Great
Still one of the top in Des Moines
I'd rate it with Glenoaks.
Awesome course
The course is in amazing condition and very visually pleasing. The staff offers to drive you to and from your car. Overall, I can't say enough about how great of a golf experience Otter Creek is.
Nice course
Nice course. Very busy, but after the first tee off, things went smoothly. Only problem was no beverage service on a hot day.
Course was very wet,
Course was very wet, and it was cart path ony. that sucked.
JT
Course was in great shape and greens rolled true.
Pass of play could have been better.
Soggy but fun.
Saved a few bucks with Golf Now and played a soggy round at Otter Creek in Ankeny. My group likes this links style course- open, curvy and well maintained. Nice clubhouse, friendly desk and starter, what more do you need.
great experience
This course was great had exceptional customer service. They came and took your clubs put them on cart for you. Shuttled you to and from your vehicles. My grandma was with us and she doesn't golf and usually we have to pay for a round of golf for her to just ride but they didn't charge us anything I thought great customer service. The course was in excellent shape. overall fabulous course we will be defiantly coming back.
Good value
Blue grass fairways but always kept in great shape. The course plays true and the greens are always cut pretty tight. It is usually pretty windy but 2 out of the 3 par 5's usually play downwind.
Windy Round
I played Otter Creek in a 20+ mph wind and it wa s a challenge. The course was in good shape with the greens being consistent and true. There were many two somes and a couple of singles but play was pretty smoothe. It is early in the season, but I still think there should be clean solution in the ball washers. Other than that it is a well maintained course I will return to for more rounds.
Nice track
We played this course for the first time in a while. Conditions were great. Greens were smooth and fairways were crisp and well manicured. Saturday afternoon/ evening and no beverage cart was disappointing. Bar staff was slow and not well versed in the drinks. Staff was friendly. Will be back. Would love to see twosomes combined to speed up pace of play. On a busy day combining should be expected and accepted.
Course has great layout and greens.
Fairly open on the teebox but carry and water in play 1/2 the time. Greens were in great shape with a subtle slope to them.
Nice Track
Good course, I'd recommend it. It was only mid-April and conditions were already very good. Greens rolling nicely. If it's windy, watch out. The course is open and the wind whips here. Maybe a tad overpriced, but a nice course that makes sense.
Excellent overall.
Great layout. Outstanding condition. Greens roll fast and true. Electric carts. Multiple sets of tees. Very fair.
great course
What a nice course. The only problem was the greens were recently aerated and that made it interesting, but it is a challenging and pretty course. The layout was fun but difficult as it was our first time here. I would recommend driving up on the blind shots and getting a look it will save you strokes
This was a great course
Greens where great shape. Wide open holes but still very challenging.
The Otter
Great course,very scenic,homes on the fairways adds to the enjoyment.
Well maintained
Staff was very friendly fairways were great shape not over challenging course but nice for what they have
great course
The course had about 4 inches of rain this week so the ball wasn't running. Carts had to stay on path but our 3 some still got done in 4 hours. Great course and practice area.
Looking for a great course?
Otter Creek is in fantastic shape. The tees and fairways are luscious and the greens are fast and true! Some fairly easy holes are balanced out with some tougher holes. When the wind blows, it is a good test of your game.
Great Course Layout
I really like this course. I usually play it once a month. We got a great deal on golfnow.com. The course has a great layout with a fun variety of holes. Even though it is a challenging course, you can find pars and birdies out there.
