Looks like you did not break shooting 100. Rate the Course not how you hacked it up. Take a lesson!!!!!

Beautifully maintained

We played the Classic Course at Otsego Resort in Gaylord. The course is in excellent condition! It was a pleasant surprise to play on such beautifully maintained fairways and greens. If there is not a course map on your cart, be sure to ask for one in the pro shop because it is easy to get confused with the back nine and front nine often side by side. That is a minor problem though and shouldn’t deter anyone from playing here. You won’t regret it!

One of my favorites

The Tribute is one of my favorite courses. Nice varied layout with some open, almost links styled holes, some tree lined, some dramatic elevation changes, etc. Overall the course was in great shape with the only negative being the rocks in the the traps.

Classic, Gaylord

Played course because of a fantastic deal. Would play number of other courses around Gaylord before playing again. Course layout keeps you guessing where the next hole is.

Great course with great views.

Absolutely great and would rate 5 stars instead of 4 if they actually cared to take care of their bunkers. Plenty of unranked bunkers and unkept bunkers with tons of rocks and large stones. Would come back again but not worth the 120 rate with the bunkers left the way they are.

It was a slow paced. They let groups of 6 and 9 play together. Nice people, though. They let me play through. Decent course. Nothing spectacular.

Great Gaylord course

A great course just out of town, with lots of elevation changes and superb greens. It’s well worth the daily rate for this tract.

Northern Michigan golf at its best

A challenging course that’s always in great condition and one of my favorites. I live north of Houston Texas so we don’t get very much in elevation change. The tribute has it all, fast greens, perfect fairways, and moderate rough. I play it once a year when I come north, always around the middle of July
