This is a Robert Trent Jones course and is one of the better public tracks. Of all the city owned courses in the Portland area, it is my favorite. It is well-kept and difficult with a lot of risk-reward shot-making holes. A great walking course. The racetrack and freight train noise can be a bother, as can the lack of good drainage in the winter months (but what would you expect...this is Oregon). I hear there's a real clubhouse being planned and that would help ambiance a lot.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
