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.

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.

GREAT golf course

Old Corkscrew Golf Club is by far one of the best conditioned and most challenging public access golf courses in all of SW Florida. The staff is most attentive and very informative making sure you enjoyed your day . There was a little issue this summer on the greens but they are now back and in great condition. During 'season' they generally speed them up a bit making for more of a challenge. There are 5 different tee box options up to 7400 yds so make sure you play the one within your ability and you will surely enjoy it more.
