About Old Corkscrew (Estero, FL)
Billed as the only "stand alone" Jack Nicklaus course in Southwest Florida, Old Corkscrew Golf Club is not part of a real estate development. Named for the winding river nearby, it's set on a 275-acre site about seven miles east of I-75. The course is built to Audubon International standards and reflects its original natural setting with stands of cypress and magnificently tall pines. Nicklaus' design philosophy is apparent throughout with well balanced holes that vary in direction, look, and feel. Put Old Corkscrew on your itinerary and be one of the first to play this extraordinary golf course.

Wayne (Niles, IL) says:
Beautiful, unique, very challenging but worth the effort. Great condition. Negatives are that there was no food available in the morning (apparently their staff didn't show up), and they misplaced some of my golf items at check-in.

Very challenging and not for the average golfer. course will beat you up. We played 36 and it was a battle. Looks good, plays tough.

Nice layout, tough greens. Overall conditions were pretty good (although not close to Tiburon) -- clubhouse facilities are significantly substandard.

Course is difficult for all but single digit golfers. Otherwise good experience.

Best course of the week! This was our last course and we absolutely loved it! The greens are undulating and awesome! Definitely not a course for beginners. A must do for the avid golfer!

Beautiful course, but WAY too difficult for average golfer!! Suggest you recommend this course only to single-digit handicaps!

Jim (Cuyahoga Falls, OH) says:
This is waaaaay too difficult a course for couples to play. We played with another couple, and that lady said playing this course was "agony"...none of us disagreed. We decided that perhaps Jack Nicklaus was in pain and facing his hip replacement surgery and wanted everyone who played this course to be in pain, too! Actually, playing the course on "club championship day" when the greens were double-cut and rolled and the pins were in "crazy hard" placements (again, that is what one of the others said)...Simply put, it was a beautiful looking course that we never care to see again - there is just an unfairness about it...I guess that is what the memebers wanted?? Obviously not our fave...
