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.

Nice course but really bad greens

It is a nice course with challenging layout and nice practice areas.

And then we have the greens. Felt like they hadn't been cut in like 2 weeks. Very slow speed and not a fair roll.

After a while we had to try so we shot 4 balls from the same place and they didnt even get close to each other.

Not recommended until they fix the greens. There is a lot of better alternatives in the area for less money

Old Corkscrew Review.

The greens were in terrible shape. Whoever is in charge of them should be fired. The course was burnt out in a lot of areas. I have been playing this course for years and never seen it this bad. The cost to play is not even close to what you would expect with the conditions as such.

Firestone Country Club in Ohio is only pay $125 per round. And you would never see it in this bad weather f condition. I will probably never play here again.

Disappointing

This once excellent daily-fee course has gone down hill. It is no longer worth the greens fee.

Unfortunately another bad day at OC

Have played twice before with very poor greens due to fungus damage and once again, the greens were rolling incredibly slow and very inconsistent. Golf course was extremely wet and actually had 2 areas appeared to be water drainage issues. Both bathroom/water houses had no water and ice didn’t work either?? It was in the high 80’s and very poor maintenance to have no water available on the course. The beverage cart barely had any drinks either. For such a high end facility, it has been disappointing each time for such poor greens and overall value….
