Old Corkscrew Golf Club

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.

The worst greens I have ever played in Florida and to be asked to pay 200$ each for a 4 ball amounts actually to a scam . Looking at reviews on golf now complaints about the greens at this course have been going back to May last year and clearly no improvements have been made -there is still evidence of disease part replacement in areas with just sod and dirt ,its just appalling

Golf Now should be ending its partnership with this course as everyone who books is saying the same thing and frankly it amounts to a criticism of golf now as well as the course

We teed off at 140pm and when we returned to the club no management on site,grill had been closed and still folk on the course -probably the worst experience I have had on a golf course booked via golf now and having then to pay premium rates for nothing better than greens you would find at a cheap municipal course is extremely upsetting Giving you have been getting these reviews for over 8 months also begs the question just what are Golf Now doing to sort out the bad courses they advertise for ?

Fairways, roughs and sand are all great. Greens are shot. Starter said they got some disease which is likely true but price is too high for a Nicklaus signature course with such bad greens. The rest of the course was in good shape and many holes present some good challenges and nice views. It’s a nice track and if greens were healthy I would go back soon. For now I will likely wait until next year before playing again.

We were a 4 ball paid $800

No-one mentioned the greens state when we booked in just took our money.

The greens are all deceased and really unplayable. This is our 1st time in USA and had been looking forward to playing it. $800 )$200 pp is unacceptable in this condition. VERY VERY disappointed feel we've been robbed

For a very expensive course in season ($225 per person) which is very tough when it's in good shape, the fact that a fungus has taken over their greens made it unplayable for at least half the holes. On some holes anything within 5 feet was deemed "good" because you couldn't putt.

Rest of the course was in good shape and it has some great holes but putting is pretty important.

And we were only told about the greens after my credit card was "Approved."

Really nice course with very interesting holes. However, the greens are in horrible condition. Too much money for 18 bad greens.

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.
