Challenges galore!

A fairly difficult course with a lot of water that comes into play. No forgiveness near the water at all. Greens are undulating with challenging pin placements. Better have your A game working playing this course. Accuracy is a must!

Great course

Loved the course. Nestled in the natural habitat of SW FL. Course layout and unique holes were great. Challenging but not overwhelming. Tees, fairways and greens all in good shape. Nice bunkers. Greens were semi fast but not lightening fast. Overall great experience. I would go back.

Corkscrew value

Corkscrew is a Nicklaus design with some very good holes.
The par 5's are a little quirky. The fairway and bunker conditions are good. They have always had problems with the greens. They are better this year but certainly not in the condition you would expect for a course that is charging $225 per round!
They have opened up some of the scrubby areas and it's visually nicer than in years past.
The clubhouse is small and no one was there.
The staff is very nice and helpful. We played on a Weds. The only good thing about the fees being so overpriced is that the pace of play is great since no one is playing.

More Golf Carts

More golf carts!
It’s a circus act getting a golf cart.
For the money spent on green fees, you would think enough carts would be available when you arrive.
A frustrating beginning at the bag drop for everyone involved.
Carts were being saved for an added mystery group going out, not a welcoming place:(
Our yearly travel group won’t be back:(

Always in great shape

I always enjoy old Corkscrew and it did not disappoint. It is one of the best, if not the best, public courses in SW Florida. A true test of golf for accomplished players and others alike.

Greens are terrible

Wish they would have mentioned the poor conditions of the greens. Rest of the course looks and plays great but most greens had large bare spots and rolled slow and bumpy. A shame as it’s a fantastic layout and other than the greens very good shape. Practice green is nothing like the greens on the course, hopefully they’ll be able to fix or replace the greens on the course.

Pace of play an issue

Made the turn to the back nine and ran into 3 groups on the tee box. The front nine flowed well so not sure what happened.
