Old Corkscrew Golf Club

I played Old Corkscrew and should have asked for a refund. While the layout, the staff, the pace of play were just fine, the greens were abysmal. 5 greens were totally unplayable. 4 greens were adequate (yet the pace of the greens was miserably slow) and 9 greens were almost acceptable for a muni course.

Before we began the starter stated that one or two greens were in tough shape but by the time we played our 4 hole, we found 4 greens in bad shape. Our entire group wondered how could a course this well maintained from tee to green be saddled with greens with large patches of sand, holes and replaced sod.

As per the advertising at the facility, the course is going to go"private" in 2026. I cannot think of one person I know would join a club with this type of greens.

What a shame.

What a great course. It’s a shame the staff can’t handle taking care of it. Pro guy said there are about five greens that weren’t up to their standards. We couldn’t even put accurately on them. About 6 of the holes we didn’t allow more than three puts. Looks like they had a fungus problem. I thought after he warned us he might give us some money off our round. No luck there. I should have asked for a refund after I saw the first green. $170 for this course in this condition is an absolute scam!

Seven greens were basically sand, poor conditions on greens due to I believe fungus.

We should have been informed of this.

Greens looked like a mine field.

The greens are in very poor condition, several greens had tons of sand on them. Making them almost input table. Very disappointing.

Stop charging premium rates it you can’t keep premium greens. That was atrocious. Should refund people for that joke of a condition.

The greens are burnt out when we showed up the assistant Pro said only six screens were burnt out and it was more like 12 or 13 not worth the money

Greens are in terrible shape. I'd recommend avoiding this place for at least a few months. Multiple large brown and dead patches. Nearly impossible to make anything outside of 5 feet. Remaining grass on the green is shaggy. Rest of course is in good condition.

Headline says it all. Staff said at check-in that 4-5 holes had some dead patches but that they were rolling true. Nonsense. 5-6 greens were largely unplayable b/c of the large dead spots (in some places, covered by sand that one could not put through at all). 3-4 others had more than just occasional blotches. On the worst holes, the greenskeeper had to put pins within 4-5 feet of the edge of the green b/c of the damage. Great, very challenging course, but this is not a playable course at this price. Greens were worse than almost any muni out there. Staff should be honest about this as well. Course age, size of greens and significant crowning of the greens all over the course suggests that these greens are due for a total overhaul and that Old Corkscew should take a year off to do that correctly.

Greens are terrible and we were not advised of this prior to signing up for our tee time. Great layout and would be nice to play if the greens were puttable!

The greens have dies on 6 to 8 holes, making putting impossible or even ridiculous. I told people I would play the course again if it were free and came with a $100 gift card for my favorite restaurant. I can say that I was warned about the conditions of the green, but I never thought it would be as bad as it was. I wish I could post pictures to show you what I mean.

Greens were worse than the staff told us about. The clubhouse was closed by 4:30 and the cart girl was only seen on the first couple holes of the day.

gonna need a year to fix. Fungus/rain, lotsa crappy bare areas

I played this spectacular course several times. However, it is now virtually unplayable. Where before they maintained the greens outside of the horrible diseased areas, they have now let the greens completely go as I understand that in April they are removing them and the course is going private, as stated by the employees. For that reason, they are basically stealing money by charging even half of what they customarily charge to play there. But I certainly understand the market and they are taking advantage of it.

The greens are terrible. The course is in steep decline. The course will be closed for renovation and then going private. This course should close now as it should be an embarrassment to the owners. I want my money back! This course sucks!!!!!! Was told by the desk jockey holes one and thirteen had a fungus problem, looks like it spread to 12 others holes while I was teeing off.

Great golf course with a fantastic layout. The course is in great shape from tee box to green, some of the green have a few spots from a fungus but they look like they are improving. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
