Origins

Secondary course references associate Otter Valley with a 1973 Mark Johnson design. Golf Digest currently credits Johnson as designer, while another independent reference specifically lists Mark Johnson and 1973 together. The club's own website does not publish a historical account confirming those details, so they remain secondary-source history rather than a primary club record.

Did You Know?
The club's longest published white-tee hole is the 533-yard par-5 seventh, while the shortest is the 110-yard par-3 ninth.

Design Philosophy

The official club description emphasizes the course's undulating greens, which supply much of the challenge on a relatively compact nine-hole layout.
