Good course. Can get crowded quick
Enjoyed playing 18. Got caught behind a slow foursome which slowed us down and started to back up behind us as a result but out with our control.
Would play again, course well kept, challenging, and friendly staff all round.
Starter behavior baffling
I was in Des Moines for an out of town wedding and did some research for a good course to play. With just four hours I got their early and noticed that there were two twosomes ahead of my put-together foursome and asked if I could go with one of those groups to maximize my time and get to the wedding. The starter was a jerk and would not let that happening saying that the course was full today and changes could not be made. He really was an angry older man. I chose not to push it. On the other hand, the pro shop gave me a senior discount. I didnt even know that was available.
The course was really nice
The course was in great condition but due to the current rainy conditions it was cart path only which made the pace of play really slow. It took us 3 player group 5 hours which is unacceptable. Not our fault, players in front of us held us up.
I was a single on the course. the threesome in front of me let me play through. I didn't catch the next threesome until the 8th hole. then I waited on every shot the rest of the round. threesome, threesome, twosome, threesome and a foursome were the groups in front of me. the weather was good so it did not bother me. a great day to be on the course.
geese
Geese droppings are deplorable. Gotta be a health hazard Every hole! Every green
Pace of play
Pace of play was slow. I am not a pro by any means, but We caught a group that was playing slow. They didn't let us play through. The ranger was not out to make people accountable on the pace of play. Kinda ruined the afternoon having to wait on slow play. Wonderful course, greens were nice, rough is long.
Enjoyable course
Played here on a Friday using a 'Hot Deal' to save some money. Course was in very good shape, but pace of play was not great. A five-some ahead of us slowed play quite a bit. But this is an enjoyable course for all.
Super Spring Condition
We played in under 4 hrs. and had a great time. The course was in mid summer condition, just immaculate. We hope to play it again soon
variety of holes makes this fun
Early season so it was 90 degree and cart path only on a few holes. I was Okay with this as course was a little wet when we started. Fair amount of water holes to make it challenging. Fairways were in good shape and greens rolled perfectly.
Nice Course
Very nice establishment. The gentleman that checked me in was super friendly as was the staff at the restaurant. The course is really nice. Lots of water and sand and I found them both!! The only complaint I have is coming off the 14th hole we couldn’t find the 15th hole. We actually went back because we thought we skipped holes and just came off the 18th. A sign coming off the 14th pointing in the direction of the 15th would be helpful. We will definately be back
Ottervalley Golf Course
The course is in good shape and it is a fun course to play.
Nice midweek game
Really quiet in the middle of the week. I’ve played on weekends here and it is busy. Fairways are a little narrower than average, but not so bad to be entirely unforgiving to my slice. A couple unique holes so you don’t forget the course. Plenty of drinking water around unlike other nearby courses and I think the drink cart passed me four times. Just avoid the geese!
Every hole was unique
This course was very challenging, but rewarded a good shot. Each hole had it's own character.
The staff was very helpful and engaging
Very enjoyable.
We will play again.
Otter Creek
Course is in good condition for this time of year and especially for the cold weather we are having.
Top notch
Layout is great, course is well kept, and always enjoy ourselves here. Thanks for the great round!
There is a sign pointing to the 15th hole ... but it is low to the ground. We have talked about making it higher ... I will bring it up again.
