The Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club - South Course

As the landscape has changed for upscale non-private golf in recent years, The Reserve Vineyards seems to be as relevant as ever. They do this by keeping one of their courses private for half the month, while letting the public play the other. This means accessible golf and the feeling of having gotten on a private club (including the trappings like gracious service and pristine conditioning). Neat model.

The South Course has adapted to changing times, too. Original architect John Fought's removal of several bunkers, in favor of increased fairway, makes the course more playable but still plenty. Other than a few pedestrian holes on the back nine (12-15), the layout is superb, too. Well worth a play if you're in the Portland area.

Could not ask for a better round On a superb track in great shape. Not to mention the price you can’t pass up.

They have 2 great courses here. The south course has hosted seniors tour majors events and limited field PGA events as well as top amateur events. The course conditions are first rate and the staff is outstanding. Last year they completed a 1.5 million dollar renovation on south. I've played a number of top 100 courses here and in Europe and the south course stacks up very well.

I’ve played the north course a few times, and this was my first time on the south side. For the middle of November, the course was still so well taken care of. Greens were in great shape. Super impressed with the condition of the course.cant wait to get out there again.

Never gotten to play the south side of this course, usually reserved for members. It was awesome and even with a frost delay, it was in amazing shape and a great challenging course!

The revision on the South course took out many bunkers. There are still many you can end up in. I would brush up on your bunker play if you are going to play this great course.

This is one of my favorite courses in the metro area. Great layout, championship quality.

Terrific course. Make sure you have an up to date map/layout. There were a few hazards not appearing on the Golf Now app. Lot of big sand traps but friendly conditions overall. Wonderful staff in every department.

Very much looking forward to keeping this course as a regular destination.

Beautiful track! Easy to walk. You will use every club in your bag. There are some monster holes on this course. Easy to play and forgiving. Challenging as well. A fun test for all handicaps. I look forward to playing the north course. Great bent grass fairways that thud with ball and or club impact. White sand bunkers. Thick rough. Beautiful water hazards. Fairways like fluffy carpet, freshly vacuumed. Staff friendly and welcoming to everyone, (Members and non members.). Heat practice facility as well. Will be back to play north with a couple members. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a fun round, surrounded by a gorgeous setting with impeccable standards.

The south course, in my opinion, is one of the best courses in Portland. Today, the weather was perfect, the course was in mint condition, and we finished in under 4 hours! What a great "hot deal" at $45!

With conservative shot/club selection this course is straight forward. In great condition.

Dang near flawless course and was empty for twilight

I've played the North course previously and now I've played the South course. Both courses are always in great shape and perfect conditions. Will play here again when I get a chance.

The greens were running 10 and the traps were well groomed and real fine sand. The only issue we had a player from Hong Kong who rented clubs when we got to the first green he noticed he had a left handed putter. He called the club house to get the correct putter and had to drive back to the club house to get the putter they did not offer to bring out the correct putter could have been better service from the staff.

The golf course was in excellent condition. The fairways were well-maintained, the greens ran smooth and true and the clubhouse was in immaculate condition. The course does not play long however you do have to be careful because often times you do not have a level lie and you will need to know how to play the ball below or above your feet.When the wind comes up playing the ball on approach shots can be tricky. On balance it’s a wonderful golf course and I would recommend playing it to anyone.
