About the Course

Jack Nicklaus’ dedication and ingenuity to golf course architecture has produced hundreds of beautiful and exceptional courses worldwide. As the only Nicklaus Signature Design in Southwest Florida, Old Corkscrew has established itself as a must play golf course in the area. The 7,400 yard Championship Par 72 layout meets the highest design and maintenance criteria. And since the property is not part of a real estate development, the course is a core stand-alone extraordinary golf experience.

A Certified Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary

A Certified Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary, Old Corkscrew is Southwest Florida’s #1-rated Golf Course by Golf Magazine. Only a legend like Jack Nicklaus could master nature and golf to create such a memorable experience.

Eighteen holes of world-class championship golf are woven into a tapestry of mature oaks, pines, cypress trees, lakes, prairie grass and wetlands – a natural habitat for a spectacular variety of indigenous species including alligators, tortoises, raccoons and water birds.

“By far, the networking opportunities are the main reason people keep coming back to the conference. It’s a unique opportunity to interact with your peers from the industry. The atmosphere is “friendly competitors” that are willing to share their experiences in running their companies. The attendees are typically top management (presidents, owners and general managers).”

Rick Bromm, WHMA Chairman
