Tampa to Naples Golf Course recommendations?

Anyone have a recommendation for a nice track somewhere between Tampa, Florida and Naples, Florida. Thank you in advance.

Corkscrew in Naples...I have been trying to play it ever since I saw it online.  The only problem is that I live 2.5 hours away!  Looks awesome.

If wanna play Old Corkscrew[which is fabulous] go to EZ Links...you can book it with their specific teetime up to 12 days in advance at $75 vs $125 normal.....Gateway is a nice  private track I played in January.  Call the club and ask the pro for the # of the guy who sets up golfers there last minute. I can't find the guys #....It had been standby golf but their FL listing is not viewable....Closer to Tampa the Fox Hollow course is nice. But again check EZ Links....great list of courses with great discounts....I use the name your price feature...My guess is Old Corkscrew could be had for $70.  Good Luck.

A buddy of mine played Old Corkscrew and said it was the hardest course he's ever played. He's a good player too.

Look up the World Woods facility north of tampa in brooksville, ive heard you can get some solid deals there as well.

World Woods is a great course, but if I'm reading the OP's post correctly, I'm guessing they are looking for something on the way to Naples heading from Tampa?  Also, be aware that World Woods' (along with most courses probably) rates go up starting the 1st of January.   If not there's lots of great courses between an hour and an hour and a half from Tampa (Orange County National near Orlando for one).  If you are looking for something on your way to Naples, check out Waterlefe Golf and River Club in Bradenton.  Rates are reasonable in the off season, but I think they are jumping 1/1 as well.  Beautiful course.

I'm afraid that's about the extent of my knowledge of the courses between here and there.  If money's no object, you might look into Tiburon in Naples.  Never played, but seems to always be on the "best public courses" list that GolfWeek puts out for Florida.

Tiburon is the host course for the Shark Shoot-Out. Nice digs there at the Ritz Carlton.

Have to agree that Corkscrew is the best "accessible" course in SW Florida. I played it last year and although I scored horrendous, it was May time and really humid it was a pure beauty, the practice ground alone is worth visiting. If you are going to play the longer tees i'd take more long clubs than wedges :) I always seemed to be two club lengths out!

The carts are really good too, we don't see things like that in the UK, I wouldn't mind knowing the manufacture if anyone else knows?

They play the Shark Shoot-Out on the Gold course, and the Black (to me) is MUCH tougher.  Both are extremely nice.

I have to agree with everyone here about Old Corkscrew.  Played it several times and it's superb.  Better have a good short game if you want to score well, because the greens are brutal (for play-not condition).

Another course down there to play is TPC Treviso Bay.  I played it many times when it was private, but I heard it's now public.  Not sure on cost.  So many great courses in the Naples area.
