Otter Creek Golf Club

What Otter Creek Golf Club does

Otter Creek Golf Club is a privately-held, public-access 18-hole championship golf course located in Otterville, Ontario, approximately 20 minutes from Woodstock. The course was designed by Canadian architect Dick Kirkpatrick and opened on July 1, 2008, spanning 300 acres carved through the wooded valleys of Otter, Cedar, and Spittler Creeks. Measuring just over 7,100 yards with six sets of tees, the layout combines a links-style opening with a valley parkland interior, accommodating players from beginners to championship-level competitors. The ancillary facilities include a 5,000-square-foot rustic clubhouse and 1,500-square-foot patio completed in 2010, both overlooking the 18th hole, as well as a dedicated practice facility with bent grass tee deck, target greens, chipping and putting areas, and a renovated bunker.

The business operates on a multi-stream revenue model: green fees (9-hole and 18-hole, weekday, with cart rental surcharges), bundled 2026 Round Packages, golf tournament and corporate event hosting, wedding and social event hosting (up to 180 guests outdoor ceremony, 160 indoor banquet), and on-site food and beverage under a dedicated Director of F&B. Tee time reservations are handled by phone through the Pro Shop (519-879-9800), with no online booking platform, mobile app, or membership program. The club serves individual golfers, corporate groups, tournament organizers (including Golf Ontario, which awarded hosting of the 104th Ontario Men's Amateur, July 6th-9th), wedding couples, and junior golf programs within a regional southwestern Ontario catchment reachable from London, Kitchener, and Brantford.

The organization is lean, with 11-50 employees structured around five department heads: Randy Booker (Director of Turf), Lindsay Farkas (Director of Events), Taylor Declercq (Director of Golf Operations), Sommer Hayes (Director of Food & Beverage), and Erin Lenaers (Accounting). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds or institutional investors are present, and no parent company has been identified. The property is an independent, family or privately-held operation with no digital transformation, AI, or technology-platform layer evident in the available data.
