Tribute Golf Course at Otsego Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Tribute Course is one of two golf courses at the Otsego Club. With its other course, the Classic, Otsego was the first of what is now Gaylord's golf mecca. Added in 2001, the Tribute is the newer of the two but it has quickly made a name for itself. In addition to being a challenge, the course also offers picturesque scenery on almost every hole. There is very little water on the golf course but the layout doesn't need it with its variety of elevation changes and numerous strategically placed sand bunkers situated along the greensides and fairways. The course demands accuracy and length, making it a formidable test for even seasoned players but players of all skill levels will enjoy the unrivaled scenery regardless of their score. The third hole is one of the most scenic holes in northern Michigan, and it also provides a great birdie opportunity.

Beautiful course to play
This was a beautiful course to play. It was in great condition and had great views.
Beautiful course!
This course is a fun wonderful course. Just as good as Crooked Tree that we played a day before.
Beautiful course!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every each hole. A lot of elevation changes and wonderful sceneries!
Great layout.....bunkers need work!
Very interesting and challenging layout. Lots of elevation changes and mostly uneven lies. Practice area is not up to par for a place that bills itself as one of the top golf destinations in Michigan. Course was in very nice shape except for the bunkers! Many of them had very little sand and lots of large rocks..... unacceptable for a course that charges these prices. Everyone was friendly. The resort itself is old looking and could use some maintenance. We were thankful that we did not stay at the resort.
The course is a great natural layout.
What a beautiful course. The designers did an amazing job of using the natural layout of this course. It is absolutely stunning. I can’t believe that it is not at the top of most best courses lists.
Hidden gem
Love this course. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Hidden gem of the north nothin fancy besides breath takin views
Very windy and cold but I picked this day and welcomed the challenge!
It’s a favorite!
The views and the layout of this course is a favorite!
Especially in the fall, the view as you come around to hole #3 is spectacular.
