Old Corkscrew Golf Club

After overpaying $260 because of a lack of public competition, we discovered that they heavily sand the greens every Monday night. Horrible surfaces that absolutely ruined an already tough course. Tuesday’s should definitely not be full fare if this is what you get.
Save your money and play elsewhere!

Great course. Ridiculously high greens fees. Got paired with 2 strangers who would tee off at the next hole while we were still putting the previous. Played later at the National at Ave Maria and had just as much fun for $50 instead of $520. Keep looking before booking here.

I had played this course last year and was very pleased with the course conditions and the complexity of playing it. This time, the course conditions were not as great, in particular the greens. We were told in preparation for an event, they had sanded the greens but had not rolled or cut them yet, however, they did not adjust the $269 green fees for providing a less than optimal conditions of play at a course that everyone has high expectations of.

One of our favorite courses to play when we are down here every March. This time around was very disappointing as the greens were recently top dressed and they were mostly unplayable. Course conditions including bunkers looked neglected as well. Apparently the course is under new ownership and we’ll give it a pass. It would have been nice to reduce the green fees a little bit to compensate for the green conditions.

One of my favorite courses to play in the area. Definitely a challenging layouts. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape, the greens were not. Probably wouldn’t pay $200+ for a round right now because of the greens.

Fantastic layout, fair play. If you were in trouble it was deserved. Tee blocks and fairways in good shape. Greens were sub par throughout course. First five greens are in rough shape, had to move ball from certain spots on green. Not currently worth 250 USD with the shape of greens.

Course came highly recommended, and the layout was great. But seriously, you can't charge $300 for greens that were top dressed and so slow they were unputtable. At least let us know beforehand, as this was like showing up to find greens that had been punched. Also, where on earth is 2 hot dogs, a double gin and tonic and a double vodka tonic $63? The conditions ruined our day.

Old Corkscrew is a great course and ordinarily we wouldn’t baulk at paying over $400 however the greens were covered in sand dressing so the rounds should have been much cheaper.

If it were not for the discounted rate that I received from GolfPass membership, I would have been disappointed with Old Corkscrew. I played 6-7 rounds there last spring and the course conditions were impeccable. 2022 was a different story. The first two greens had large areas of burnout that were somewhat hidden by an oversees/sand combination. . There were a number of other greens with burnout as well. Granted there hasn’t been much rain lately, but all the other courses I play have the same challenges and have managed much better. The fairways and tee boxes were in fine shape. The course layout is likely the most challenging public course in the Collier/Lee county area. If you want to test your game, this is the place.

Really enjoyed Old Corkscrew, interesting layout, pace of play excellent, warm up facilities great, staff was cordial and helpful, price was steep for what we got, but was inline with other Estero facilities, would play again
