Amazing historic course and in really great shape!!

I play at this course at least a few times a year as it isn’t the longest course in the US but it will keep you honest. Actually it’s history is worth the trip on its own. The course has lots of trees, and tight fairways so you have to play attention to how your playing but the course won’t punish you as the greens roll true and they are big enough for some forgiveness during the day. My confidence really needed Ottawa Park today and I would recommend this course to anyone.

On top of that the team is top notch. For a public course i’m not sure that I’ve ever had a better experience. Thank you for your hospitality!!

First time

If you want a pace of play that is good, might want to consider another course. Lots of hackers out there so it’s a true municipal course. Greens are good but fairways need some help in spots.

League rudeness

Was great until the back 9 and then we ran into the league players all trying to get in their free 9 holes before the league starts. One guy behind us was extremely rude. Walked up to us While we were on the tee box, beer in hand, and asked what are we doing? Said he didn’t know if we were playing 13 or 1. Well bud we can read. He was just completely rude about it and was so concerned about getting his free 9 holes of warm up golf in before the tournament started. And EVERYONE from that league went to the back 9 causing a huge bottleneck for people making the turn. I don’t know why the clubhouse would allow that. Just a bad experience in general. Don’t go on thursdays or you’ll have to deal with the privileged league players.

Thank you for visiting Ottawa Park Golf Course. We apologize for any unpleasant interaction you may have had with a golf league we host. At Ottawa Park, we pride ourselves in providing first-class service and treat everybody with pride and respect. We do our best to manage turn times so these instances do not occur by allocating two hours and twenty minutes for every nine-holes played. We will do better in the future to ensure a positive experience to ensure an appropriate pace of play for all who are enjoying a day on the golf course. Note – There are many advantages to hosting your golf league at Ottawa Park. However, unpaid rounds or free holes prior to league play is not one of those advantages.

You can feel Toledo history

As a municipal course (priced accordingly) it is well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful,. Obviously during this COVID crisis the amenities are minimal.And my wife and I just love the course. As the original designer said back in 1899, "Nature just meant for there to be a golf course here" with the big elevation changes, the hills and valleys, makes it feel like there are 3 different courses within its 18 holes.

Terrible pace of play

I went as a single and they allowed a 8 person group go together that wasn't letting anyone through along with the group of 4 that were behind them. I skipped 3 holes to get back on track and ahead of them and then ran into another group of 3 older gentlemen that wouldn't let me pass even when I was waiting on them.

Good short course

I like to play Ottawa Here and there, because even if you aren’t a long distance hitter, you still have plenty of opportunities to hit greens in regulation. (Even on a wayward shot)

The only downside with my latest experience is that if you don’t play the course somewhat regularly, you’re kind of wondering which way the next tee box is. It’s pretty terribly marked and there are some spots where the cart path goes 3 different ways. Lol Even a few cheap laminated staked signs would be a solid addition in my opinion.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We have projects underway to recover the course conditions and hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future.

History and value

The staff was great, very helpful and supportive. We enjoyed the time we were on the course. The clubhouse was nice and clean. It was fun playing this course with my son. This is an old course with lots of history. It is also awesome that it feels so secluded being right in the middle of the city. Overall, I would ould recommend this course as a great value and time.
