East at Glendoveer Golf Course

Course is just an overall reflection of SE Portland, "a dump" if you like playing on a course where no one fixes their ball marks or rakes the bunkers, men playing without shirts, cut off jean shorts than this is your course. 5 hour rounds are the norm. Greens were bumpy and over watered, fairways were like playing on a beat up football field. A hacker delight.

I really enjoy playing this course. But what made me really mad is the fact that I started on the front 9 of the East course and was shooting really well. Then when I got to the back 9 there was a group of about 30 that I guess was playing in a little tournament t when I got to the course. I then had to go and play the front 9 of the West and totally threw me off my game and had to sit behind two groups of 4 which made me get completely out of rhythm. And to top it off two of the group's to longer then 21 minutes a hole for 4 straight holes and they would not let me play through! I really wished they would have said something to me before I paid for my round! Other then that, I love both the East and the west!

I've been in Portland for 15 years now and play Glendoveer at least once every year. When I first got here I played with a group that played 9 holes there every Tuesday so I know the course well. A new management group took it over a few years ago and they have really raised it up. Played the East today and was very impressed. Fairways were in very good shape and the greens were good and actually soft. We've been playing some tight courses lately and really enjoyed the broad fairways and the tall fir trees actually let you find a ball that strays right or left. Looking forward to my next round there. FYI, 3 stars is as high as I go for a muni, so that's a top rating.

The course layout is not easy, but most of the holes are relatively short. Some up and down walk which would make some players more than expected compared to flat courses. This is a fun course and I played from Blue tee, but it seemed still shorter in overall length as I only shot driver 9 out of 18. I recommend the course for anyone who wants to have fun with playing golf, but not seriously keeping the score.

I used to play this course many years ago when I lived in Portland. I am now retired and living in Palm Springs, CA and spent the past month vacationing in Portland. I was impressed by the condition and the challenge of this course. I played it three times in the month I was here.

It's relatively short from the white tees (less than 5800 yards), but the tee shots require a degree of accuracy not generally demanded from a 20+ handicap player. Lots of trees and elevated greens make this a much tougher course than the yardage on the card.

The downside: there are no marshals, and the play can be VERY SLOW at times. I am surprised that they allow golfers in flip/flops and t-shirts. That would never be permitted in the clubs I play back home.

It's a great value when you use Golf Now and get a "Hot Deal" price -- $15 plus $16 for the cart. I would be less excited to pay "retail".

It was (and always HAS been) a good course to play. In fact: In the past, it was our "home course". It was our "go-to" course when we couldn't decide. It was our FAVORITE course! However, the course is charging $32 for a cart! This is why I don't play there that often and why you hear all the negative hype on social media as to how "greedy" Glendoveer is when it comes to screwing over their customers. The course would be booked continuously (practically: 24/7) if they'd reduce this rate by $10). Other courses give special rates of $20-30 for 18 with cart included. We're thinkin' that Glendoveer just couldn't handle the traffic if they reduced their rates to what other courses are charging. :-(

The pace was ok, group in front of us was little slow and it always slow the first 5 holes as the par 3 get everyone backed up. The new bunkers were nice. Greens were ok, pretty beat up. They weren't really fast or slow. Did finish 18 but the last 2 holes we couldnt see where our ball was landing 840ish.

On the east the fairways just like all courses a bit wet... but the greens are lighting fast right now...

Keep the course up !!!

Great weather go food afterwards at Ringside

Some said the East course was the harder of the two, I felt they were very comparable. However I preferred the west due to some elevated boxes.

I would say it's a very forgiving course w wide fairways - the season just started so the course was in good condition well cut fairways though the rough was cut down also. The greens were good considering the recent rains.so e swampy areas getting plugged; what you'd expect for the season.

It's a good relaxing place but can get pretty crowded w seniors. So pace can be slow but not horrendous.

I found this course enjoyable, not too difficult, staff was very friendly,

This was our first time on this course and we had a great afternoon. We only play a few times a year so most courses are a challenge. However, we were not pressured by staff or other players. These fairways are wide, there is very little water and we enjoyed every minute. Beautiful surroundings.

The staff was fantastic, especially Errin

First time playing golf course so I didn't know what to expect. The layout crosses a "ridge" for the lack of a better term. It has some really good par 3's at 225/190/180 and then you get funky driveable par 4's at 270-310... Greens were in good shape, but overall conditions very average. It was a bit wet considering all the nice weather we had lately. They would be smart to pull out some trees to open up greens and tees so grass would grow better. Good value for the $25 all you can play on GolfNow.

The course is in great shape and would recommend anyone who wants to play a longer game. The golf carts are in good shape as well if walking isn't your thing, with a restaurant and snack bar close by.

I've worked in the golf industry and played tournament golf. Played many types of courses and conditions. When I played the course it was just under the 2 week mark of them aerating the greens. The greens were decent but I have to question the super. In my many years of playing these greens are by far consistently the worse greens I've played. Granted this course gets plenty of play but these greens aren't good. I have friends that are average golfers that complain about this every time they play. It has become a "last resort" course. And the west course isn't much better but it's a good course for beginners and seniors but it is highly over priced. I will never play full price to play there again. I feel the new ownership isn't worried about the quality of the course jus the quantity of players. It's a shame too I really love the layout of the course. Also they need to have a marshall to help pace of play. You should play in 4 and a half or less.

sunny & beautiful day to be golfing with my son

Would of been nice to know that they just plugged the fairways as well as plugged and sanded the greens. The fairways were not cut to length through the first nine hole. So much sand was left on the green that there was no true roll.

I anticipated poor conditions because it has been rainy lately. I anticipated an opportunity to rent a cart as I am borderline handicapped and the course is extremely hilly. They were not allowing carts due to the conditions. I could not get a refund because the course was not closed. I had to rent a pull cart and trudge up and down the hills in the mud.

I have played this course several times, over the years. Taking in consideration, the time of year, recent weather conditions and temperatures, the ground keepers had the couse in very playable condition. Thank You, had a great afternoon.
