Otter Creek Golf Club is situated in the idyllic farm community of Otterville, Ontario, which is only a 30-minute drive from Woodstock. The rural landscape was formerly farm and tobacco fields, lending a unique, rustic character to the golf course. The layout sprawls across 300 acres, winding through the scenic, wooded valleys of Otter, Cedar, and Spittler Creeks. Dick Kirkpatrick, one of Canada's top golf course architects, designed Otter Creek Golf Club. Kirkpatrick designed the course with players of all skill levels in mind, incorporating minimal forced carries and six sets of tees to make it more accessible for those who are new to the game

Impossible course in poor condition - stay away

A huge disappointment. Narrow fairways with fescue on edges making slightly offline balls impossible to find. Layout requires heroic carries over ravines. ( for example 190 yard 2nd shot from edge of ravinecto csrry. Traps in awful shape with weeds growing out off mud. Expensive and poor value.

Excellent Value

Excellent value for a course that can compete with the likes of copetown and monthill. I've played much lower tier courses for more money thanks to the Golfnow deal.

What a treat

What a treat! Otter Creek is fair but challenges every club in the bag. Every hole is different and picturesque. What a beautiful property.

great course in recovery

I love this course as the layout was challenging and the maintence was top notch. The course sufferred from lack of laobors during pandemic. I play this week just to check out the progress: the bunker work is still in progress. Hole 12 is closed; Hole 9 has been turned to 2 Par-3 holes, still challenging.

The fairway is in OK shape as many divots are not repaired. The greens are firm, fast and rolling true.

The new ( are they new? I can't recall) carts are beautiful with USB charging for your phones.

A good challenge

Good course to challenge yourself with. Couple holes really make you commit to certain shots, felt like I played almost every club in my bag.

Nice golf course

Very nice golf course in great condition. The group behind us were very unruly, did not understand the rule of golf. On hole number 4 one of them actually teed up when we were still on the green and nearly hit me, luckily it ended in the bunker. We corrected the ignorant golfer to go and read the rule of golf. I drew the attention of the ranger to the unacceptable golf etiquette of the group . I did not enjoy my game yesterday because I had a few issues with my eyes, I played below my standard. I will play the course again when am better hopefully before the end of the golf season.

Bunker'd

Course revamping the bunkers on course. Ninth hole turned into two par threes and hole 14 was unplayable while they did the bunker overhaul.

Otherwise a course and a half for golf enthusiasts

Always a beautiful round.

This is an absolutely beautiful course with a very interesting and challenging layout. Currently there is a massive effort underway to fix and or eliminate bunkers, so they are a bit of a mess at the moment, but the changes will greatly improve the course.

I play here as often as possible but being retired, I have to catch opportunities when there is a bargain price.

Definitely my favourite course in the area.

Disappointing

When we got there found our greens had been aerated on the front and 18th hole was shut down 9th hole was turned into 2 par threes. It is nice course and was looking forward to playing it total downer with above issues. Would recommend calling before booking to see if 18 is open again. Also doing a lot of bunker work

Course in excellent condition bunker renovations underway.

Been playing here for years, course is excellent and now they are repairing years of misery in the bunkers. Cleaning up and replacing sand making them smaller and removing some. Best thing to happen in years.

Bunker repair in progress

The bunkers are currently being repaired and when finished, I believe the course will be even better.

The driving range is in good condition.

But The Wind

Bunker rehab project progressing. 5 holes ‘done’. 40 or so bunkers being removed and replaced by fairway, rough or some sort of grass bunker-I’m not sure. Greens fast and challenging. Extremely windy this day. 3 clubs into the wind, your best guess with the wind. I enjoyed every stroke and there were lots.

Great driving range.

Staff pleasant as always.

A seventy minute drive for me to the course but as a once a month treat a no brainer.

Otter Creek under construction

Disappointed in this course, I hadn’t played it for a few years but it has gone downhill. Almost all bunkers were out of commission, most of them eyesores. They had 3 foot high weeds growing out of them. Cart paths need to be paved. Worn out grass entries on the fairways looks awful. Fairways were in good shape, greens were decent. Bunkers horrendous. 8th hole was closed so they made #9 into two par 3’s.
