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.

Ruined greens

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)

Green’s were terrible!!!!

The green’s have a fungus or parasite (Nematode) that make them unplayable! The course layout is awesome. The people there are awesome, but the greens are unplayable.

Greens ????!!!

I can't believe that not only did they charge me $200.00 fees for me and my three guest but there is absolutely no mention that Greens are the worst greens we have ever payed on. The Greens are covered with sand , soft and granular sand . There is no grass to put on. My guests said they were terrible , I was and am still so embarrassed. When you putt the sand would wrap around the ball and kick the sand up. I want at least a CREDIT !!!

Extremely poor green conditions, I would never play this course again till it’s greens conditions are improved

This course has a really good layout but the greens are so bad, I’ve never seen greens in such poor condition.

DO NOT PLAY IT until it’s condition is improved.

Great Layout. Poor Green Conditions

Played Old Corkscrew many times and usually love the layout and course conditions. Unfortunately, this time out the Greens were in poor condition. I feel that charging full price ($259) without advising of the current greens conditions was really not fair. I paid over $1000 for myself and 3 friends, all were very disappointed.

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.
