Old Corkscrew Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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

Greens were very slow-almost shaggy. Otherwise I enjoy playing this course.

An extremely challenging and often frustrating course that nevertheless keeps me coming back for more. Its as if i feel i need to beat this course. Plus you cant beat the surroundings.

The greens are some of the worst in SWF for $200 a round. And that’s a deal according to there normal price. Supposed to of had a fungus 6 months ago on greens and it still shows. Played there 2 years ago and gnats were horrible. Thought it was just that day. It wasn’t. They were horrible again. I will NEVER GO BACK. THAT BAD. Plenty of other courses for a better price and better conditions.

Very challenging course with excellent layout

Unfortunately issues with all the greens

Very slow and not true

Apparently they are recovering

This made it a very frustrating round of golf

I wished they would have made people aware of this in advance and price should be reduced

I played this course a couple years ago and greens were amazing

Not so this time!

Had I known I would not have played as I place great importance on the quality of the greens

Couse was in average condition. Little to thin grass on fairways and rough.

Admin was confused and charge my credit card twice. Still trying to resolve with Visa.

Would not recommend at $240.00.

We have played the course many times over the years but this had to be the slowest round ever, nearly 5 hours with no marshall in site. Do better guys@

Played here for the first time 3/3/24 and was greeted by a very friendly staff. The practice facilities are first rate. This is a wonderful layout but that is where it ends. Absolutely the worst greens I have ever played and I am 71 years old so have seen it all in my day. We were out at 8:22 and freshly cut but were the bumpiest slowest greens I have ever played. Could not tell you what grass was as I have never seen it on any greens I have seen I the area. Definitely not worth the greens fee of $240 that we paid which is why we played in 3 hrs as no one was there as I guess the were smarter than us.

Course has a great layout and amazing potential, however the greens were very slow and the bunkers need some care. Could be a gem with some better care

Love the layout and it’s a beautiful course. I was really shocked by the conditions of the greens. VERY slow. The pace of play was also bad. It took us 4 hrs and 45 min to play. Never saw a ranger. For the amount of money, the greens should be great and pace of play better.

Awesome Nicklaus design in a a beautiful scenic area. Was very disappointed with how slow the greens were. For a $200 round of golf I would expect the greens to roll better than a municipal track. Outside of the greens the condition was great and I enjoyed the layout and challenges the course provided. I will be back once the greens improve.

The setting of this course is beautiful. It is a very difficult course. Target golf. So tight everywhere. Must play it at least 3 times to figure it out. Greens: At the end they told us that they had a disease last year and they are working on redoing all the greens so they do not mow them. They will be great as soon as they can start mowing them. I will go back when I find out the greens are mowed. Staff is so friendly. It is high season in March so this was the only course I could find to play.

I have always enjoyed playing Old Corkscrew in the past however this past week the greens were in very poor shape. They should (1) let you know in advance when they are having trouble with the greens and (2) offer a discount because of the poor conditions.
