One of if not the best public course in the Portland, OR area. Fair pricing and very good pricing if one is a regular and has a "Farm Card". Tough but forgiving. It has very good fairways and greens. The owners spare no expense. They aerate and top dress fairways and greens regularly, which can be inconvenient but in the long run makes this course what it is.
They have many corporate events during the week in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Most weekdays times are available before 8:30 AM and later in the afternoon. Recommend that people try to get off as early as possible in the AM.
The traps need some work but I have been told that it involves a major construction project they have not tackled yet.
Have been a regular for 14 years. Don't consider playing other courses unless I have to.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Price, Pace of Play, Food/ Bar facilities, Difficulty, Ambiance, Staff, Pro Shop, Layout, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
