Great course

Super fun course with a very fair challenging layout. Hopefully you can play in the windy because this place is always windy. In great shape and a great value!

Excellent course, although some hidden trouble. Make sure to hon take a look to where you should hit your next shot on some of the par 4s where the fairway is hidden from view and on all the par 5 s.

Otter Creek in the spring

Course was in good shape, haven’t had the best spring this year. Greens had healed nicely from aeration. Not as fast as usual, but still decent. Fairways were tight, again due to spring weather. Still good. Well worth the price we paid. Friendly staff, clean carts, range was in good shape.

Nice course

The course was in good condition taking into account it was April 9th. I would love to come back and play it again in its usual summer conditions.

Walked

PACE: There was a 6-some ahead of us. SIX-SOME! Not okay. Never saw a ranger address this, and you pass by the clubhouse several times starting and playing the back 9.

CONDITIONS: Tees, greens, and fairways all seemed fine. The 2 guys I was paired with said the greens were running slower than usual, but they seemed fine.

STAFF: Got me paid and out to the first tee. The starter did help get me out earlier than my scheduled tee time because of an opening on the tee sheet. Thank you!

VALUE: Good value... but a 6-some!

LAYOUT: All 18 holes meander thru what appears to be a very nice community (judging by the houses surrounding the course). Several blind shots (2nd shots on #3 and #5, in particular) and plenty of water and bunkers to keep you honest. Very walkable.

Would've given this a 4-start overall rating... but a 6-some! Not okay.

Challenging Course

I've played this course a few times this year and it's always in great shape. The fareways, rough, greens are immaculate. It's a challenging course, I highly recommend it. The only complaint I have is that there wasn't a beer cart on the course today.
