Otter Creek Golf Club

This course is a must play for beginners and experienced golfers it’s quite challenging but the fresh new look is awesome. All new signs at each hold plus most of the course pathways have been paved. Bunkers have a new fresh look with new sand. Only thing I was disappointed by was the old bunkers the removed were not sodded and kinda just filled in with weeds and other growth. But still one of my favourites to play. It’s almost never busy because alot of people don’t know about it

They have done alot of work on the bunkers and the greens . Course was in excellent shape

So I drive over 1.5 hrs each way because I love this course so much. It is a great layout, amazingly friendly staff and usually a great pace. You always get treated to a wildlife mecca. My last round inckuded: Deer, cardinals, a snake, American Bald eagle soaring over me with her young, and the other usual animals you would expect.

I was told there would be some
bunkers filled in, and unfortunately the aesthetics of of this hidden gem course have changed significantly. (Including fescue getting trimmed back)

It is still a great track, but they went way too far with the cost savings measures by filling in way too many , AND some strategically placed bunkers which I was told WOULDNT be touched. The stunning visual appeal this course had is mostly gone , as far too many fescue areas were mowed down, even though I get they wanted to speed up play.

I will still male this a must play each year, but will trim the visits from 8 per year to 1-2.

The staff though are second to none, and always super accommodating

The last 4 times I played here this year the traps hadn't been redone. They are now and they're working at paving the cart paths.

I've played this course for the first time this year and went back 5 times because I really like it. It's very challenging but a long drive from my home. I'll be back.

First of all, I would like to clarify my "Average" rating of course amenities. Golfing at this time of year locally is VERY rare. It is typically colder than a mother-in-law's kiss at this time of year. As such, Otter Creek (southern Ontario, Canada) was no doubt well into their winterizing program. This meant off-course amenities were not practical (there were a total of three vehicles in the expansive parking area).
They had also removed most of the signage on the course. This course is long/diverse. Without the signage we got turned around and had to ask the maintenance crews for directions...twice! I'm confident this is NOT something you will encounter within the regular season. We were truly blessed to even get on at this time of year!
This is not a course for the "weak of heart"! I'm not a low handicap golfer so the challenges were many and varied. I LOVED it!!! This course will assuredly test the low handicap golfer in that you must be able to hit reasonably long AND accurately. I am very much looking forward to playing it again when I don't have to wear insulated underwear, a toque and a heavy sweater! This course could very well be my absolute favourite even if it was a 1 one drive (we are surrounded by courses in close proximity). This course compares favourably with some of the better courses in Arizona! It beat me up and left me for dead. ...can't wait to return!!!!

Keep up the improvements !!
Lots of white Ohio sand, love it !!
Too bad season is almost over 🙁

The grounds crew are working hard to get the bunkers playable. They've put new sand in some bunkers and puting dirt and grass seed in others. Overall the changes will be great for the course in the spring.

A huge disappointment. Narrow fairways with fescue on edges making slightly offline balls impossible to find. Layout requires heroic carries over ravines. ( for example 190 yard 2nd shot from edge of ravinecto csrry. Traps in awful shape with weeds growing out off mud. Expensive and poor value.

Excellent value for a course that can compete with the likes of copetown and monthill. I've played much lower tier courses for more money thanks to the Golfnow deal.

What a treat! Otter Creek is fair but challenges every club in the bag. Every hole is different and picturesque. What a beautiful property.
