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.

Scenic
My favorite GC in Gaylord area because the good deals you can get. This course is very scenic and well maintained with excellent greens. The pace of play is usually good but we had 4 not so good golfers in front of us playing a 2 on 2 scramble which takes alot longer than just walking to your ball and hitting. They measured and looked at every putt like they were at Augusta. The parts that makes me irritated is we were a twosome both lower handicapped golfers and they never waived us thru. By 18 they were 3/4 holes behind. Did not have a clue about golf etiquette The GC is great just a bad day

Shocked at how nice it is.Treated great and loved the course
What a treat!
This course is absolutely beautiful, fairways were perfect and the greens impeccable. Only thing not perfect were traps, stones and poor sand. Its without question the nicest course I've played this summer, ill be back in October to play and enjoy to incredible tree top views from many of the tees on this course.
Highly recommend to any ability, I'm a 13 and played the white tees and shot 84!! Would be a real test from the black tees.
Tribute has a lot of elevation changes.
The course was in great shape. Lots of great scenery and elevation changes. My problem was with the golf now app. I had a gift card for $60.00 that I entered into the app. When I got to the course I couldn't find it. The app isn't user friendly.
Awesome course! In great condition! Highly recommend playing this course if you are in the Gaylord area!!
It's been a while.
Haven't played the course since new owners took over. It was in poor shape the last couple of times I had played.
So much nicer now. It's back to the condition it was in the early 2000s. It's as good as any Treetops course at half the cost. Highly recommended.
Tribute
First time playing Trubute. Course fairways in excellent condition. Pleasantly surprised by the width of the fairways. Sand traps on some of the holes could use better sand. Loved the elevation changes!!! Loved the length of the course. Was.not busy so no problem with the pace of play. Would definitely play this course again!!
Tribute is back!
Course is in fabulous condition. A must play for anyone considering a trip to northern Michigan. Pristine conditions now paired with a spectacular design.
Great time at Otsego
It felt like it was just me and the guy in front of me on course was very quiet day Beautifully views !
