Review

“The course gets interesting as one moves beyond the first six holes which feel crammed into a small space. After that, the holes are more varied in terms of length, dog-legs and up/down terrain. The last three holes hug the Willamette River and make for both golf enjoyment and sheer beauty. The course is not very long but the greens are very challenging with two (the third and the eleventh) bordering on the ridiculous."

“One of Portland's old premier private clubs. The course and clubhouse have a classy traditional atmosphere that is rarely found in the northwest. The course has some unique design features including two finishing par 5's that run along the Willamette river. The huge white clubhouse also sits above the river. The greens are fast and several have slopes that are perhaps too severe. A first class place from top to bottom."
