Classic Golf Course at Otsego Club
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.

Challenging and enjoyable
Played the Classic, Great condition, on par with the higher priced courses in the area.
Great course
Wonderful course. Large open fairways yet still providing challenges. Friendly staff. Great burgers and beers after.
Play was so slow I wanted to quit at 11 but played 3 ,0re holes finally could not take the pace of play and went home. Course worn out needs work.
Don’t waste your money
Course not being well maintained. Even the flags were in shreds. No indication if the hole was in front or rear. Not worth the money or the time when there are so many nice corses in the area.
Pleasant surprise
Course was in very good shape considering the drought conditions locally. Greens were excellent, smooth and true putting. Played with a couple on vacation in 3.5 hours. Classic design of tree lined fairways and small greens was very enjoyable. Price after using one of my rewards was only $20.26. Great bargain. Will definitely play again.
Slowww
On 2nd hole caught up to an gentlemen and his young son,they let me play through on 3rd,seeing as I was solo. After that it was a 10 minute wait on every tee box. Think they need a ranger to enforce pace of play.
Confusing
Need to have a course map on cards or in carts, good lost trying to find the next tee box. Also need more bathrooms throughout course.
Nice course - Nice staff
Snuck in 9 holes and this course was a great choice, excellent condition, great scenery and a welcoming staff
