The Soul of Cypress Point | Inside Golf’s Most Mystical Club

Jump to Comments

By: Golf.com | Duration: 00:15:16


Video Description

Cypress Point has long been called golf’s Sistine Chapel, a course as mysterious as it is beautiful. In this video, Michael Bamberger walks alongside Sam Reeves, Harris Barton, and the people who live and work inside the gates of this legendary club.

From the dune that Alister MacKenzie built around, to the vision of Samuel Morse and Marion Hollins, to the culture that has shaped members, caddies, and staff for decades, Cypress Point is revealed not just as a golf course, but as a community and a work of art.

With rare access to the land, the clubhouse, and the stories that define this place, this is a portrait of Cypress Point you won’t find anywhere else.

    This might sound like a dumb question did this walker cup happen yet. I keep getting cypress videos. But no one tells me when this thing is. Or was.

    A beautiful tribute. The difference between the Sistine Chapel and Cypress Point is I can go and see the Sistine Chapel, I'm pretty sure I will never get to play Cypress.

    "Come and see". Too bad none of us will ever be able to do that. Pebble, yes. Cypress, no.

    Cypress Point is undoubtedly the best golf course in the world. I have read so many wonderful things about The Club leading up to the Walker Cup. It sounds like just an outstanding membership. It would be an absolute dream for me to be able to play Cypress Point.

    The mystique of the Cypress combined with the culture of the members (which I never knew until after this video) seems to be what makes Cypress Point is so special. Its a perfect metaphor of golf itself. Great piece. Thanks for sharing.

    Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but for a course to be one of the greatest ever it needs to be accessible to the public.

    One of the more tone-deaf videos I've ever seen. "Everybody should come out here…" as if it weren't one of the most exclusive, discriminatory places in the country. I wonder how many people of color have been allowed to walk this "sacred" spot. And extra points for brain damaged Harris Barton for confusing "Dalai Lama" for "Taj Majal", lol. The super wealthy never fail to amaze me with their ability to keep their heads firmly planted in the sand.
