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.

Nice place to play- feels like a private club

Old Corkscrew is a fun course to play and because of the high standards they keep, it feels like a private club. All personnel were professional and courteous.

Would like to play again.

Old corkscrew

Old corkscrew is a classic Nicklaus design type course in that it’s kind of target type golf. I think it’s excellent for a lower handicapper. I would not recommend this for senior golfers because they’re a lot of force carries in elevated greens.

Thought it was an excellent course for the value and I would definitely recommend this especially for the better golfer. Or on the day that we played it The greens are slow and we’re full of sand. I would add the the greens are very small and very undulating.

Pace of play

Love the course and the design. Today we got behind 3 guys who played from the tips. They had no business playing from 7300+ yards. They really impacted pace of play. I’ll still go back. Love the course.

Great course

From the minute I arrived I felt appreciated! Awesome course even after a ton of rain. I’ll be back for sure, this is a gem minus the pretentiousness of the area. Really a nice “bucket list” course.

Better than the snotty one

We played Triburon 2 days before and old corkscrew put it to shame! The course was challenging and the staff were friendly. We had a nice day and didn’t feel like leper’s will definitely play this more often when here.

Best Greens in SWFL

First time playing Old Corkscrew, will not be the last. Course was in near perfect condition. The greens, although tough were by far the best I've rolled on in SWFL. The course is what you would expect from a high end private club, worth every penny!
