Classic Golf Course at Otsego Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Otsego Club offers two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Classic and the Tribute. The courses share a beautiful landscape abundant with water, trees, and wildlife but each course offers different challenges. Built in 1939, the Classic Course, as its name would imply, has a traditional layout that is straightforward with no hidden tricks or hazards. The golf course sprawls across scenic parkland that overlooks the nearby Sturgeon River Valley. Unlike some of the long and more demanding golf courses in the Gaylord area, the Classic Course plays a mild but enjoyable 6,267 yards from the back tees. The greens are fast and the player-friendly fairways are wide and welcoming to beginners. The course finishes with its signature hole, a par 4 where golfers will be hitting from one ski slope to another.

Course conditions
Was looking for the cows allay on this cow pasture. Cart path were tenable it was like riding a bucking bronco.
Less than par
Played on 7/7, not paired with anyone. Only saw a couple of people playing. The staff were all very nice. Carts are gas, no coolers or GPS. No beverage cart. They were watering and mowing everywhere so a couple of tee boxes were not accessible. Some of the forward tee boxes were just placed in the fairways. The roughs were really long and you could easily lose balls even watching them land. The fairway grass was long and there are no divot filler containers on the carts. Greens were ok but some had dry patches. Bunkers were pebbly hard sand/dirt. Part of this course is ski lift/runs. There was some good scenery. Probably not a course we will play again.
Nice course
There was water on the course but no cups. The cart paths on some holes are very rough need to be fixed.
Nice Up North Course
Generous fairways. First hole is a blind tee shot. Slow play. 2 1/2 hours for front nine. 3 1/2 hours for 12 holes. Need a Ranger to move slow groups.
Fun course
Not a spectacular course but a lot of fun and offers fair play for all skill levels.
Bang for your buck!
Great course overall 👍
Cart paths need help, but the fairways are good!
Greens can be kinda fast at spots and have patches once in awhile.
Back nine is a challenge!
Beautiful Views
Nice views from this course, enjoyed the lodge setting. Tough course
Great food poor goof
I was a horrible experience as the help at the bag drop did not even help unload the golf bags. Then gave us no direction as to where everything was located. If you have all day to golf then this is the place for you….we started at 11:25am. We stoped at 2:15 for a drink and grab some food( which was amazing and the staff was great). Back on the course at 2:45. By 4:30 we were only on the 9th hole so we packed up and left without completing the course as we lived 2 hours away.
Golf Diva's
Well maintained fairways and greens. Cart paths need attention. Great for ladies or the average fella. Very little water.
Great place to play.
I have played this course for almost 60 years. It is in really good shape. There is enough difficulty as I think I found not less than a dozen balls and lost one of mine. The greens were in very good shape. Great value
Great golf experience
My son and I played a round there and it was awesome. The staff was great. It was a beautiful course that was well maintained. Even though we didn't shoot our best round it was well worth the Drive from Monroe. I would highly recommend this course, the Classic.
A little maintenance needed
The greens rolled well, but some had some rot. Cart paths were in rough shape, especially around areas it meets the fairway. Very bumpy, like slow to a crawl to avoid bouncing out of the cart. Otherwise the layout is nice and challenging. Paid 55, which I would pay again if the paths were improved but it's pretty often you come across that so hard to forget.
