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.

Good Condition
Fairways and greens were in very good condition. Some of the tee boxes needed work but what the heck, I had the ball on the tee. Greens were fair but a lot of difficult putts going downhill and breaking - better be on the low side or you will be on your next putt.
lightening fast greens and nice fairways
upon entering from road thought I would be disappointed in course. once on course totally enjoyed. fairways had been mowed and greens mowed and pressed. played on fastest greens ever and would say stimp meter at 11. well worth effort to play.. saw flock of 6 wild turkeys.
Excellent day of golf
Great value. The course was in very good condition, especially the fairways and tee boxes. A few greens had a trouble spot but overall was in great shape.
This course was not maintained at all!!
I will never play this course again, absolutely not taken care of at all. I paid 35 dollars for 18 and a cart and they couldn’t pay me to come play there again. Cart paths had roots coming out of them. No signs on where to go for the next hole. Had to drive through hole 7 to get the hole number 3 and so on. Some holes were absolutely sad to look at, if it was dry, not cut, not even being able to see the holes. If a person who didn’t have a gps on there phone they would have no idea where to hit the ball. No signs on how the hole is laid out. Waste of my time and money.
Great for All
Course was in good shape, greens rolled just a little slow. Course was busy, but still the groups moved at a good clip and kept things moving due to the open fairways. Overall, it was a classic layout with some cool views from high up on the slopes. Perfect spot for an opening round if playing the other courses in the area. Crew inside was awesome and we will be back!

The course has a beautiful setting in the hills. Nice layout, some holes toght, lots of trees. Almost no water. Greens were in great shape. Friendly staff.
Great value
I had visited Treetops and drove past this course. I was happy with the value. Clean place and friendly staff.
Nice Course. Slow play.
My wife and I played on a Saturday morning. The course was great and in great condition. Our problem was we got caught behind a slow group of 16 who refused to let us play through. It took us 3 hours to finish the back nine. The stickler was that the ranger was aware that the group was slow because it took them 6 hours for 18 the day before but did nothing to get them to pick up their pace of play.
Despite the slow pace it was a good day on the golf course.
Nice course for a good price
Well maintained, fun layout, good pricing. Will be back next year for sure
