Old Corkscrew Golf Club

About
Carved from forests of towering oaks and pines, Old Corkscrew Golf Club exhibits all of the superior characteristics that define Nicklaus Signature courses. The absence of houses around the golf course adds to the secluded and peaceful feel that is provided by the dense thickets of trees that surround it. Jack Nicklaus himself was a prominent presence throughout every phase of the course's construction, incorporating well balanced holes that vary in direction, look, and feel. Proper club selection will be greatly rewarded on this golf course. The fast-paced, undulating greens sit up to 20 feet above the lush, rolling fairways, which can create some tricky pin placements if you're not careful. Old Corkscrew Golf Club's fairways are rather generous, but they are framed by carefully sculpted bunkers. Several large ponds come into play on nearly every hole and there are also numerous sand traps strategically placed along the greensides.

Corkscrewed
Hey love this course, its going private soon so get your rounds in!!! Greens can be iffy, but the course is a great layout! Staff rocks
the course layout was brutal with so many blind shots which ended up in water or hazard. kind of stupid.
Played It Again!
Fantastic layout, greens are now amazing. What a great place to play for under $100! This is becoming my favorite course.
Another great outing
As always corkscrew didn’t let us down, course was a little beat up but we still enjoyed it and it is still one of our favorite courses to play.
You got corkscrewed
Must play! Highly recommend. Hardest course in the area. Maybe even borderline unfair. But extremely fun if u like a challenge. A lot of palmettos lining the fairways. Be sure to bring enough golf balls. Keep your ball below the pin out here. Play to the wide spots in the fairways. Strategy is key out here. Conditions were good despite airefication holes , made it even harder but didn’t affect putts much. Will be back. 👌🏻
Good course but not when plugged
Nice course but not worth what they charged since plugged.should just charge the cart fee. So didn’t really play the course. Sure it’s a fun challenge when in good shape.
cow pasture golf
On arrival no one told us that the first 7 holes were being aerated completely across the fairways. The holes were the size of Dallas with the added misery of 100s of biting flying flies hitting you nonstop. Not a pleasant day especially for what we paid.
Most ALL of the ladies tee makers were right along with the mens - whomever placed them needs to take a biology class - totally wrong. Woman usually have only one tee marker - the men need to step back .
This was not our first time to play there - what a difference as well as a disappointment.
Save your money and play anywhere but there.
Wait a bit
Course is in terrible shape. Greens and fairways have just been punched. Bunkers need sand.
Take Advantage Now
Nice track in the outskirts of Estero. Course is very challenging but rewarding (if you score well). Get out during this off-season while the rates are low. You won’t find a better course at this price. Lots of nature and wildlife. A true Florida course. Golf it now to see if you want to become a member when it goes private!
As an aspiring professional trying to get my card. I absolutely loved this track!!! I don't get where the bad reviews came from. The course was in superb condition! I loved the layout and how you walk from the green directly to next tee on 13 of the holes! So for walking it doesn't get better than this! I would pay to play here 7days a week over any other courses I've played in the state of Florida. I played three other courses last week alone on golf now and not 1 of them could hold a candlestick to this course & paid more at the others.. So for the jokers that said this place was bad, im sure it was really your game.... Also, 1 last thing to add, THIS IS A JACK NICKLAUS SIGNATURE DESIGN .. Really should I say more! The Golden Bear/ GOAT designed this course! I will be booking here as many times a week as I can!
Thanks as well to your amazing and courteous staff y'all have there at Old Corkscrew! I would truly consider going fully private and not even allow jokers of the game to see your magnificent masterpiece you have hidden out there! Thanks again!
Great course
Expensive, but worth the money if you get a good deal, only nature, no houses around
A Must Play Course
We enjoyed this course a lot of hazards and definitely challenging. Course condition was very nice considering the current Florida draught. If you find yourself in the drink; heed to the wildlife alligators make it known they love it there. Overall fantastic time and we will return again!
