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.

Greens were beat up!

Great course, have played it many times and this was far and away the worst condition I have ever seen the greens in.

Not sure what was going on. But for the price per round, they should be better or at least let people know.

Other than that the fairways, tee boxes were great.

Bunkers were like hitting off concrete.. no powder.

Excellent Golf Course

Wow! This is a great golf course, a real test so much like a top USGA US Open venue from a challenging perspective. The staff informed me that Stewart Cink played here years ago and really enjoyed his time. This is definitely a must play when visiting SW Florida.

Couple of the greens were sand in spots. Was in beautiful condition last time played. 10 man grounds crew kept on blocking the holes to golfers and it was a frustrating experience..

Beautiful layout, but greens…

As usual, this course is difficult but always fun to play. Greens however are not in good condition and slow. Pace of play was excellent around 3 hours and a half for our foursome

Enjoyable Round!

We had a great time playing this beautiful layout! Challenging indeed, but real fun to play. No homes or condos on the golf course, a real great stand-alone experience. What a gem! Looks as though they are recovering from some green issues, but did not interfere with our enjoyment. I highly recommend this great track!

Much Better This Go Around!

Recently played Old Corkscrew again and was impressed with the improvement to the greens. Some work is still going on, but the greens are remarkably improved than they were a few months ago. Overall, had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Terrible greens

This course has a great design nice scenery and good elevation for a swfl course but the greens were in terrible shape. For the price in summer that is not acceptable. Tons of flies as well

Old Corckscrew

I was really disappointed today. The greens must have had a Fungai and most was really and I mean really bad. They did just aerate them but for the money I really feel I wasted money today playing here. I have the PGA pass and many many courses have the price and way better.

Great Nicklaus Design

This is a terrific course. Once they get the fungus on the greens completely eradicated, this will be a top 25 course in Florida - easily.

A Wonderful Nicklaus Gem

Great design and classic Nicklaus tough. As soon as they fix the fungus disease on the greens, this course will be back to second to none as far as daily fee courses in South Florida are concerned,. Still, the greens are passable as is, so go play this course!

Great course, but greens are rough.

Everything other than the greens are immaculate here. Extremely challenging amazing layout, but there are some burnt spots in the greens. It’s not bad enough that it should deter you from playing, but it is something you should know before going in
