The course could be a professional venue, with a lot of work, greens where great, the fairways full of divots, the entire facility requires extensive manicuring even though it is supposed to be natural areas. The course is very challenging but not suitable for walkers or high handicappers like myself . If you have difficulty hitting fairways, you will need plenty of balls, they told us they have a bunker remediation project starting soon and it needs it badly!

A Bit Down from Before

Always a preferred course, but the conditioning, which was good, was not as good as in the past. The bunkers look like they've not been cared for for years, with tall weeds all over. It's a mighty shame, because other than the above, this would definitely be a 5-star course and a must-play.

Pretty good but..

The course layout is good with many elevation changes. The tees, fairways and greens were in very good condition. However the bunkers should basically be marked as GIR as they have given up on maintaining them at all, they are just left to whatever mother nature will allow to grow in them.

Better than most

Never played here before this year. Fairways are short grass and soft landings. So are the greens. Will play here again.

Disappointed in the Course

I have played this course since it opened. I think this is the worst shape I have seen it in. They have made a decision to let all the traps go...no maintenance so they are all unplayable. Greens were terrible. Dry, spotty, no consistency and not very true. All in all was not happy with the shape of the course and won't be coming back any time soon.

Everything Was Good Except

Naturalizing the greenside bunkers makes no sense. Waste bunkers are generally firm which lowers their need to be groomed. But the greenside bunkers at Otter have tons of sand still and require a proper bunker shot. Unfortunately they cannot be raked properly due to the growth in them so it makes no sense at all.

I'll be back

At first I was disappointed by the sand traps with course sand and weeds but gradually the rest of the course made me not mind.

Dusty, dirty course

The course has great potential but unfortunately the cart paths are dirt with the subsequent dust clouds given off the carts left me in dire need for a bath and mouth rinse. The bunkers were weed choked rendering them unplayable. I will not be returning!
