Welcome to Otter Creek Golf Course

The Golf Course

Otter Creek Golf Course features a links style course with multiple sets of tees at each hole, 44 bunkers, 17 ponds, and an abundance of tall grasses and mounding. Otter Creek was originally built in 1982 as a park style golf course and underwent a complete renovation of both the golf course and clubhouse in 2008, re-opening in 2009.

The golf course is a great test of your game while still being fun and playable, a combination that makes it a favorite of Iowa golfers. Otter Creeks’ practice facility is second to none with a double ended range tee , two practice putting greens, and a pitching green with bunker to work on your short game. Otter Creek is owned by the City of Ankeny and is open to the public.
