This course located on the west side of Otsego Lake is very deserving of its name This championship layout has been constructed on one of the most scenic sites in northern Michigan The course was designed so golfers of different levels of ability could enjoy an exciting challenge amidst beautiful stands of oak maple birch and pine rolling terrain and some of the most visually outstanding wetlands in northern Michigan While you take in the landscape keep an eye out for the wildlife because during a round of golf you have a good chance of seeing deer wild turkey beaver heron and other water fowl The course is definitely not a fabricated or contrived layout instead the layout is eighteen challenging and visually exciting golf holes that were found and embellished not created in the natural environment The course is a perfect example showing that golf and wetlands can coexist in a harmonious manner Each hole fits perfectly into the existing terrain making the golf course look like it has been there for years The clubhouse is located on an elevated bluff over looking the scenic wetlands From the lounge area guests can watch golfers finishing their rounds on the very challenging and picturesque holes 9 and 18 Carts are mandatory on Friday Saturday and Sunday
