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.

What happened to the greens?

Played here this week after not having played for 2 years. Love the Nicklaus layout, but he would be embarrassed bay how the greens have been maintained . Or more accurately, not maintained. Some of the worst I’ve seen. Too bad, it’s an awesome track. Will come back again, but if greens are still bad will stop

The greens were very bad

Given the condition of the greens, a significant reduction in the green fee would be appropriate

DO NOT PLAY HERE!!!

This course was in awful condition. Especially the greens. No where near the price we paid to play. Worst greens I have ever seen. Superintendent should be fired! Every other course I played prior to this in Naples was excellent. No excuse for these conditions. Will never return.

Wasted opportunity

Naples has a lot of golf. But not a lot of good public access golf, so they charge a premium. This course is a great Nicklaus design but the greens are unplayable.

We understand they had disease, etc, but for this greens fee, for discerning golfers, is disappointing. The course conditions are overall also not awesome, but the greens are a real problem and have been every time we’ve played there.

Great Staff, horrible greens.

The staff is amazing and wonderful. Cannot believe how bad the greens and tee boxes were for the prime season down here in Florida. They were horrendous for the amount of money we paid to play.

Disappointed

Need to adjust the rates until course conditions improve. I have played this course 10 times in the past 5 years and this was the worst condition I have seen in 5 years. This course used to be nice but now it seems The greens have some sort of disease and were basically unplayable. Usually a very nice course and they should lower the rates until they get the conditions back to where they used to be. Range is basically dirt with a slight grass covering…should just convert to mats.

Old Corkscrew

Super friendly staff. Starter moved us up 30 minutes as a twoballl ahead of 2x 3 balls and we sailed around in 3 hrs 25 minutes . Caught up to another 3 ball for last 4 holes.

Course lay out fantastic but greens are still suffering from summer but improving and maintain good pace and roll over surfaces.

Check if greens recently aerated before you go

We were unaware that the greens were recently aerated which made playing the course a big disappointment. Greens were sandy, bumpy, and punched. No wonder there were very few members playing that day.
