Osprey Recreation, best known for its commercial real estate holdings, has become a major player in the golf industry over the past few years by acquiring some of the top golf and resort destinations around Michigan. Osprey continues to expand its golf holdings in 2008 with its acquisition of the popular Otsego Club & Resort in Gaylord.

Adding Otsego Club & Resort to its portfolio, along with Manistee National, Black Forest, Medalist, and Ridgeview has given Osprey a total of eight golf courses making it one of Michigan’s largest golf operators.

Osprey continues to make an impact on many of its properties with upgrades and renovations to improve the overall golf experience. Lodge renovations at Otsego include relaxing leather furniture, plasma televisions, and new interior designs making the lodge a place where golfers will want to retire to after a round of golf.

In addition to the Otsego Club renovations, Osprey has performed upgrades and renovations to enhance the Manistee National Golf & Resort in Manistee Michigan, as well as Black Forest in Gaylord.

Osprey Golf has created a way for golfers to experience quality golf and fine dining associated with many of our Osprey properties.

The Osprey Road Trip package is a way for golfers to experience any or all of the Osprey Golf properties. The package features six rounds of golf at any of the Osprey courses, and three nights lodging.

For example, golfers can start out in Southern Michigan and play the Medalist in Marshall or Ridgeview in Kalamazoo on their way north to either Manistee National in Manistee or Otsego Club & Resort in Gaylord. At Manistee National, golfers can experience two fine layouts in Cutters Ridge and Canthooke Valley. Golfers heading to Otsego Club & Resort will find 72-holes of golf.

The Otsego Club & Resort is led by the nationally recognized Tribute course, designed by NBC golf commentator Gary Koch, and the player friendly Classic course. Just down the road from Otsego Club are Black Forest and Wilderness Valley. Black Forest, designed by Tom Doak - arguably the World’s most sought after golf course designer today - has been nationally ranked and very popular among golf aficionados.
