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.

Don’t miss playing this course!

I read a lot of mixed reviews before playing this course. I had read the issues with some not in good shape. I could tell you firsthand this course is unbelievably challenging and a lot of fun to play. The greens are in great shape at this time. I’ve played a lot of golf courses from Tampa all the way to Naples. I would recommend this course to anyone that loves a great challenge. It’s definitely one of Jack Nicholas, great designs! Put this one on your list of must play. Can’t wait to play again in the near future. Happy golf and enjoy this great course.

Another great outing

As always corkscrew didn’t let us down, course was a little beat up but we still enjoyed it and it is still one of our favorite courses to play.

You got corkscrewed

Must play! Highly recommend. Hardest course in the area. Maybe even borderline unfair. But extremely fun if u like a challenge. A lot of palmettos lining the fairways. Be sure to bring enough golf balls. Keep your ball below the pin out here. Play to the wide spots in the fairways. Strategy is key out here. Conditions were good despite airefication holes , made it even harder but didn’t affect putts much. Will be back. 👌🏻

Good course but not when plugged

Nice course but not worth what they charged since plugged.should just charge the cart fee. So didn’t really play the course. Sure it’s a fun challenge when in good shape.

cow pasture golf

On arrival no one told us that the first 7 holes were being aerated completely across the fairways. The holes were the size of Dallas with the added misery of 100s of biting flying flies hitting you nonstop. Not a pleasant day especially for what we paid.

Most ALL of the ladies tee makers were right along with the mens - whomever placed them needs to take a biology class - totally wrong. Woman usually have only one tee marker - the men need to step back .

This was not our first time to play there - what a difference as well as a disappointment.

Save your money and play anywhere but there.

Wait a bit

Course is in terrible shape. Greens and fairways have just been punched. Bunkers need sand.

Take Advantage Now

Nice track in the outskirts of Estero. Course is very challenging but rewarding (if you score well). Get out during this off-season while the rates are low. You won’t find a better course at this price. Lots of nature and wildlife. A true Florida course. Golf it now to see if you want to become a member when it goes private!
