Old Corkscrew Golf Club

The greens have finally improved to the point where this course is enjoyable, despite having the worse bunkers known to man. Every round here is a conversation of “if only they would”. Glad to be playing here again, while it lasts.

This is a favorite that had fallen on hard times since acquired by Hoffman. A great design that would rival any private club in Florida with just a little investment, To tear up this course and replace it with whatever Kyle Phillips (his latest at Apogee is a snooze) is criminal. Attention Hoffman! All you need to do is replace the tee boxes, bunkers and greens AND increase your maintenance budget and you will have restored a gem and still go private if necessary. I’ll be the first to join.

Great layout. Great fairways. Greens still are not what they were prior to last year when they lost all of them

Loved the course---greens seemed to be extremely slow compared to many of the Florida courses I play. Other than that I will be sad that I will most likely only play this course once prior to it being remodeled.

One of best in Fort Myers/Naples area . Scenic well designed tour quality Jack Nicklaus course-definitely not for beginners.

Difficult to score well but enjoyable and challenging. Must play

In years past, Old Corkscrew was a gem. Excellent condition, tough layout, seasoned employees -a country club like experience. While still a challenging layout, the course conditions are “choppy” - the front nine greens have bare spots, uneven grass, etc and fairways have various conditions. In contrast, the back nine greens were smooth and the fairways carpet like.

Green are in really bad shape. Cost should come down due to conditions.

This course used to be one of the better public access courses in the area. Unfortunately, the Hoffman family will be razing the entire course and grounds to build an exclusive club catering to the ultra wealthy and eliminating another public course in the area. They may as well start the project now. The greens and traps are in terrible condition, not what one would expect at a Nicklaus course and the cost to play it. The bright spot is the welcoming staff who I hope will retain their jobs as the facility transforms.

Greens are better than 2025, but tees are mostly green dirt…ugh!

Course has come a long way greens look great fairways look great. I always have a great time out here

greens were good but the fairways were very light on grass, not worth the cost and was a 5 hour round

very disappointed in the condition of the fairways

An incredibly difficult golf course particularly around the greens. Challenging off the tee but the run offs around the greens makes this course really made for pros. Only play it if you like a difficult challenge. Shooting within ten shots of your handicap would be excellent.

Excellent Golf Challenging but a great time. Plenty of challenges through the entire layout.

Thanks Michelle for getting us out early, see you and the staff again soon. Well worth the drive from Tampa FL.

The course is in great shape always love coming here

After one round at Old Corkscrew, it instantly became my favorite public track in SW FL. Different holes require different shots and strategic maneuvers. Greens were as pure as they come. No residences in sight, which allows you to fully immerse yourself in the course. Would give it a 6th star if I could!

Friendly staff, really outstanding, from checking in to cart gal to bags attendant. Outstanding layout. Late Spring/Early Summer this course will undergo huge reno and then become expensive private course.

The greens are back and rolling true—making birdie putts has never felt better! The course is in fantastic shape, and you can really see the attention to detail. On top of that, the staff couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating. From start to finish, they make you feel welcome and ensure you have an amazing experience. Highly recommend playing here!
