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.

No Value

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.

Not worth the price

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.

Great layout/ poor conditions

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

Great course, but…

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.

Old Corkscrew

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.

Greens Extremely Slow

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.

Greens in poor shape

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.

Didn't meet expectations.

We had great anticipation to play as we expected a great golf experience based on price. The greens were terrible, lots of dead spots and inconsistent speed, the bunkers were mostly mud and not sand. Fairways were good and it is a nice course. We expected so much more for course conditioning. 1 and done, we will not go back.
