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.

Great Staff, horrible greens.

The staff is amazing and wonderful. Cannot believe how bad the greens and tee boxes were for the prime season down here in Florida. They were horrendous for the amount of money we paid to play.

Disappointed

Need to adjust the rates until course conditions improve. I have played this course 10 times in the past 5 years and this was the worst condition I have seen in 5 years. This course used to be nice but now it seems The greens have some sort of disease and were basically unplayable. Usually a very nice course and they should lower the rates until they get the conditions back to where they used to be. Range is basically dirt with a slight grass covering…should just convert to mats.

Old Corkscrew

Super friendly staff. Starter moved us up 30 minutes as a twoballl ahead of 2x 3 balls and we sailed around in 3 hrs 25 minutes . Caught up to another 3 ball for last 4 holes.

Course lay out fantastic but greens are still suffering from summer but improving and maintain good pace and roll over surfaces.

Check if greens recently aerated before you go

We were unaware that the greens were recently aerated which made playing the course a big disappointment. Greens were sandy, bumpy, and punched. No wonder there were very few members playing that day.

Sad

Was once a great course. Now it seems more about volume than quality of play. Course was disappointing especially the greens.

Final round of trip

What a treat to complete a 4 day golf trip with! The course was beautiful being completely in nature (no homes in sight!) and in immaculate condition. Although there were a lot of places to find trouble there were generous landing areas and opportunities to score well. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Greens are very bad but playable, avoid until fixed

Greens are rough but playable, they look worse than they play but very disappointing that there isn’t advance notice or concession on price. About 5-7 greens have large patches of no grass that you have to navigate. Course is in great shape aside from the greens.

Greens are playable but avoid until fixed

The greens look terrible and a handful do have bare spots but overall they played ok. The fact there is no heads up or concession on price considering the conditions is highly disappointing. Excellent layout and there appears to be effort into repairing the greens but it’s long way out.

Disappointing

The first time we played this course we were in awe. Incredible course layout for the price. However his time around we paid the same amount and the green conditions were pathetic to say the least. There was no green. All brown mud. There was no notice when we booked. The course layout is still one of the best in Florida. But the greens were so bad that it was not enjoyable. Plus the pace of play was slower than what we expect from a premium cost course. We teamed up with 2 other groups on the last hole so that we could all finish. Lastly we stayed for food this time and the pub restaurant was not a premium place. The staff was ext really pleasant but thought it should have offered a better assortment of food and drinks for the type of course

Great Course, But green need repair.

Beautiful and challenging layout ! Green are in rough conditions, balls jump and get caught in open non-grass areas on green. I would not recommend playing course till green are fixed.
