Great Track and Staff

This course really stands the test of time. Beautiful and challenging layout in excellent shape from tee to green at an incredibly reasonable price. Wonderful practice area with a very friendly and helpful staff. This course is more than worth the drive if you are anywhere near it in the Indianapolis, Cincinnati or Louisville areas.

Great Day for Golf

Otter Creek was in super excellent shape ... fairways were lush ... greens were rolled and fast to putt, but held approach shots ... by far the course in the finest shape of any I have played all year ... will certainly go back within the next month or so as live a bit away ... carts were clean and fresh ... paths were well maintained ... super driving range ... and enough tee boxes for every type player ... and on top of all that the guys in the clubhouse were as nice and professional as you might want to meet

Exceptional course just challenging enough to keep your interest

I found this to be an exceptional course just challenging enough to keep your interest. Although we found the greens on the north course to be in need of attention, bumpy and spotty. The layout keeps you thinking even though I found the course played long even from the white tees often finding ourselves with 200+ on several par 4s..

My Favorite Track

Im a little biased from growing up and playing Otter as a junior nearly every day. However after moving around the country and playing some great courses, nothing compares when the pace of play is good, and playing the tips on the North/West. There’s no place I’d rather play.

Excellent course tough but gettable

Made the trip from sweetwater lake to Columbus to play this course for the first time and was blown away . Otter creek from tee box to green is excellent shape well worth the $$

Some of the best public greens you will putt on guaranteed .. cant wait to return

a little above average

Since it is a 60 mile drive for me to play this course and for the price I was very disappointed. Maybe people in this area don't have as high of standards as myself and the guys I brought with me. Being from Indianapolis I would rate this course as about a 30 to 35.00 course. The people were very friendly. I had to laugh when the starter said the course was in the best shape he had seen it in. I played this course years ago and it was outstanding, but not now.

Don’t believe the distance’s on the card

I’ve been playing Ottercreek for many years. It’s back to excellent condition after some flooding problems. The greens are slick. The only problem with Ottercreek is ignore the distances of the holes on the card. The white tee distances On many holes aren’t even close. They’ve added green tees for older people and they’re closer to what the white tees used to be still very long. When the rough grows up it’s a monster.
