No Maintenance

Management has let this place go. The bunkers haven't been touched all year, conditions were considerably worse than previous years, and to top it all off, they aerated the greens WHILE I was playing. They didn't even have them top dressed or rolled afterwards. If I wanted to play Plinko, I would have gone on the Price is Right.

Inexcusable Bunkers

The course is always nice to play and in good condition, EXCEPT the bunkers which have not only weeds for 80% coverage but actual small bushes and trees taking root. Either clean the out once a month (vs not in the last 2 YEARS) or grow them over into playable grass bunkers, not penalty traps as they are now

Great course, but....

I have been playing this course for the past ten yrs. I love it, everything about except for.. The Bunkers.!!
Since 2020, when covid first started until now. This course is too nice not to have the bunkers looking and playing their best...
Please do something about this for next year and moving forward...
Worth the drive, a must play for everyone..

Everything I read was true

Yes the bunker had been allowed to go weeds but changes coming next year. Course however is challenging and the tee details are accurate. Would highly recommend.

Smells bad

Beautiful course, great day, only ruined by unbearable smell of Pig crap. It was so
Bad, my wife because I’ll. Unlike cow Manure, pig waste is mixed with water, and sprayed, become air borne, so, people, guest and staff are likely to inhale raw pig waste.

Walked

Excellent Course

I really love this course. It's well layed out and challenging. But very well maintained.
This year they stopped maintaining bunkers as they have a plan for next year to remove some and redo others. So the bunkers weren't good when we played.
It's a tough course to walk and not a lot of people walk it. Lots of hills.

Slow,slow

I play this course once a year now. Used tomplay it 3-4 times a year.
Always slow. rangers riding around doing NOTHING.
Why are owners catering to hackers instead of dedicated golfers who probably would golf here more often if they could finish in 4 hours

This course had such promise

Looks like the ownership at Otter Creek has really let this place suffer. The greens, tee boxes and fairways were in decent shape but the bunkers are in despicable condition. Every bunker on the course is overrun with weeds. Sad. Aside from a few really dumb holes (9, 12, 18), it's a fairly decent layout. I won't be back at the rate they are charging.

Bunkers need love

The pro shop indicated that the bunkers have not been maintained all year due to staffing issues...and it showed. Bunkers are borderline unplayable. Too bad, such a nice course that is being sullied by this. The rest of the course is in excellent shape, so long as players take a little care to fix ball marks and divots. I spent more time fixing ball marks than putting!
