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.

Challenges galore!

A fairly difficult course with a lot of water that comes into play. No forgiveness near the water at all. Greens are undulating with challenging pin placements. Better have your A game working playing this course. Accuracy is a must!

Great course

Loved the course. Nestled in the natural habitat of SW FL. Course layout and unique holes were great. Challenging but not overwhelming. Tees, fairways and greens all in good shape. Nice bunkers. Greens were semi fast but not lightening fast. Overall great experience. I would go back.

Corkscrew value

Corkscrew is a Nicklaus design with some very good holes.

The par 5's are a little quirky. The fairway and bunker conditions are good. They have always had problems with the greens. They are better this year but certainly not in the condition you would expect for a course that is charging $225 per round!

They have opened up some of the scrubby areas and it's visually nicer than in years past.

The clubhouse is small and no one was there.

The staff is very nice and helpful. We played on a Weds. The only good thing about the fees being so overpriced is that the pace of play is great since no one is playing.

Always in great shape

I always enjoy old Corkscrew and it did not disappoint. It is one of the best, if not the best, public courses in SW Florida. A true test of golf for accomplished players and others alike.

Greens are terrible

Wish they would have mentioned the poor conditions of the greens. Rest of the course looks and plays great but most greens had large bare spots and rolled slow and bumpy. A shame as it’s a fantastic layout and other than the greens very good shape. Practice green is nothing like the greens on the course, hopefully they’ll be able to fix or replace the greens on the course.

Pace of play an issue

Made the turn to the back nine and ran into 3 groups on the tee box. The front nine flowed well so not sure what happened.

Great course

We played on Thanksgiving Day because as Canadians we had our Thanksgiving in October.

Despite this the staff was very friendly and respectful.

The course was not very busy but they staff could not leave until the group behind us was done , at around 4 PM.

I would go back the next time if the price was right.

Course in good condition.

Always a Gem

Old Corkscrew is a favorite for all the right reasons: beautiful layout and excellent condition, terrific practice facilities, etc. One major factor in my love for this course is that it isn't marred by signs of civilization: homes, buildings, traffic, etc. If you love golf in natural environment, you'll adore Old Corkscrew.
