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.

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 !
Looking Good
Course was in great shape. Love the layout. Played it last year and it was in better shape this year. Staff was awesome. Caught a great deal on GN. If your in the Gaylord area, I highly recommend hitting this track up.
Unique track!
Very interesting layout with amazing elevation changes throughout. Some blind/semi-blind shots that for me as a first timer made it play even tougher.
Good conditions overall and a good value in the realm of Northern Michigan golf.
A beauty must play in MI
This course was in fantastic shape. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Northern Michigan
