ESTERO, Fla. - Golf Magazine has named Old Corkscrew Golf Club to its list of "Best Courses Near You." It is the magazine's first ever ranking of the best courses you can play in every state. The list includes 30 courses in Florida, but only two courses from Southwest Florida made the list: Old Corkscrew and Tiburon.

"This recognition from Golf Magazine is a terrific honor," said Mark Iwinski, manager of golf operations for Old Corkscrew Golf Club. "Old Corkscrew is a spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature design course with beautiful vistas of lakes and nature preserves. What makes this course so special is that there are no residential homes surrounding the course, so the golf experience is incredibly serene."
