Old Corkscrew Golf Club

I played this course last year and it was generally a good experience. However this year when I returned it was entirely different.

The Greens were a combination of dirt and shaggy grass. Very bad condition. Looked like a Fungus s or disease.

Tee boxes weren’t much better. Fairways seemed ok.

Pace of play was slow. We were behind a threesome and had to wait on every shot. A five hour round. ! Never saw a ranger the entire round.

Too bad because it is a challenging layout. Hopefully they can get it back in shape. Definitely not worth the money this year.

While the layout was awesome and the scenes were picturesque, almost every single green had major damage and was borderline unplayable, I was shocked that no one from the pro shop had mentioned anything.

To charge $200+ per round with those greens is silly.

This is usually a top notch course and 1 of my favorites 2 play out here. Unfortunately they're still charging top dollar and the greens are atrocious. The answer is got on their repairs were wait til next year. No remorse for charging top dollar and offering a subpar product

The greens were very disappointing for this level of course or any for that matter. They were patched and lacked consistent roll on unevenly grown grass. How the greens can be so bad and the rest of the course fin is beyond me. Wait to pay there till things improve.

I read the reviews and could not believe the greens could be as bad as the reviews said. I assumed the people were being snobby. WRONG. They were probably being kind. The worst greens ive ever seen. From hole 1-17. The course is robbing every single person. Its a $60 course with the current conditions Anyone paying $200 will be mad after seeing the greens on the first hole. They only get worse. Unputtable. The clubhouse isnt even a clubhouse. Place is a joke, oh yeah, it was a 5 hour round of golf with a ranger tellling us how he was trying to speed up a group two holes ahead of us but didn't actually do anything.

This course should not even be open. The greens are in absolute Dire Straits and need to be rebuilt. They are charging people $200 to play on a goat track.

paid $200 to play on burned out greens. played in past and it was great. shame they still charge play on those greens.

The course is beautiful and very challenging. However, 90 percent of the greens were in terrible condition. For the price we paid, I expected better conditions.

The greens were terrible and no one mentioned a thing , basically sand on every green. Ball would roll and pick up sand. Spoiled everything Cant believe it i was so embarrassed in front of my guests .

They should give us a credit at least

The course design and layout is exemplary. In addition , because of the fact there are no residences anywhere on course makes it that much more enjoyable .

Unfortunately , even though the conditions on the rest of the course was fine, the condition of most of the greens was so poor, it detracted from the whol experience . I know we paid a discounted fee ($185) , but I would not play it again until the greens were completely repaired or redone. I am truly sorry to have to write this review , because I do really enjoy playing Old Corkscrew. Good luck fixing the greens ….

We did have a slow group in front of us , but we were a threesome and took that into account.

I cannot ever recall being this disappointed in a course in a very long time. I bought into the hype after reading so many articles in a variety of magazines, checking the ratings in Florida (top 5 for public). I prepaid $235 for 1 pm Saturday tee time. When I checked the gave me shop credit stating the greens fee was now $199. This was a wonderful surprise. No one ever stated why. I found out on the first green. Picture attached. It did not get much better on the remaining 17. If I did not fly in that morning I would have went back and asked for a refund. They have a lot of work to do on these greens to get their ranking back.

We play here every year as part of our boys golf trip. The layout, course conditions and staff are exceptional. This year we were a little disappointed, the greens got a disease and were in really rough shape. If the rest of the experience hadn’t been great I probably would’ve rated them lower. Hopefully the greens recover before our next visit or the price tag gets lower than $250 because it’s not worth $250 in it’s current condition.

Played here 2 weeks ago and only noticed 2 greens that were in rough shape. They kept the pins out of those areas so it didn’t impact play at all. Was certainly good enough to book another round.

This round, there were over half that were not in good shape. They didn’t look aerated but they had very heavy sand and bald patches on many greens. Putts were fast and slow on the same putt.

Course layout is challenging from every tee box as fairways are protected quite well. Staff is great and course is nice but until the greens grow back in, I would pass. Down here in FL, that might be only be a couple of weeks.

Difficult course. Lots of water and sand.

Greens need some work.

The greens were totally unplayable.

Very arrogant for their Pro to not offer explanation upon booking the tee times.

Pathetic day of golf.

The course has nice Floridian type layout.

Quiet and free of houses, but the experience Was disgusting due the putting on bare dirt and sand

This club should be embarrassed to host golfers

Don’t waste your money here.

Its a beautiful course - but:

the greens are totally ruinded, the staff told us because of a fungal infestation. Putting was almost impossible. It was not funny.

(I think, Jack Nicklaus would not play here under this conditions.)

They should tell this to their customers before billing the full greenfee or give a discount.

(Excuse my bad english, we are from Germany and wanted to enjoy this great Jack Nicklaus design)
