Utilizing the existing contours of the land to assure each shot a natural challenge, designer Rees Jones has distinguished Otter Creek as a championship golf course unique to all others. The opening hole on the North Course is a par 5 where the green is reachable in two shots. Your tee shot will influence your decision to either go for the green in two or lay up short of the small stream, which crosses the fairway about 25 yards short of the putting surface.
