Beautiful course but.........

We played as a twosome and teed off at 10:10. At hole #3 we caught up to the group in front of us. They were a sixsome (if that is even a word). They finished the hole and proceeded to 4. We thought that they would waive us through but no. We played half of 4 and jumped 5 to get in front of them at 6. At the turn I asked the pro shop if they allow 6 in a group. I was told occasionally and was told a ranger was moving them along. There was no ranger to be seen our whole round. We played here 3 years ago and had the same situation. Golfers beware. Beautiful course though.

Otsego-The Classic

Thoroughly enjoyed the course. The staff were very friendly. I was disappointed as the only washrooms available were in the clubhouse. Very inconvenient as it was a hot day and we trying to stay hydrated.

Great layout.....bunkers need work!

Very interesting and challenging layout. Lots of elevation changes and mostly uneven lies. Practice area is not up to par for a place that bills itself as one of the top golf destinations in Michigan. Course was in very nice shape except for the bunkers! Many of them had very little sand and lots of large rocks..... unacceptable for a course that charges these prices. Everyone was friendly. The resort itself is old looking and could use some maintenance. We were thankful that we did not stay at the resort.

The course is a great natural layout.

What a beautiful course. The designers did an amazing job of using the natural layout of this course. It is absolutely stunning. I can’t believe that it is not at the top of most best courses lists.

Location is close to home.

Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Cart paths could use some attention.

Fun to play early season

Always a good day at the Otsego Classic. Even though the ice storm damage was evident, the course was overall in good shape! A good warm up for summer days to come!

Last minute booking

I booked this last minute. The staff was very friendly. The course was in pretty good condition considering the horrible ice storm the area suffered just a few months ago. Although there was still some obvious damage to trees and power poles, the course itself was beautiful.

Great place for mom and you to play

This course is moderately difficult with only a few challenging holes. Mom had no issue with most of the course and did well on the valley holes once she got it in her mind that it was playable. This is difficult enough to keep the regular golfer happy and easy enough for our mom to play and be happy.
