Old Corkscrew Golf Club
About
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.

9th Green Photo submitted by jmcbride2013 on 04/21/2013
Greens are in bad need of restoration
The staff was friendly, they discounted the price and apologized for the course condition. We had an enjoyable round given the weather and the condition of the greens but their condition took away some of the pleasure. Looking forward to playing it when they have been restored.
Awesome course lacked maintenance
Bunkers where not all taken care of and some of the green surrounds where not well taken care of.
Full price, half a course
Full price charged although greens in horrible condition. Overseeded with green sand. Hard fast and bumpy. No thx.
WHAT THE GREENS!!!
Layout is awesome. Challenging. Conditions tee to green were pretty good. We knew greens were in need of repair but they were in need of replacement, which they are doing in 2026. I would NOT recommend playing here until that is done.
The Greens a sooooo in very bad shape....
I can not find worths for that ...see the pictures....and this for usd 190,- ...🤮💩
Beware!!
The staff was amazing and was very upfront with the condition of the greens. And while the rate to play was discounted, it was discounted enough as the greens were extremely bad with many not having a blade of grass on them. Their rate should be much less than charged given the greens condition.
I've played the course a few times before and was looking forward to playing again. However, I walked away disappointed. In the past the greens were great today terrible. I understand the course is going to go private.
I had planned to rebook for a couple more rounds but will move to another course.
UNPLAYABLE
Greens were horrible. Worst I have ever played. They should have told us before we played.
An utter disaster and rip off.
I guess it’s safe to say how disappointed I was with round. Normally I use golf advisor to check out recent reviews to ensure I am getting what I pay for. When you pay $175 + for a round you expect a $175 experience. The tees, fairways and course layout is decent. The greens are an utter disaster. This course should not be open for play. The better business bureau has probably gotten complaints.
DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY on this catastrophe.
Obviously the course management has been tasked with stealing whatever revenue they can.
I WILL never come back. I feel sorry for cart bag staff, starters, rangers and behind the counter help. They must hate their jobs listening to customers complain all day about the crap show they have going.
I will be reaching out to golf now and tell them to pull their tee time offerings for this train wreck, I have been corkscrewed on this deal.
The greens are in horrifically bad shape
There’s no warning from the Pro Shop that the greens absolutely suck. At least half of them are sand covered in dead. To charge that rate for such bad greens is outrageous. The fairways and tea boxes were fine. The reality is if you go to bad lying in the fairway and you’re playing the ball up it doesn’t matter. But when you’re on the green you don’t have any choice. Rolling it through sand and dead crap That experience. Won’t be back. Used to be awesome, is no longer. Just another public course.
Greens are unplayable.
Be prepared for greens that are diseased and patched throughout the golf course. Not worth the price until the greens are fixed.
Diseased Greens
I had heard that the greens had a disease but didn’t think they would be that bad. More than a few had ‘dirt’ spots and the grass is allowed to grow longer to keep them from dying out completely. Was told the greens will be replaced, wait for it, April of 2026! The pace of play was slow, waiting on almost every shot. The fees have been reduced some but $200 plus is expected for a special outing.
The greens are a mess
I would estimate that at least nine out of 18 greens are burned out and dead, covered in sand and dead grass. They should be embarrassed by the condition of the greens. They provided no warning that the greens were that bad. To pay over $200 for a round of golf is criminal. They put us off on the backside and when we came around to the front, we waited on the last five holes. There was no martial out there. Can’t say enough about how bad the greens were.
GREENS ARE GARBAGE
Place needs to tear out the Greens and redo them. Pretty sad. Beautiful Golf course is. Scrap hole because the GRENS are not fit for a Playground
Greens in awful condition
The staff should have informed us of the terrible condition of the greens prior to swiping our credit card for 200.00 bucks a player . After about 5 hours should have went back to the pro shop and demanded a refund!!! The Rangers were apologetic and said they were battling a bad mold problem but that's no excuse for not informing us when we arrived . We've played this course a couple of times each year for the last 6 or 7 years and always thought it was the best course in sw Florida, but now I don't think I'll ever return !!! We were going to talk to the pro shop afterwards but conveniently they closed at 5:00 ,we finished at 5:15 so this is the best outlet to voice my opinion.
