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

I'll be back

At first I was disappointed by the sand traps with course sand and weeds but gradually the rest of the course made me not mind.

Dusty, dirty course

The course has great potential but unfortunately the cart paths are dirt with the subsequent dust clouds given off the carts left me in dire need for a bath and mouth rinse. The bunkers were weed choked rendering them unplayable. I will not be returning!

Fabulous

This is an incredibly tough test of golf. Must be a bogey golfer to enjoy it. Greens are very challenging potato-chip designs. All bunkers should be filled in - they don't have the staff to maintain them.

Bunkers are terrible !!!

Otter Creek has a great layout but the bunkers have weeds growing in all of them and are not even being raked. It is such a shame to see how bad they have become. Not worth playing unless you get a round for under 50 bucks with cart.

No Maintenance

Management has let this place go. The bunkers haven't been touched all year, conditions were considerably worse than previous years, and to top it all off, they aerated the greens WHILE I was playing. They didn't even have them top dressed or rolled afterwards. If I wanted to play Plinko, I would have gone on the Price is Right.

November golf

Otter Creek is a great challenging golf course, a little bit of a drive but worth the money. Nice course lay-out although #9 hole is a little different. I'd play this course again and certainly recommend it. Very scenic .

Bunkered mess

Course was in good condition other than the bunkers are overgrown and full of weeds. I dont know what changed over the last year or two but the bunkers are unplayable. Do not pay full price for playing here. Disappointing to say the least.

Inexcusable Bunkers

The course is always nice to play and in good condition, EXCEPT the bunkers which have not only weeds for 80% coverage but actual small bushes and trees taking root. Either clean the out once a month (vs not in the last 2 YEARS) or grow them over into playable grass bunkers, not penalty traps as they are now

Great course, but....

I have been playing this course for the past ten yrs. I love it, everything about except for.. The Bunkers.!!

Since 2020, when covid first started until now. This course is too nice not to have the bunkers looking and playing their best...

Please do something about this for next year and moving forward...

Worth the drive, a must play for everyone..

Everything I read was true

Yes the bunker had been allowed to go weeds but changes coming next year. Course however is challenging and the tee details are accurate. Would highly recommend.
