Great layout

Course in general was in great shape. The bunkers however were not and seems to have been allowed to grow wild.
Only complaint for a great track.

Ok, not great

$83 on a Saturday with cart is not terrible, but considering where this course is located should be a bit less. Very unimpressed with the bunkers. For that price there should actually be good bunkers. Greens were slow. Course was in decent shape. 18th hole is ridiculous and a terrible finishing hole. Tee of time was 810 am and they were over 15 minutes behind schedule. Then the Marshall drives by and tells we are 2 holes behind based on our tee time. 4 hrs and 18 minutes to play 18 holes as a 4some. Won't be in a rush to go back.

Awesome day

The fairways & greens are in excellent condition, however the bunkers are atrocious.
It would only take a little work to improve the bunkers even just for ascetic.

One of the toughest coursed in the region.

When I first golfed here earlier this year I was very disappointed by the condition of the sandtraps. By the end of the round I didn't care because everything else was great. Still feel that way.

Weed infested , grass and hard sand bunkers?

Course needs a referee to increase pace of play, it is VERY slow and annoying!

What is with the bunkers or are they even called bunkers, they are overgrown, weed infested, grass and hard sand!!!! When will the owners get real bunkers???

Excellent layout

The fairways and greens are in excellent condition, however the bunkers are absolutely atrocious, weeds and overgrown to ridiculous degrees.
Staff informed me that the plan was to start addressing this in July.
Hope they do.

A shame

Clubhouse, fairways, greens and especially the friendliness/courtesy/service by the staff was excellent....unfortunately, the bunkers are no longer playable....Even took our group a good 2 minutes to wade through the thigh-high weeds to find a wayward shot that landed in the greenside bunker on #3....Time to sod the bunkers and be done with it....a terrible shame really, this used to be one of my favorite courses within 45 minutes of my commute.

Otter Creek

This course has a very good course design and layout and was in good condition. Generous landing areas off the tee and challenging approach to green shots - except the bunkers had not been maintained this year at all based on their appearance. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent customer service.

Would have been helpful if the course signage gave directions to next tees, or a course map was on the scorecard / provided to public players unfamiliar with the course. We had difficulty finding the 1st tee, and another group were lost on the back nine looking for the 16th tee.

About those bunkers

As noted by others we were prepared and can only add no one is overstating the issue. Essentially you need to play the bunkers as lateral hazards.Its a shame because the course layout is both interesting and challenging making great use of the significant topography available. Playing for the first time local knowledge would have been helpful on countless shots. Unfortunately pace was close to 4:45 so there was plenty of time to think about it and not in a good way. If pace had been better despite the bunkers I would have given it an additional star on the overall rating.
