Old Corkscrew Golf Course

Old Corkscrew is an 18-hole golf facility located on Corkscrew Road between Fort Myers and Naples, Florida on a 275-acre magnificently wooded site. The natural flow way cuts through the center of the property, through groves of native hammocks, pines, palms, and palmettos with beautiful vistas of lakes and preserves enhancing the golfing experience. Natural cart paths take you around Old Corkscrew, around purple-topped natural grasses and the marsh that juts into the gracefully-contoured fairways.
