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.

#12 in the state for a reason

Played last year and the greens weren’t in great condition. Wasn’t planning on coming back until I saw GolfDigest rank it as the #12 course in the state. They were absolutely right. The greens have been fixed, and the course is absolutely beautiful. No homes, friendly staff, good pace of play, and just a perfect round of golf. Highly recommend playing here👍

#12 in the state for a reason

Played here a little over a year ago and there were all kinds of issues with the greens. Wasn’t planning on coming back, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Very glad I did so, because this is probably my favorite course. No homes, no more issues with the greens, amazing staff, and just an all around great experience. Highly recommend playing here👍

Terrific golf course. Challenging and beautiful.

Lots of sand traps to avoid and they especially come into play for the women if playing the women's tees.

Very good, but

For some reason, public golf in Naples costs twice as much as it should. Considering that they are open year round, you would think they could charge more reasonable prices like we are used to paying up North Old Corkscrew is ont of the better public courses in Naples though

Our only complaint was that the sand traps were not in good condition. Many had very little sand in them and some were packed down and extremely hard.

Nice Track

Played later in the day. Course was in excellent condition. Played unimpeded on the front nine, and then go bogged down on the back coming up on a 5-some which caused us to not be able to finish 18. Overall, though, an enjoyable experience

Disappointed

For the money you pay, greens were slow, Sand traps need some work. Won’t play again till it is in better shape. Layout was great, friendly staff though.Definitely need to play more than once to know the course.

"OC Great Conditions!" NO WAY

Having played Old Corkscrew countless times over the last 20 years. Let year we putted on green painted dirt. This year the greens were equally bad in another way. They were probably running ~6 on the Stimpmeter. This after getting email advertising "Old Corkscrew is in Great Condition". Paying $270 pp for a round here is a joke and an absolute ripoff. This was a weekend round. It appeared that the greens hadn't been cut for days and the perimeter of the greens even longer a seen in the photo. I had talked with the pro shop staff, they took my name and said they would share with the GM. Did I get a call? Nope. At $270+ per round comes with expectations and Old Corkscrew comes falls grossly short. My groups days of paying $1100 per round are over until there is a significant change. The new ownership has failed to make this place better and we are very disappointed.

punishing course

The course was in good shape although the greens were slow. I thought it was unfairly punishing. You’d hit a good shot and it would roll off into the water, trap or woods. Although I’m an average golfer I’m used to playing on a difficult course. My home course has a 137 slope from the forward tees, but it is fair. IMO Old Corkscrew is not.

Disappointed as quality has changed

I have played this course many times in the past. I was very disappointed in the quality and speed of greens as this had previously not been a problem
