Otter Creek Golf Club - Otterville

The Otter Creek Golf Club is located in the rural farm community of Otterville, Ontario, a short 20 minute drive from Woodstock. Designed by renowned Canadian golf course architect Dick Kirkpatrick, Otter Creek opened its doors to the public on July 1, 2008. Encompassing 300 acres and carved through the wooded valleys of Otter, Cedar and Spittler Creeks, the golf course meanders cleverly over former farmer's fields and tobacco lands. Measuring just over 7,100 yards and featuring six sets of tees, Otter Creek was designed to challenge players of all skill levels. From the forward tees, minimal forced carries make the golf course extremely playable for those new to the game. Construction of our rustic 5,000-square-foot clubhouse and 1,500-square-foot patio was completed in 2010. Open to the public, both the clubhouse and patio offer stunning views of the 18th hole as it carves through the wooded creek valley. Otter Creek is the ideal venue for any tournament or corporate event. To book a tee time, call us at 519-879-9800. ×
