Classic Golf Course at Otsego Club
Rating Snapshot
About
The Otsego Club offers two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Classic and the Tribute. The courses share a beautiful landscape abundant with water, trees, and wildlife but each course offers different challenges. Built in 1939, the Classic Course, as its name would imply, has a traditional layout that is straightforward with no hidden tricks or hazards. The golf course sprawls across scenic parkland that overlooks the nearby Sturgeon River Valley. Unlike some of the long and more demanding golf courses in the Gaylord area, the Classic Course plays a mild but enjoyable 6,267 yards from the back tees. The greens are fast and the player-friendly fairways are wide and welcoming to beginners. The course finishes with its signature hole, a par 4 where golfers will be hitting from one ski slope to another.

Exceptional Course in Northern Michigan
The fairways and greens on this beautiful course were in excellent condition- like a PGA course!
We had an awesome day playing here and the staff was very welcoming and friendly too.
Couples Golf
Nice round at the Classic. Straightforward, playable course for a intermediate skill senior couple. Plush fairways and fast (tough) greens.
Very nice course
The course is in great condition - we teed off early and hardly saw other golfers - finished in 3 hours
Nice course
Played this course last year, much better condition this year. Very peaceful and relaxing environment, would play again.
5-somes!
Why is this ok? We had a group of five AND a group of six out there with us slowing things and making it undesirable. No cart girl on a Holiday Saturday not that I could afford a drink anyway at these prices. The course was nice but the pace made us angry. The two-some behind us had it even harder.
Nice course
Good condition and very friendly staff. Very lady friendly if you use the front tees.
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!
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.
Bring a seat cushion
Course in great shape!! Friendly staff!!! Cart paths in rough shape. Great value for you $’s!!
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.
Challenging greens. Fun course
Enjoyed our round on the Classic. Course was in good shape. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend playing there.
Slow day
Good course for the money. Looking forward to the fall for a “more colorful’ round
