This was a great course
Greens where great shape. Wide open holes but still very challenging.
The Otter
Great course,very scenic,homes on the fairways adds to the enjoyment.
Well maintained
Staff was very friendly fairways were great shape not over challenging course but nice for what they have
great course
The course had about 4 inches of rain this week so the ball wasn't running. Carts had to stay on path but our 3 some still got done in 4 hours. Great course and practice area.
Looking for a great course?
Otter Creek is in fantastic shape. The tees and fairways are luscious and the greens are fast and true! Some fairly easy holes are balanced out with some tougher holes. When the wind blows, it is a good test of your game.
Great Course Layout
I really like this course. I usually play it once a month. We got a great deal on golfnow.com. The course has a great layout with a fun variety of holes. Even though it is a challenging course, you can find pars and birdies out there.
Great Value
Third time playing this course--using the Golf Now App made this a steal. $30 for 18 w. a cart after 3PM. The course was in great condition and we played very quickly (we were originally a two-some but ended up joining another two some because we kept catching-up with them). Our round was under four hours and it did not feel quick. Course would be fairly easy to walk as well. Only complaint I have is there wasn't a starter/marshal at the first tee, so we were not sure who to check-in with. Will absolutely play here again.
Great course, less than great staff
Beautiful course. In great shape, pretty tough course but not unfair or so tough that its not fun. Just about right. Could lose a few balls in all of the tall native grasses areas that line much of the rough. Did have issues with pro shop and bar staff. Friendly enough but some pretty ridiculous screw-ups. Guy in pro shop suggested a very nice way to make up for screw up and then blew it off and let me hanging. Bar staff gal was completely incompetent. Course great, value w/GolfNow app was good, staff needs work.
Otter Creek
Fun course. Need to be in the Fairways. Well maintained. Beautifully groomed.
Fun course and challenging
The only issue i see with the course is the number of ball marks on the greens. People are not repairing their marks and it impacts the putting. Other than that, the course is in great shape and well maintained.
Great Value
This is a great course! Senior rates start at 55 and the discount is significant. I will play here every week. Very well maintained.
Book it w/ John Urness
Course was in great shape....staff always friendly.....ready to challenge the golf legends of Beard and Urness.
Fun
it was a beautiful day and the course was in excellent shape. The only bad thing was my driving.
I would highly recommend the course.
Golfer
Excellent golf facilities and a staff that matches it.Had a great time as I always do when I have played there and would recommend it to anyone!!!
Good Course
First time playing since the renovations, I was really impressed with the layout, clubhouse, and staff. Course conditions were a little suspect in some areas as they haven't recovered from the winter but I anticipate they will be fine once the weather warms up.
Great golf at a great price
This was my first time playing this course and I was a bit skeptical due to the drive.....after my experience, I'd be willing to drive hours to play again.
The course was in great shape and every staff member was extremely friendly.
The golf shop has a great selection and the Tin Cup grill had everything needed and more.
I would highly recommend this course to any golfer...beginner, intermediate, advanced, senior, etc... Several sets of tees will allow you to have a great round no matter what your skill level!
Early season round
First round for me this year. As the weather improves the course will green up and the greens will speed up. Greens were in good condition given that there was snow on the ground last week. Greens were slow, but I know that will improve.
A fun course
I recently played Otter Creek while I was in town for a wedding. I was happy that I picked Otter Creek over other courses in the area. The course layout is very fun. It's fun to play a links style course that can punish wayward shots. The par 3 with the elevated tee is also a very fun challenge. The course was in good shape, and nicer than a lot of Iowa courses I have played in the past. The staff couldn't of been more friendly. I will definitely play here again the next time I am in town.
Awesome Course!!
This is an awesome course that is kept in prestine shape! One of my favorite public courses in Central Iowa!
Course is great
Wind was blowing up to 30 mph making the course very difficult, but we still had a great time.
