OSPREY RECREATION, BEST KNOWN FOR ITS COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS, HAS BECOME A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE GOLF INDUSTRY

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. The Otsego Club & Resort continues with on going renovations to the property that will certainly impress golfers. 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 now created a way for golfers to experience the quality golf and fine dining associated with many of the Osprey properties in one golf trip. The new Osprey Road Trip golf package is perfect for golfers to experience the best Michigan golf has to offer on the way up north and around the State.

The Osprey Road Trip package is a way for golfers to experience any 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.
