Ottawa Park Golf Course

Very fun course, very friendly helpful and citrus staff. Would play again.

Such a fun course and very affordable. They have made a ton of improvements this year! New bunkers and way better greens than previous years. You can tell that the people running it really care about the course, and it is always a great time for golfers at any level!

You should block out tee times if there are two leagues. I was behind the slowest foursome I’ve ever seen and in front of them was the second slowest. If I’d known there were leagues I’d have played somewhere else.

A hidden gem in The City of Toledo

Lots of hills and challenges for the novice and seasoned golfer.

Tucked into the heart of Toledo it’s hard to find a better course within city limits. Always a bit pricey considering you get typically the bare minimum customer service at the “Pro Shop” other than the cash grab, and if you want a hotdog at the turn Good luck. Maybe somebody’s in the kitchen. Probably not. But maybe. Should you just grab it yourself and leave the money? You figure it out. I had to.

The course itself is ok. Maintained well enough. Always plays tough for me despite some fairly straight forward holes.

I don’t mind coming here but it’s never my first choice. Hang on I’m gonna grab a dog and a Pepsi. “Hello? Hello? Anyone?”

Enjoyed playing the course. Out there early and had the course almost to ourselves. Multiple holes with no tee markers, some greens were railroaded, sand was real bad although time of the year makes a difference.

With that said it’s a beautiful setting, a historic course and a fair price. Would definitely play again and recommend.

Course was extremely muddy and tee boxes were in rough shape. Cart paths were broken and over taken by bushes in areas. Staff was nice but appeared they didn’t want to be there. Would not recommend

The course is rather short. The day I played was members day, so I had to wait behind four somes for the front nine. Club house amenities rather small.

The wait at every hole was 15-30 minutes. I think it was overbooked for the holiday weekend.

User-Friendly front 9. A tad tad tougher on the back nine. Definitely overpriced but well- kept

I really enjoyed the challenge of the course’s layout but major work is still needed on the greens and fairways.

First, between hot deal and golf now credit we only paid $20 for 18 and cart….so that lowered our expectations. First, the positives. Staff is super friendly and the pace of play was excellent…we finished in 3 hours, which is pretty awesome on a Friday afternoon. The negatives…greens were terribly slow. Not expecting country club speed, but they’re the slowest I’ve played this year at a public course. Multiple greens/fairways had burnout spots, which was surprising considering the weather has been awesome. Overall, for what we paid we received fair value.

Of course was very nice. People were friendly and each hole was a challenge. The pace of play was very fast. I let two groups go past us as we played and a third one was on our heels. Kind of new to this coughing thing so maybe that's why Phil would recommend this course to anyone. It was a little more expensive than most

I play Ottawa Park a few times every year and have done so for many years. This was the first time I have been to the course this year. Starting with the positive, the #11 green that has been diseased forever is finally back and in good shape. Also, the new carts are a much needed addition. On the negative, the course was looking shabby. At the first tee we were greeted with the ground torn up and tall grass around the tee box. The rest of the course could have used a trim as well. Every sand bunker was loaded with grass and weeds. They also could use more staff. While waiting on the #16 tee I watched a group of teenagers drive a golf cart across the #9 green. I phoned the clubhouse to report it. Additionally we had a group of teenagers in front of us on the back nine that were doing a lot of horseplay. I'm not the best golfer so don't get too riled when I have to wait but when three groups are waiting to tee off someone should be marshalling the course. Davey Golf had been contracted with the City of Toledo to operate the course the past few years and did a wonderful job. I had not seen the course in such nice condition in a long time. The operators prior to Davey seemed to be focused on just cutting grass and squeezing as much money out of the course that they could get. I'm sorry to say that the impression I got is that the course is returning to the what it was. I hope the new operators, Oliphant Golf, will putt more effort into maintaining the course moving forward plus the City of Toledo needs to monitor this as well. Ottawa Park is a historic golf course, second oldest public course in the US, and it should be well maintained.
