Ottawa Park Golf Course

The conditions were a little wet buy surprisingly, none of the holes were washed out. I really appreciate the rough being trimmed so I could find my ball if it wasn't in the fairway.

Good short course

I like to play Ottawa Here and there, because even if you aren’t a long distance hitter, you still have plenty of opportunities to hit greens in regulation. (Even on a wayward shot)

The only downside with my latest experience is that if you don’t play the course somewhat regularly, you’re kind of wondering which way the next tee box is. It’s pretty terribly marked and there are some spots where the cart path goes 3 different ways. Lol Even a few cheap laminated staked signs would be a solid addition in my opinion.

Ultimate City-Ran Public Course

First off, if it is your first time going to the golf course, do not put it in Apple Maps because it will not take you near the course. For students, they have a great deal which is $25 for 8 holes which is all the good there really is to say about the course.

You can tell it is a public course ran by the city because it is poorly maintained. If your drives are off the fairways, good luck getting a good lie. Weeds everywhere and the ground is extremely hard. Same goes for the tee boxes, as you have to put the tee in the ground with great force. Greens are decent speed but are not taken care of. Occasionally, locals will wander the course.

Much better courses in the area for the same price.

I have played this course my entire life. Been in a league here for the past twenty years. Hands down Ottawa Park Golf Course is in the best shape I have ever seen it!! Hats off to Davey Tree for making the golf course part of Toledo’s “Central Park” a thing of beauty.

Amazing historic course and in really great shape!!

I play at this course at least a few times a year as it isn’t the longest course in the US but it will keep you honest. Actually it’s history is worth the trip on its own. The course has lots of trees, and tight fairways so you have to play attention to how your playing but the course won’t punish you as the greens roll true and they are big enough for some forgiveness during the day. My confidence really needed Ottawa Park today and I would recommend this course to anyone.

On top of that the team is top notch. For a public course i’m not sure that I’ve ever had a better experience. Thank you for your hospitality!!

First time

If you want a pace of play that is good, might want to consider another course. Lots of hackers out there so it’s a true municipal course. Greens are good but fairways need some help in spots.
