Ottawa Park Golf Course

Well, I had a good deal through GolfNow this morning, with 18 holes 1 player, it only costs $12.99 before tax, with coupons I have, I only paid $6.58 which was a deal I couldn’t pass.

I arrived course 15 minutes earlier, and was told there were two single players and a group of 2 players shared the same tee time with me. How that happened? Idk. Anyways, after I checked in, I realized there were 5 or 6 groups lined up already at the tee box for first hole. After I saw the hooks and slices the first group tee shots, I knew my entire afternoon would be wasted here.

So I looked around, found no one was playing at back 9, while the team played at Hole 9 just teed off, so I jumped to 10, rushed to start, and finished the 9-hole game in 45 minutes. Game went well especially when you can play under your own pace, so I ended up using the same ball to finish the game, and had the best score I played on the back 9 of this course.

I would definitely come back again to finish the front 9 if I can score another good deal.

Okay, obviously this place isn’t Inverness or Sylvania CC, but it’s a fun course. Especially for being in the middle of the city, it’s great value for the money. Only problem is that because it’s a short course, you could get stuck behind newbies who don’t understand pace of play or letting people play through. The traps aren’t in great shape, but if you just stay out of them you’ll be okay.

First time playing Ottawa Park course was wonderful greens are great cool old school layout. It a bit short but still offers enough of a challenge.

The clubhouse let a lot to be desired. I couldn't but golf balls because they didn't have any stock of anything. The concession stand wasn't able to even serve a hot dog and ran out of miller lite. Girl behind the counter was nice but said that they have been out of hot dogs for 'a while'.
...I'm shocked at how the clubhouse could be so bare of things to buy.

The conditions were a little wet buy surprisingly, none of the holes were washed out. I really appreciate the rough being trimmed so I could find my ball if it wasn't in the fairway.

I like big trees for shade on hot days , they got'm!

The course is in great condition and well taken care of! The staff is nothing short of perfection and do anything and everything to make you happy!

First off, if it is your first time going to the golf course, do not put it in Apple Maps because it will not take you near the course. For students, they have a great deal which is $25 for 8 holes which is all the good there really is to say about the course.

You can tell it is a public course ran by the city because it is poorly maintained. If your drives are off the fairways, good luck getting a good lie. Weeds everywhere and the ground is extremely hard. Same goes for the tee boxes, as you have to put the tee in the ground with great force. Greens are decent speed but are not taken care of. Occasionally, locals will wander the course.

Much better courses in the area for the same price.

I have played this course my entire life. Been in a league here for the past twenty years. Hands down Ottawa Park Golf Course is in the best shape I have ever seen it!! Hats off to Davey Tree for making the golf course part of Toledo’s “Central Park” a thing of beauty.

Since the City of Toledo has taken over management of this course, it just keeps getting better and better. Stephanie is so kind. We really enjoy this course.

This is a great short little public course. Shortness doesn’t make it easy.
Very well maintained. usually the pace of play is good.
