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.

Jack's spot!!

Loved the layout, very challenging and beautiful. Played the day of a sfpga tournament, which was awesome. Did not try the food, other than the best hotdog I have personally ever had. This course is a must see and the hot dog a must on the turn!!

Great Nicklaus Course. Conditions could be better.

Great course and great layout. Also very good staff. Always welcoming. Greens need much attention. Many bunkers need literally tons of sand added each as some are unplayable. If you get a good score at this difficult layout, it's a real accomplishment.

Give it some time

This course is in pitiful shape. The greens are unplayable and the course should be shut

For a period of time until the greens return. Old Corkscrew was an unbelievable course at one time but no longer. Don’t waste your money.

Incredible course

Such an incredible course worth every penny. Unfortunately the greens were sanded which I came to understand is common this time of year. If it weren’t for sanded greens it is 100% a must play course. I will for sure be back.

Wow!

Used to be my favorite course, great track. Hard but great track. But, must be under new management/ownership or something as it’s a 180 degree difference compared to previous years. Not 1 single redeeming quality……other than the starter.

Too bad, as great track ruined. Horrible conditions, horrible pace, horrible people.

Excellent Course!

I love this course! Unlike so many other courses in the area that are in neighborhoods, this beautiful course is set in nature. No homes, just trees, water and nature! The course condition is excellent for the summer. Due to a ton of rain, it was wet, but its Florida. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended!

Great layout

The layout is great. Greens are in great condition. It’s a swamp though. Has had lots of rain. Pace of play was extremely slow & it was NOT cart path only. We were on a 5 hour pace. Waited EVERY shot and sometimes up to 15 minutes. It took over 3 hours to play 12 holes. No rangers to monitor pace of play. Quit with 4 holes to play & it had already been over 4 hours.

Worth to try 😀

Very good condition; yes a little bit challenging but worth to try. I booked the hot deal rate and it is very reasonable. If you are in the area, it will be an ideal course to play (not like the communities)
