My new favourite course

This is a five-star course all around, but the greens definitely need work. Fantastic layout. Beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff. I played last fall and the greens were in rough shape then as well. I think the green aeration equipment that's slices rather than take plugs is far easier on the greens. whoever did the plugs on these greens didn't put enough sand down last year. I can hardly wait to play the course when the greens are in top condition.

It's Better

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 wish I lived closer

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 Time Playing

Most Challenging Course I've Played!

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!!!!

Its improving.

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.

Impossible course in poor condition - stay away

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

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.

great course in recovery

I love this course as the layout was challenging and the maintence was top notch. The course sufferred from lack of laobors during pandemic. I play this week just to check out the progress: the bunker work is still in progress. Hole 12 is closed; Hole 9 has been turned to 2 Par-3 holes, still challenging.

The fairway is in OK shape as many divots are not repaired. The greens are firm, fast and rolling true.

The new ( are they new? I can't recall) carts are beautiful with USB charging for your phones.

Nice golf course

Very nice golf course in great condition. The group behind us were very unruly, did not understand the rule of golf. On hole number 4 one of them actually teed up when we were still on the green and nearly hit me, luckily it ended in the bunker. We corrected the ignorant golfer to go and read the rule of golf. I drew the attention of the ranger to the unacceptable golf etiquette of the group . I did not enjoy my game yesterday because I had a few issues with my eyes, I played below my standard. I will play the course again when am better hopefully before the end of the golf season.

Bunker'd

Course revamping the bunkers on course. Ninth hole turned into two par threes and hole 14 was unplayable while they did the bunker overhaul.
Otherwise a course and a half for golf enthusiasts

Always a beautiful round.

This is an absolutely beautiful course with a very interesting and challenging layout. Currently there is a massive effort underway to fix and or eliminate bunkers, so they are a bit of a mess at the moment, but the changes will greatly improve the course.
I play here as often as possible but being retired, I have to catch opportunities when there is a bargain price.
Definitely my favourite course in the area.
