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.

Wow! Longest round ever!!!!!

It should not take 5 hrs and 10 min to play a round off season.

20-30 minute wait on several holes to tee off. Rumor was that they let 2 (3 somes) get together and play as a 6-some. Tee’d off right on time at 10:52 and finished at 4:00. No Marshalls to fix the problem. Miserable!!!!! Amazing course and super friendly staff.

Incredible!

Absolutely stunning! Course is in immaculate condition. Every hole is challenging yet very fun. Yes, the greens are slower than other courses in the area, but I think that is necessary given the undulations on the greens. Will definitely be back!

Course in Great Shape

I always enjoy this challenging course. I was pleased to see that last year’s problem with some of the greens has been resolved, and the entire course was in very nice condition. Wish my own game was in such good condition…

#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👍
