#12 in the state for a reason

Played last year and the greens weren’t in great condition. Wasn’t planning on coming back until I saw GolfDigest rank it as the #12 course in the state. They were absolutely right. The greens have been fixed, and the course is absolutely beautiful. No homes, friendly staff, good pace of play, and just a perfect round of golf. Highly recommend playing here👍

#12 in the state for a reason

Played here a little over a year ago and there were all kinds of issues with the greens. Wasn’t planning on coming back, but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Very glad I did so, because this is probably my favorite course. No homes, no more issues with the greens, amazing staff, and just an all around great experience. Highly recommend playing here👍

Nice Track

Played later in the day. Course was in excellent condition. Played unimpeded on the front nine, and then go bogged down on the back coming up on a 5-some which caused us to not be able to finish 18. Overall, though, an enjoyable experience

Disappointed

For the money you pay, greens were slow, Sand traps need some work. Won’t play again till it is in better shape. Layout was great, friendly staff though.Definitely need to play more than once to know the course.

SWFL Gem

If you’re looking for a premium golfing experience, this is the place to do it. Course has no houses surrounding the property and it feels like you’re secluded in the wilderness. The course was looking and playing great. I would definitely recommend this Jack Nicklaus Signature!

Best Golf Course in SW Florida

I played with my boyfriend this past Monday and there is no better course to play than Old Corkscrew in SWFL. Course is in pristine condition and $240 was definitely worth it. Hospitality inside and outside the pro shop was amazing. Cant say enough about this course. My #1 referred golf course!

punishing course

The course was in good shape although the greens were slow. I thought it was unfairly punishing. You’d hit a good shot and it would roll off into the water, trap or woods. Although I’m an average golfer I’m used to playing on a difficult course. My home course has a 137 slope from the forward tees, but it is fair. IMO Old Corkscrew is not.

Not worth the money!!!!!!!

The greens are some of the worst in SWF for $200 a round. And that’s a deal according to there normal price. Supposed to of had a fungus 6 months ago on greens and it still shows. Played there 2 years ago and gnats were horrible. Thought it was just that day. It wasn’t. They were horrible again. I will NEVER GO BACK. THAT BAD. Plenty of other courses for a better price and better conditions.

Great course layout

Very challenging course with excellent layout
Unfortunately issues with all the greens
Very slow and not true
Apparently they are recovering
This made it a very frustrating round of golf
I wished they would have made people aware of this in advance and price should be reduced
I played this course a couple years ago and greens were amazing
Not so this time!
Had I known I would not have played as I place great importance on the quality of the greens

"OC Great Conditions!" NO WAY

Having played Old Corkscrew countless times over the last 20 years. Let year we putted on green painted dirt. This year the greens were equally bad in another way. They were probably running ~6 on the Stimpmeter. This after getting email advertising "Old Corkscrew is in Great Condition". Paying $270 pp for a round here is a joke and an absolute ripoff. This was a weekend round. It appeared that the greens hadn't been cut for days and the perimeter of the greens even longer a seen in the photo. I had talked with the pro shop staff, they took my name and said they would share with the GM. Did I get a call? Nope. At $270+ per round comes with expectations and Old Corkscrew comes falls grossly short. My groups days of paying $1100 per round are over until there is a significant change. The new ownership has failed to make this place better and we are very disappointed.
