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.

Fantastic course for low handicaps

Course was in perfect shape. Staff was tremendous. Most importantly every precaution was taken to stop the spread of the C virus. No rakes (move ball if needed), foam noodles in cups to easily grab your ball, pin in at all times, carts disinfected and areas of cart covered in plastic wrap, etc., disinfectant in numerous places, etc.

Fairways and greens slope a lot. I guess the more you play here you would improve your score, but sometime a good shot trails off and gets wet. Lost four balls and was told the record was twenty-eight. Greens were fast but well maintained.

Great golf experience

I have played Old Corkscrew many times. While it is one of the more expensive courses in the area, I feel it is worth it. The course layout not only tests your golf skills on every shot but also let’s you enjoy the natural beauty of nature surrounding the fairways instead of homes and condos.

Great Place to play

Great place to play. The course doesn’t punish you if you play the correct tee box. Hit the ball straight and you will be alright. Sand doesn’t come into play to much. Keep it in the short grass and you will be good. Pace of play was good got a sandwich at the turn which was very good. Everyone was friendly and it was a great experience.

Memorable!

One of the best overall experiences I have had playing a highly rated course. Exceptional design by Jack Nicklaus fitting 18 unique holes into beautiful natural terrain. I wanted to take a photo of each hole. Very challenging placement of sand and water. Green complexes are mostly raised and well guarded making approaches difficult to hold the greens, which were fast but true and fair. Great condition. Staff was friendly and helpful at every position from the bag drop, pro shop, grill, starter and even the beer cart person was high class. Our experience was topped off by my friend getting his first hole in one on #12. If we can come back to Ft Myers we will definitely play here again!

Loved it.

Great condition and very challenging course. Don't get me wrong it beat me up... but we really enjoyed it! I played 4 other courses equally priced courses in the area and found this to be in the best shape given the lack of rain during the month of march - the tee blocks, fairways and greens here were the in great shape.
