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.

Fantastic golf course
We really enjoyed this course over the Labor Day weekend! Mountains , creeks and tranquility, well maintained course …..Definitely would come back again in fall for the beautiful colors and nature!
Amazing views
Course was amazing. Well taken care of with tricky greens. Great views and friendly staff.
Surprise
This was a last minute booking on Golf Now…we weren’t sure what to expect. The course surpassed all expectations. The staff was very friendly. Beautiful course, excellent conditions & the fastest most unpredictable greens we’ve played in a long time. I would definitely come back & play again & again.
One of my favorites
The Tribute is one of my favorite courses. Nice varied layout with some open, almost links styled holes, some tree lined, some dramatic elevation changes, etc. Overall the course was in great shape with the only negative being the rocks in the the traps.
Great course with great views.
Absolutely great and would rate 5 stars instead of 4 if they actually cared to take care of their bunkers. Plenty of unranked bunkers and unkept bunkers with tons of rocks and large stones. Would come back again but not worth the 120 rate with the bunkers left the way they are.
Great Gaylord course
A great course just out of town, with lots of elevation changes and superb greens. It’s well worth the daily rate for this tract.
Northern Michigan golf at its best
A challenging course that’s always in great condition and one of my favorites. I live north of Houston Texas so we don’t get very much in elevation change. The tribute has it all, fast greens, perfect fairways, and moderate rough. I play it once a year when I come north, always around the middle of July
Awful weather but a treat!
Love the challenge & views of this course!
They are upgrading and the new halfway house at hole number 12 is fantastic!

Looks like you did not break shooting 100. Rate the Course not how you hacked it up. Take a lesson!!!!!
