Otter Creek Golf Course

The golf was in excellent conditions despite early rain. Water cooler was available on the course since there was no cart person around to provide us drinks. I was happy that the course had markings to direct us to the next tee box.

Very good layout, helpful staff. We were early and let us go ahead since there was opening. Nearly private club level of experience.

Full disclosure: I am an Ankeny resident for 39 years. This course is always well maintained and the greens tend to be on the speedier side, which I personally like. There is a North and South driving range and 30 balls costs only $3. There is a practice chipping green with a large sand trap and two practice putting greens. GPS in the carts is nice. We played on a Sunday afternoon in just less than 4 hours. The course has 4 tees on each hole to accomodate golfers of various skill levels. I use the senior tees which plays to just over 6,100 yds. I really enjoy playing Otter Creek!

I really enjoyed playing here.and hope to someday play here again. My only complaint is the noise coming from the interstate.

There are always things that could be better but for the most part no complaints about this track.

Play wasn't great, but the course was. Really good job on the conditions, and it wasnt overly busy so we could take our time

We ate at the bar and grill beforehand and the food was very good a the prices we very reasonable All the staff we encountered we extremely friendly and glad to help. The driving range is in great shape and they have really grass, not the artificial turf junk most courses have. The course was in great shape and very picturesque. There were hills and lots of water, challenging but not so hard that is wasn't fun. If I lived in Des Moines, this would be my course of choice.

Course is in good condition, pace of play was good, was able to tee off at scheduled time. I joined up with a twosome and had a good time. The only problem was the wind, but that is not the fault of the golf course.

First time playing since course redone from parkland to links course. Excellent job. Great practice facilities too.

Still one of the top in Des Moines

I'd rate it with Glenoaks.

The course is in amazing condition and very visually pleasing. The staff offers to drive you to and from your car. Overall, I can't say enough about how great of a golf experience Otter Creek is.

Nice course. Very busy, but after the first tee off, things went smoothly. Only problem was no beverage service on a hot day.

Course was very wet, and it was cart path ony. that sucked.

Course was in great shape and greens rolled true.

Pass of play could have been better.

Saved a few bucks with Golf Now and played a soggy round at Otter Creek in Ankeny. My group likes this links style course- open, curvy and well maintained. Nice clubhouse, friendly desk and starter, what more do you need.

This course was great had exceptional customer service. They came and took your clubs put them on cart for you. Shuttled you to and from your vehicles. My grandma was with us and she doesn't golf and usually we have to pay for a round of golf for her to just ride but they didn't charge us anything I thought great customer service. The course was in excellent shape. overall fabulous course we will be defiantly coming back.

Blue grass fairways but always kept in great shape. The course plays true and the greens are always cut pretty tight. It is usually pretty windy but 2 out of the 3 par 5's usually play downwind.
