Great Course

It has been a while since I played Otter Creek but it is still a great course with a very nice mix of holes. The people that play here love golf! The trip from Cincinnati is not a bad drive. The price is more than the average course but it it better than the average course.

Fantastic Golf Course

Otter Creek is a fantastic golf course. Five sets of tees, amazing fairways, excellent greens, and the wayward shot in the trap finds a bunker with consistent sand. Have not played here in years but very glad I took the opportunity to play this great course. A must play for the intermediate or advanced golfer.

Excellent except for a fivesome on a Saturday.

This course was excellent with the exception of a fivesome essentially ruining our round box id their refusal to let people play through. I can understand a fivesome on a weekday or out of season, but for a Saturday in the summer it is ridiculous. I hate to say it but of course it was older gentlemen (which seems to be the case with 5somes more often then not). Not sure if I will be back because of this.

One of the best courses in Indiana

Robert Trent Jones course, beautiful layout with mature setting and no homes on the course. Course was impeccably manicured. 7200 yards from the tour tees and nearly every fairway bunker comes into play making accuracy off the tee very important. Also, excellent practice area for short game and bunker play. Definitely want to get here again soon.

had to pause between balls on 4 holes because of mowing crews.

We play 8-10 times a month at different courses, thought this one could be a regular for us. We weren't warned about mowing crews hauling your play. Especially on a Sunday. Really disappointed especially since it cost so much. I would expect this out of a cheaper course. Everything else was ok.

course was in great shape. Most difficult part was strategic placement of pin locations, almost to the point of being too difficult.

A great course with lots of variety. Each nine has its challenges and the par 3's on the east nine were nicely kept and very unique.

Great Experience

Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The course was in excellent condition for a mid-April round of golf. I'm from out of town and glad we picked this course to play on a little trip from Chicago to Cincinnati to watch a ballgame.

Always fun and challenging!

Otter Creek has a great layout and is beautiful. Unfortunately due to lots of rain it was cart path only. It is a big course and that meant lots of walking and grabbing extra clubs to carry when guessing distance left on each hole. Otter could use some yardage markers visible from above ground to help with this, but all they have are the corcular markers in the ground, that you have to walk to and read. Other than that, wonderful day on a great course!

Otter Creek

This is a gorgeous course with marvelous fairways and challenging greens. The pace of play was remarkable since horrendous gusts of wind pulled the leaves they had just blown off back on the fairways. We lost a good number of balls for that reason. We hope to try the course again on a milder day. (gusts were over 35 mph).

The course lived up to expectations in every way. Layout, challenge, tee boxes, and it was absolutely gorgeous with all the fall colors. The pace of play was excellent for a Saturday afternoon, and with a little course knowledge I'm sure I can improve upon my score next time. We will definitely be back.

North/East

What a day! Absolute beautiful weather and an absolutely beautiful course. Can't get much better. Played with three great guys and really enjoyed the day. The north 9 is a very playable and a good score is very possible from the fairway. The east 9 has a links feel on the majority of the holes which was an interesting change of pace. Definitely more challenging than the north. The greens were very consistent all the way around. My only negative for the course would be the regular $79 price tag. Luckily I got a hot tee time for $25 and for that it was a steal! I hope to get to play it again if that rate or something close to it is available.

Pristine Conditions

We played the North and West 9s. Fairways were in excellent shape. Greens were fast and true. There were a few burnt spots on some greens but not consequential. It's a must play. We will go back and make sure to play the East 9.

Great golf in Indiana

Course was in immaculate shape, which is almost always the case here. An older course so the facilities aren't lavish, but the course is a real gem for Indy.
