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

Worth the drive to Otterville!

Probably has one of the toughest par 4s I have ever played (the 9th) getting there is one thing over a massive valley, but then the challnge begins on the green, especially if it is a front pin location - be careful!!

Amazing golf couse

It's everything they say it is. Firm fairways, even firmer greens (a few more years maturing needed to hold better). The layout is fantastic. The par 3's are beautiful and challenging. The par 4's require thought and the par 5's require acurate approach shots. It is worth the drive to play this course.

VERY CHALLENGING. GREAT LAYOUT.

If you can hit it long there isn't many tougher courses from the back tees. This course has every conceivable obstecle that makes you want to play it over again. Fairways are good but greens are quick and firm. Most shots don't hold without a good bounce but are definately a true test of your ability. The club house and proshop are amazing looking buildings.
Over all I think everybody that plays there wants another crack at it again to see if you can do better and play a few shots and holes differently.

Couple of quirks

This is a beautiful course that runs very naturally through the varied terrain. There are a couple of quirks with the course. The first is one of the par 3's runs downhill and there is a green for another hole right behind this one. Very tricky on the eye. On this same hole, you have to drive your cart down to the green and then back up the same route to the next tee. It causes unneccessary waiting on the tee.
The second quirk is on the ninth hole. For first timers, it is surprising to find your great drive is in a ravine, about 200 yards from the tee. The ravine is about 150 yards wide, but cannot be seen from the tee.

Otherwise, the course is very visually appealing and I would go back more often if it was not so far out of the way and the staff was a little more welcoming.

good value but far from civilization

very challenging course and great value for money. I would suspect this track could charge double or more if closer to a steadier stream of golfers.
125km from Oakville but still worth the drive.

This course is over rated.

Course is out of the way, not easy to get to and has several dangerous areas including 3rd green - 4th tee, 5th tee, 5th green / 8th second shot and 17th hole.

It also has several holes that are just plain silly - 8th / 9th / 17th & 18th.

Playing partner knew on site Pro and family - even with that he and staff were cold.

Bit out of the way but nice course, great value for the money!

Course is a bit remote to get to, however is well worth the trip - course is in good shape in spite of drought like conditions this past summer - friendly staff, nice driving range & practice green - difficulty of the course is determined by the tees selected so choose wisely - plan on returning again this fall
