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

Great course

Play the whites if your handicap is below 18. Sand bunkers are deep and not regular sand. Dont hit them out if a regular bunker. Punch it out. Ball first.

Beautiful

This links style course is very nicely laid out. I am a high handicap golfer and find the course to be very challenging even from the white tees, but while it is difficult it is also a lot of fun to play. I continue to struggle on this course but always look forward to playing this beautiful course. The staff have always been very friendly and flexible.

Painfully slow

Great course conditions & layout Although it was nice to golf with my wife as a twosome, there were at least 3-4 twosome in a row...and on a busy day, it makes for a very slow round. We stopped at the turn because everyone in front of us did so, and there were 3 groups waiting at the 10th tee box...including a foursome.

The girl at the snack bar was overwhelmed and she had run out of many item choices.

We were always feeling rushed to tee off because there is another twosome always waiting behind us....even though you are going to wait on your next shot. If I made a bad shot, you felt compelled to just pick up and move on & line up on the next hole...by the 18th hole, you are frustrated & just glad the round is over. If this was my first time here, I would be hard pressed to come back.

Spectacular

My friend been asking me to drive over an hour for the past 3 years to play this course so I did . My first expression was this place is in the middle of nowhere until I get there and start playing, i Was amazed how well it was maintained and challenging. Every hole is different and make you use all of your clubs. Am not a pro to play the blues and we played the whites . This is one of my favourite course for sure and planning to go back . I hate driving over one horse but I will for this course . Highly recommended.

WOW what a beautiful beast of a course

First time playing Otter Creek. Wow this course is tough, BUT fair. Played the whites which play about 6,000 yards. Wind was blowing, what a day. Loved it. The fairways are immaculate. The greens in beautiful condition, bunkers awesome, you could putt on the tee boxes.

This course is a steal for the price and well worth the 1 hour drive from London.

I would not recommend it to a beginner.

Great hidden gem

This is a fabulous course with a great staff. The fellas in the shop are always friendly and helpful and the Clubhouse staff are great. This course is over an hour away from me but it’s well worth the commute.

Hidden gem

One of my favourite courses and one of the best in south western Ontario.

Bit of a love hate scenario. It’s a very tough course that’s punitive on missed shots.

Greens were very fast considering it’s spring and the amount of rain we’ve had. The greens aren’t what they were two years ago but very playable. Pins were in nasty positions today. Fairways are better than most courses greens.

Overall, course is great. Lots of elevation changes. Elevated, well protected greens. Good staff. The course is never busy.
