OUR STORY
We love the team that has come together for Otto's at the Sullivan County Golf Club. Local hospitality and development team, led by Sims Foster of Foster Supply Hospitality and Chris Monello of Western Sullivan Properties, were connected with renowned golf writer Tom Coyne to completely redesign the course and the experience at our beautiful 100-year old Catskills golf club. There are more exciting developments to come and we hope to make Otto's a place that will be a Catskills clubhouse destination for those who golf and those who don't.
Otto’s pays homage to German-born Otto Hillig, who moved to New York City in 1874 when he was 16. He was a bartender and a trolley car operator before heading north to Sullivan County where he eventually opened a portrait studio on Main Street in Liberty - now home to Liberty Press. He is considered to be one of the greatest photographers in Catskills history.
He gained more notoriety as one of the first owners of an automobile in the entire county and as an internationally famous passenger on a two-man transatlantic flight from the U.S. to Europe. The flight took off from the original 8th fairway at Sullivan County Golf Club in June 1931 with aviator friend Holger Hoiriis, pictured here with Hillig.
