But The Wind

Bunker rehab project progressing. 5 holes ‘done’. 40 or so bunkers being removed and replaced by fairway, rough or some sort of grass bunker-I’m not sure. Greens fast and challenging. Extremely windy this day. 3 clubs into the wind, your best guess with the wind. I enjoyed every stroke and there were lots.
Great driving range.
Staff pleasant as always.
A seventy minute drive for me to the course but as a once a month treat a no brainer.

Otter Creek under construction

Disappointed in this course, I hadn’t played it for a few years but it has gone downhill. Almost all bunkers were out of commission, most of them eyesores. They had 3 foot high weeds growing out of them. Cart paths need to be paved. Worn out grass entries on the fairways looks awful. Fairways were in good shape, greens were decent. Bunkers horrendous. 8th hole was closed so they made #9 into two par 3’s.

Bunker restoration

In the last few years they let the bunkers go. No maintenance just terrible. Now they are restoring the bunkers. Good idea but brought on by negligence.
Because of this the third hole was closed. Would have been nice to know before booking

I am extremely disappointed

Went to the pro shop to find out a hole is closed was pretty disappointing

I would have never travelled an hour to play a course with such poor conditions

Hopefully I get refund or something of value in return

Hidden gem

This course is so beautiful. Such a hidden gem. Never seems to be super busy. Pace of play is fantastic. Marshalls do a great job having everyone pick up the pace. This course will be perfect once the bunkers are revived again.

Con: the beer cart needs to be updated. Two coolers bungee to the cart is kind of sad. Most courses have just about everything and anything available in their state of the art cart.

Course looks abandoned

What an awful experience. Hadn’t played this course in years and they have let it go. We arrive and are notified that the third hole par 5 is closed. “Maintenance”. So we had to skip that hole. Then they took number 9 and stuck a pin in fairway and made it two par threes of 180 yds each. Greens were awful. Ant hills everywhere. They were finally cutting the rough. Fairways awful. Sounds like they are going to sell the place. Group on front of us was furious with the money they paid. Dog track. Wouldn’t play again for free

A hidden GEM

We try to make the trip from London once a year.
We got an amazing deal on Golf Now and played for under $50.
They are making significant renovations to the course as it required an overhaul of the bunkers.
Each week, they close a couple of holes and have made the 9th into two par 3’s to retain 18 holes of play.
I always enjoy playing this course. It demands great shotmaking and putting.
If there is one major complaint about the layout, it is the 12th hole. This par 3 is virtually impossible to hold the green on. Even if you hit it into the bail out area front right of the green, the ball will roll off the back into a catchment area. This hole needs to be totally redone. Perfectly struck irons that fly to the putting surface will ALWAYS roll off the back. This is extremely frustrating and can ruin what should be an easy par or even birdie chance.
For me, the par 5’s are exceptional on the course. The 3rd, 6th, 11th and even the 18th (the weakest of the four) are outstanding golf holes.
All in all, I enjoy Otter Creek. With the improved bunker enhancements, this course should even get better.
CC from London

Pretty course with some interesting holes.

I like this course. I would it even more if they were to clear the bunkers of weeds and keep them all. Apparently they are filling in half the bunkers. This will take away from the challenge & looks of the course.
Some of the greens were quite challenging & fairways were well defined.

Very accommodating due to traffic issues getting to the course.

We had issues with an accident on the 401 near ingersoll so it took us 45mins longer to get there. Called the course and they made things work for us.
Course is very good condition and the bunker work is ongoing .
Front 9 plays as a 33. Back 36.
Love this golf course.

Could have, should have

Great course layout. Challenging for average player. Greens and fairways in great condition. However the course has many bunkers that have been neglected for a long time. They are starting to fix them but not likely this year. And they have started closing down one hole at a time to repair bunkers. Will be ba k but not until these repairs ars completed.
