Lynx GC, Otsego, MI

Bought this as a groupgolfer not realizing Otsego was near Kalamazoo, 2 1/2 hours away! But it was a lucky mistake.  This is an older course that was "remodeled" in 2014.  There's a lot of trees but it seems easy to find your ball. There's a lot of sand bunkers in front of greens but they're easy to avoid. There are six holes along the Kalamazoo river but it's easy to avoid the water. The course is not an easy course but it's very enjoyable, especially from the women's tees. The first hole has a large drop off to the green as does the tenth. The par 3s are challenging as are the par 5s, but par is certainly doable. There are some really nice elevations. The greens and tee boxes were in nice shape but they were in the process of aerating the fairways so that was kind of hard. It was mid October and had rained nonstop the day before but we still enjoyed the course. The clubhouse is located next to the 18th green with a really nice balcony. There was no cart girl or bathrooms (other than port-a-potties). We ate at the clubhouse later and had a great hamburger and a great view.  They have a lot of events at the clubhouse, weddings, class reunions, comedy shows, even fall color tour events every weekend! Everyone at the course, from the guy we made the tee time with to the groundskeepers, was very nice. We will definitely go again!
