Otter Creek Golf Club sits in Otterville, a small community in southwestern Ontario's Oxford County, roughly midway between London and Hamilton. The course was designed by Dick Kirkpatrick, a Canadian architect whose work from the mid-to-late twentieth century includes several layouts across Ontario. The region's agricultural character and gently rolling terrain typical of southern Ontario farmland provide the setting for the routing. The design reflects the straightforward, parkland style common to many Canadian courses built during Kirkpatrick's era, with tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes that make use of the natural topography. Water features, including the creek referenced in the club's name, come into play on several holes and add strategic interest to the layout. The course serves both members and daily-fee players, functioning as a community club for the surrounding rural area. Otter Creek operates as a semi-private facility, offering memberships while also welcoming public play. The club provides a traditional golf experience without the formality of private-only clubs, making it accessible to golfers throughout Oxford County and visitors traveling through southwestern Ontario. The clubhouse and practice facilities support the course's role as a local gathering place for the game.
