Old Corkscrew Golf Club

Don't be fooled by:

1. Good reviews

2. The GN featured price

3. Staff underplaying the bad condition of greens

Believe only the bad reviews!!! Greens are unplayable ruining your golf experience. This is a beautiful and challenging golf course, but.....don't be lured in by the lowered price...wait it out 6 months or more until the greens are playable.

Greens were terrible. I wasn’t told they were diseased when I made the tee time. 5 hour round. Waited on most tees. Check in person was pleasant bag drop staff not very.

Layout is great but challenging as not much room to miss off fairway or greens. And the greens were is terrible shape. Extremely slow speed, numerous bare spots on several greens and as a result they don't, or can't, take care of them properly. Sad to see a Nicklaus design fall like this.

The course was in terrible shape - not just the greens! Pace of play was horrible and staff did nothing to fix it

Nice course, great layout and staff, but condition of the greens was really bad…not advised if conditions in pros not upon checking in, nor was there an adjusted cost for the round…some greens were barely playable yet still charging full-pop??

Hands down my favorite course in SWFL. A true test on how your game is, can’t fake it around here. This course truly tests every part of your game. Been playing here for years and it’s always a pleasure. Pure hospitality from the entire staff from the when you walk in the door. A few greens are patchy but in much better shape than the previous year. Always looking forward to my next round at the screw.

I love this golf course and will most definitely play it again. Really fun, some challenging holes, but no houses! The natural layout was spectacular.

The greens were really starting to shape up.

Played a couple of days ago. The Course Layout is great (Nicklaus Signature Design), and the greens are coming back (just 4 greens are still affected). Overall really good, staff is great and very peaceful on the course (no homes)

Played on 3/15 with a buddy of mine. Course layout is amazing. The greens had some sort of fungus that ruined about 75% of the putting surface. The parts that are decent are slower than your carpet. Apparently they are redoing the greens this summer. I recommend playing it once that’s completed

Course layout is amazing, greens are recovering and getting better, only 3 greens are still recovering. Overall really good, layout (Nicklaus signature design)

Course layout is great but too many greens are damaged and virtually unplayable. When greens are in good shape this is a very nice course.

The tees and fairways were in good shape, but the greens were horribly diseased. It was recommended by the Staff that four greens should be a max of two putts as they were so badly diseased. I thought I received a "Hot Deal" at $133.00 and I was sadly mistaken. They should not be charging more than $80.00 regardless the time of the day and during PEAK season. Terribly disappointed.

Played this past weekend on a windy day with a full course of golfers. A Nicklaus course, this one is very challenging (slope of 141 from the whites) under ideal conditions. But a number of the greens are suffering from fungus, with some containing significant areas of sand/dirt. We were informed of this as we arrived, but told the rate was discounted by roughly a third from the normal rate. Paid $195 plus tax.

The course is a handful for mid-handicappers (more than that on the windy day we had) and a predictable source of frustration and delay for those with higher handicaps who don't know when to put the ball in their pockets. These factors led to waiting for the group ahead, and being held between green and next tee a couple times by marshals who were friendly and apologetic. The friendliness of all the staff we encountered was notable.

My view: If you're a low to low-mid handicap player and want a real challenge, this course will give it to you. But even with a reduced rate and a friendly staff, I don't consider it a good value right now. Wait until the greens are healthy again and peak season is a thing of the past, then bite off all you care to.

Regret going. Quit after 9. Rates should be way less for such destroyed greens

All 18 greens have been ruined by a fungus and filled with sand. Virtually unplayable.. would have been nice to know before they took my money.

Course in horrible shape. They need to fix it or shut it down. Taking people’s money

I played this course 6 weeks ago, the greens were disgusting. Moldy and slimy with plenty of bare spots. I called and asked if they fixed the problem with the greens before I booked again again. I was told they had. Bull.The mold was gone but covered with thick layers of sand, it was like putting in a bunker. Total ripoff. How can you not grow grass in Florida?

Greens were horrible. They should be ashamed of himself for charging that kind of money.
