GREAT golf course

Old Corkscrew Golf Club is by far one of the best conditioned and most challenging public access golf courses in all of SW Florida. The staff is most attentive and very informative making sure you enjoyed your day . There was a little issue this summer on the greens but they are now back and in great condition. During 'season' they generally speed them up a bit making for more of a challenge. There are 5 different tee box options up to 7400 yds so make sure you play the one within your ability and you will surely enjoy it more.

Course Conditions Deplorable

I grew up playing this public golf course and it was for the most part a reasonably groomed and maintained facility.
I was invited to play recently and found the course to be in a total state of disrepair with even the most basic course grooming lacking.
The bridges over the creek that runs through the middle of the golf course are all falling apart inclusive of rotted wood,
The drainage problems run throughout the golf course with as much as 30% of most fairways or more unplayable and un-mowed.
There is little or no sand in the traps.
The downed trees and debris left over from wind storms weeks/months ago is still in piles along some of the wood lines. No attempt has been made to chip it, just piles of downed trees and branches.
The only area that is somewhat playable are the greens but nobody seems to repair ball marks at EHGC.

Raptor Bay

Course in good condition but the greens were very slow.
The starter when asked where the 1st tee was could only respond ‘across the bridge’ not ‘ it’s across the bridge and have a good round ‘

Forest Glen

From my perspective and I have played many different courses public and private, this is one of the finest conditioned and challenging golf courses I have ever played. If you get the chance to play Forest Glen you won't be disappointed.

Keney Park

I had wanted to play Keney since it reopened after the re=design. I was not impressed with the plywood cart paths and the many black plastic liners sticking out in multiple places around many of the greens. . I know it has been wet with ll of the rain in CT and Keney Park was well know to get and stay very wet when there had been a lot of rain before the re-design. Even after the re-design it still stays wet longer than most courses. You would have thought when they spent all of the money getting this course back they would have addressed this issue. . The fairways and tees were also a bit ragged.

Course pretty good

The fairways in ok shape,traps very consistent playable sand but the greens were very good. The course is challenging but the signage between the longer distance drives from some of the greens to tees could be improved.

It was just ok

Not bad conditions but a bit of a goofy layout. The distance between some greens and tees you almost need a Sherpa .
