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.

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.

Disgraceful greens

I love this course, the layout is great, but unfortunately the greens were a disgrace and this wasn’t mentioned when we arrived at the course.

Worst greens I have played on all year.

Great Course

This was the third time I have played this course. The greens were in need of some TLC and the course was in multiple places COMPLETELY under water due to the storm. This isnt a hit on the course because that's out of their control but just be aware that there are additional "lakes" that use to be sand traps but now are ground under repair until the water drains

Hurricane damage

I have played Old Corkscrew many times during the past 15 years and I have never seen it in such poor shape. Staff should stop play and care for the greens, fairways and bunkers. The damage the course suffered during Helene and Milton is evident. The worst part is the greens. Municipal courses are in much better shape than this course that used to be a gem. Do not waste your money. I sincerely hope that the management and owners put pride on the product before profit. What a disappointing Sunday it was.

The greens here were in horrible shape. I really wish someone would alert us when the greens have been aerated. Even on golf now we paid too much. I will not return
