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 track

The course has enough tee boxes to suit any player’s length. It’s fair, but challenging. The green complexes are the most difficult part of the course, hence the high slope rating. When we played, the fairways were pristine, but they had just aerated, so the greens were fury and slooooow, which is quite different than playing in season where they’re like putting on tile. The staff was great — very helpful and friendly. Get to it before the snowbirds take over.

Great Fun Course

Would definitely play here again. Course that makes you decide off the tees. Challenging but not super difficult. I played 3 other rounds in my visit to the area. No beverage carts was interesting. I wish I knew about the recently punched greens. My only knock.

Old Corkscrew Coming Back Strong

It's great to see this super golf course coming back after their multiple issues with the greens earlier this year. It is definetly one of the most scenic tours of 18 holes your will find in the area. What makes it more special is that there are no homes or condos interfering with your experience. Definelty one I would recommend to anyone wanting a great golfing experience.

Old Corkscrew: Thumbs Way, Way Up

Old Corkscrew is a first-rate golf experience. I had heard the setting had classic flair and old-time charm, but it was even better than expected. It looked and felt like a PGA Champions Tour venue — no housing, just nature — and played like it. Being a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, it is thoughtfully designed and challenging. Impeccably cared for, too. The starter informed us that the greens had a bit of fungi, but it was not a factor as the pins were situated to avoid it, Old Corkscrew is my new favourite course among the affordables in SWFL. Highly recommended.

Challenging course w great pace of play

My buddy & I enjoyed our round @ Old Corkscrew.

Many holes take some thinking to play the course.

Water & Fairway bunkers increase the challenge.

Great course

Most of course was in excellent condition with exception of some greens that were being repaired. Very challenging if you use some of the longer tees, which we did not as we are average players.

Nice to play it again

Have not played in a couple of years. Read reviews about greens not in the best shape but still gave it a shot. It’s is true some greens in bad shape with greens. Mostly on the front nine and not every hole. Pin placements try to steer you clear of the areas that are troubled. Love the layout of the course.

Greens in rough shape

Normally a great golf course but this time the greens were in rough shape. Tee boxes, fairways , rough and bunkers in great shape. Just wished I was forewarned. I may have played elsewhere this time.

Great Time at the 'Screw!

Always enjoy myself at this challenging but beautiful beast of a course! The course was in great condition and the greens have really come around from where they were four months ago. It's such a great layout especially without any homes or condos to detract from the experience. Definetly a golf course that I enjoy coming back to often!

GREENS

I understand fungus happens and it takes time to fix but please roll the greens….Super slow and unpredictable for that beautiful course…I’ve been playing Old Corkscrew for the past 5 years and I always brag about how fast the greens are…Unfortunately I will not be coming back when we visit Naples because there is a lot of nicer options and I hate to say it but Old Corkscrew is coming off the list for now….hopefully Greens get better soon as I love the course…

Love the course

Love the course, had several repaired greens but just moved ball if they effected putts. Had a scramble from the tips, which they definitely didn’t need to be hitting from. Play slowed down when we caught them.

Favorite in SW Florida

Never a bad day when you get to play Old Corkscrew. Terrific layout. Plenty of challenges. Several greens had rough spots. They were working to repair. Fairways were like carpet.

Always fun and challenging and no condos or houses in sight!

I have played her approx 30 times the staff’s always friendly and makes you feel welcome. The course is in great shape with one exception some of the greens have had some type of issue that requires treatment that killed some of grass on outside edges of some of the greens, that said it didn’t impact our play just moved the ball equally distance on some good grass.
