Old Corkscrew Golf Club

I played this course last year at end of May, course was in much better shape then. That being said, it’s the end of the season and it’s been very dry past month. The staff was also upfront in advising a few greens were struggling with the fungus issues (hence the discounted fee).

Overall the course is very scenic and fun to play. It does seem that the maintenance is struggling on several areas which appears to have changed since I played last year.

Staff was extremely pleasant and helpful for anything needed. Some help from Mother Nature and some improved maintenance will get it back to where it belongs.

Wirklich einer der schönsten Plätze in der Umgebung, mitten in der Natur ohne angrenzende Bebauung. Für 100 $ mehr als fair, auch wenn einige Grüns under repair waren. Das Layout ist anspruchsvoll, selbst wenn man gerade spielt. Und verzieht man, ist der Ball meist im Wasser oder weg.

You never told us the greens were still damaged from Hurricane Milton. Fairways wear not plush as a Jack Nicklaus course should be and the greens were the worst I’ve played on in Southwest Florida. Bare spots, no grass, and little “speed” bumps all over the greens. They are redoing everything next year, but in meantime you got us screwed on Old Corkscrew.

We called you after, you did nothing. It was a waste of time.

Greens were in horrible shape. To charge that kind of money for the condition they are in is nuts. I love the place fun. But you can’t charge that with these greens

Unfortunately, Old Cork Screw is not what I remember. I have not played it for 3 years. terrible condition through out. Looks like an over played Muni.

I was shocked how bad the greens were, not worth the money they’re trying to charge. Local muni’s are in better shape. Diasporas I usually enjoy playing here.

Unfortunately the course condition were very poor as they apparently had a fungus that attacked the greens and some of the tees. We were not aware of this issue before teeing off which I feel they should have told us.

I would shut this course down and the greens completely re done. No where in their website does it say anything about not being able to put or record a handicap score.

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.
