Pretty Good Course -- but SLOW

For a public owned course, this is in very good condition. The power carts are relatively new and in good shape and well cared for. Greens were a bit slow for my taste, but well conditioned and fair. I like having reachable par 4's (under 350 yards) which allows for pars for a 20+ handicapper.

The main problem with this course today -- and historically -- is the very slow play and lack of attention to resolving it by on course management. There is no excuse for allowing a single on the course at ANY time, and slow foursomes who show no understanding of "Ready Golf" should be subject to training, assistance, or some way of getting them to understand that nine holes should NEVER take 2.5 hours for such a short layout.

A Fun, Fairly Open Course

Played here for the first time and walked the course which is a decent workout with all of the hills. It is a very enjoyable course and was in great shape except for the bunkers which didn't look like they'd been tended in quite some time. The pace of play was generally good, however the combination of holes 5-6 back-to-back led to some major traffic jams because 5 being a par 3 you naturally have some difficulty and then 6 is a driveable par 4 so it plays like another par 3. I would say this was the only downside of the course. Definitely plan on returning because it was interesting with all of the elevation changes, not too hard since the fairways were open but rather fun because you can score here and feel like you're maybe improving as a golfer. Recommend.

Glendoveer East

Course was in excellent condition, including the greens (although they do keep the greens high/slower). Played in 3 hours and included playing thru a slow foursome (kudos to the foursome for allowing us to play thru).

Starter said I had to start 10 min early without any warning. Didn't appreciate that. Round was played in 3 hours. That was awesome.

Glendoveer East

Course was in good shape and pretty well manicured. Only possible 'complaint' is that greens were a little slower than most courses I've played in the Portland area. Overall a very playable course.

due ti the rainy conditions we had to stop after 7 holes, what made it even tougher was the lack of green maintance. littered with tree debri.

So many hills!

If you walk like myself, be prepared, lots of steep hills to climb. Gorgeous course, in great shape, with super quick greens.

SOGGY & SLOPPY when I played!

Need to reflect the time of year in my review.

The course was so wet it was bordering on not playable. In spots on the fairway so soft that I sank below shoe height.

Had a course Aeration Alert but wasn't true, actually was No Carts allowed.

A very challenging walk with a few extreme inclines.

I did walk it but was exhausting.

Greens were mostly in good condition.

Lost 3 balls in the fairway because they plugged.

To be honest think in the right time of year would be an great course to play so I Recommend in the dryer season but during the Wet season lot of better choices in the area.

Excellent round after all the rain

After all the rain in Portland, very nice sunny day finally came and the course was in relatively excellent shape. Pace of the play was very good without much waiting at almost every hole. This course is a bit challenging for walkers as it has some ups and downs, but overall it is a good place for a round of gold.

First off

It was cold, and the greens were icy. We chose to be out in early February, and at 7:30, so we got what we expected. Fun round, and since we were first off the tee, we finished in just over 3 hours. Fun times!

Windy Sunday in Janaury

Was over 50 degrees but wasn’t warm. I always like playing Glendoverr East. There are some shorter holes that are tricky. The fairways are lined with giant teees. Typical winter conditions but a beautiful day at Glendo East !

Great fall round

I played Glendoveer East on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The course was in great sheet given the fact that it had been raining fairly consistently for the two weeks prior. Only one green had a temporary and I was able to play the round in just under three hours. Overall, I thought the experience was excellent.

Grew up playing on this course 40+ years ago.

Always brings back great memories of the many rounds learning how to play at this course.. Recently returned to playing here the last couple of years. Can't ever remember it being in such good condition in late summer. The last 3-4 rounds played here have seen what seem to be very tame coyotes on different areas of the course in the middle of the day.

Agreed. Saw a coyote sunning himself on 17th fairway. He finally got up when we got close. Tamer than most you see. Course is much improved from years past.
