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 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.

Wonderful Time at Old Corkscrew

My recent playing experience at Old Corkscrew was quite enjoyable. I was a little apprehensive at first because of some of the mixed reviews I read online. I personally found the golf course to be in very good condition with the greens rolling true. There were a few sore spots on the greens that were being repaired. Overall, great time, excellent service, and we look forward to returning soon.

Condition

The greens were in in terrible condition and there was no reflection in the price or notification of the conditions. Also the gnats are horrific. I know this is completely out of their control, but it makes playing here not even an option.

The course was real nice as always however the greens were horrible and nobody including teeoff or the staff mentioned that . There were patches of dirt/sand . on every green . We drove an hour and half from Fort Lauderdale to play there . So it was unfair to us to drive all the way there and putt on greens like that

Don't waste your money

It's a disrespect to public golfers being charged $100 per round mid summer when the course conditions aren't any better than the local dog track. GREENS ARE ATROCIOUS. Hoffman Group trying to recoup the money spent buying the place.

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.

Better

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!
