Overview
Playing along 1,100 acres in northern Michigan’s Sturgeon River Valley, the Tribute is one of two 18-hole layouts at Otsego Resort. Nearly every tee is elevated, creating numerous scenic tee shots down to the fairway. Perhaps the best view on the course is at the par-4 third, where standing on the tee you can see out for over 30 miles.

“Very scenic course that weaves through, up and down a heavily wooded area just east of Gaylord. A fair amount of elevation change with a couple dramatic downhill holes and several mildly uphill ones. Long par 5's and 3 long par 3's. Just over 7,000 yards from the back tees and 5,000 from the forward of 4 sets to tee boxes. Only a couple of blind tee or 2nd shots. The course condition is really good and the greens are soft and receptive but run quick a true. Fairways and landing areas are fairly wide."

Review
“The Tribute course is essentially a tour of the Sturgeon River Valley in Gaylord Michigan. The course itself features dramatic elevation changes off the tee and on approaches to green. There are only a handful of flat holes. Many of the tee shots feature vistas over the rolling hills. There is a premium on hitting fairways, as many of the fairways are smallish with trees or marsh on either side. However, with 6 sets of tees, if the golfer selects the appropriate tee, I still feel this is fair for the average golfer. Quite a few times though, a golfer may find it more appropriate to play less than driver off the tee to ensure their tee shot finds the fairway. The greens have a variety of slopes and contouring. Fairway aprons around many of the greens give the golfer a bevy of options on shots to play greenside. Each hole is quite distinctive and unique. The greens roll true and fairways are firm. From an aesthetics standpoint, this is a stunning golf course where the player feels alone in nature."
