About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6267 yards
Slope 131
Rating 70.5

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.

Beautifully maintained

We played the Classic Course at Otsego Resort in Gaylord. The course is in excellent condition! It was a pleasant surprise to play on such beautifully maintained fairways and greens. If there is not a course map on your cart, be sure to ask for one in the pro shop because it is easy to get confused with the back nine and front nine often side by side. That is a minor problem though and shouldn’t deter anyone from playing here. You won’t regret it!

Classic, Gaylord

Played course because of a fantastic deal. Would play number of other courses around Gaylord before playing again. Course layout keeps you guessing where the next hole is.

It was a slow paced. They let groups of 6 and 9 play together. Nice people, though. They let me play through. Decent course. Nothing spectacular.

Not a bad course... especially for the price

It is an okay course, however when you figure in the value due to the savings from this website then I would highly recommend it.
