very near its famous neighbor in Pebble Beach, California. It is widely considered one of the world's greatest golf courses. Yet, it is so exclusive, that few ever play it. The site which the course resides on is a rich mix of varying terrain's. British golf historian Pat Ward-Thomas explains, “No golf architect was more richly endowed with natural features for his work than Alister Mackenzie at Cypress Point. Majestic woodland, a hint of links and heathland here and there and the savage nobility of the coast made for unforgettable holes.” The incredible setting also prompted this statement from the writer O.B. Keeler, “The whole place resembled the crystallization of the dream of an artist who had been drinking gin and sobering up on absinthe.” My recreation of Cypress Point will be released in August of 1998. I have to thank Brent Blackburn and Irv Miller for all their invaluable help. More details on Cypress Point can be found in the text file that is included with the course.

The infamous and spectacular 16th hole.

The 17th is one of the best in the world.
