East at Glendoveer Golf Course

I played on Thanksgiving thanks to a deal I found on golfnow, my 2 sons and I played. The course was fairly sparse which made our pace of play under 4 hours which was perfect. We got done in time to catch the second half of the Cowboys game and just before dinner was served.

Thanks again Golfnow, I might have to make this a turkey day tradition!

The course will test your skills in keeping it in the fairway. There is a lot of up and down compared to the West side course. We were disappointed that most of the greens had a lot of debris on them and it was not a windy day. There was some rain in the morning and because of leaves on the fairways and steep grades we ended up spinning down the hillside on hole 2 about 3 times. They probably should not have let carts out that day and when we made the turn found out they had suspended any more carts from going out soon after we had taken off. It is a friendly course, and being fall it is fair to say them may have difficulty keeping the course cleaned up.

nice course just challenging enough. fairways wide enough to avoid trees most of the time. sand could be a little better . nice variety as to up and down terrain and length of holes. fun to have par 4s that are driveable. noty much water but I can live with that.

Would consider this my home course, Would rate it as being typical. Has changed ownership in the last year, no real apparent changes to condition. Course is full of fir and maple trees, which both leave alot of debris in fairway and greens also.
All green have debris that needs to be cleared for each putt.
I play this course out of convienence of location. Have a better time at most all other courses in the portland area.

Super-Twilight is a SUPER BARGAIN. The staff works you in, even when busy. Having two 18 hole courses makes it really nice, they'll allow you to switch to the other back 9 if the one you started on is too busy, etc. Very nicely maintained. Hilly, a GREAT walk. We golf 5+ days/week and this is by far my favorite for all of these reasons.

The front nine was slow going but enjoyable from a golfing standpoint. Didn't mind waiting on a few holes. The corse ranger came and moved groups along. The back nine moved along at our pace of play . I will definitely play this one again.

Played as a 3-some with other 2 other Golfnow users. There was no one on the course because of threatening weather, but aside from gusty winds the weather was not an issue. Even after all the previous rain the course played dry with no plugging and plenty of run. There was some tree litter on some of the greens, but they putted true and were in generally good shape. There were many fairways with huge bare spots, but even they were not muddy. A fun time was had by all.

Beautiful course setting with great landscape of elevation changes, mature Douglas Firs lining the fairways, challenging while still containing opportunities for birdie. Nice folks there, not a bad practice facility.

All that said, the tee boxes and greens are in really bad shape a lot of the time. Lots of dirt spots on the greens from old ball marks, plenty of work needed on the putting surfaces. Immaculate bunkers though.

Bummer to see such a cool course layout in less than complimentary shape in the end of summer. Will defiantly golf here again but hope to see it get some TLC!

Oh, and if you play the back tees prepare yourself for a 245 par 3!!!!

i used to play this course a lot 7 years ago and it was superb but now it is awful . the greens are long ,bumpy,and full of old dead pitchmarks. the t boxes are like weed ridden and have next to no grass on them and the fairways are poor at best..the bunkers are in great condition though. i got a hot price of $18 and that is about the price they should be charging all the time. this course needs a lot of tlc and 1/2 a million bucks thrown at it

Walked the blues (68.8/123/6157) in 3h, 45m on a Sunday afternoon Golf Now rate of $22. Glendoveer is an older, shorter course in NE Portland that gets a ton of play, many of which are novice or high handicap golfers. Unique layout, par 73 with five par 5's and four par 3's. I like the layout, it's fun. A couple of par 4's that are potentially driveable for longer hitters. The fairways are tree lined with huge mature trees. A decent assortment of open, tight and a couple of very tight holes. Not that many water hazards or OB holes, but plenty of places in the trees to lose a ball if you get crooked. Considering that it's in the city, there were almost NO houses visible along the course, and there is a walking/running trail that loops around the outer edge of the course. While the layout was fun, the course conditions were not fun. The greens were soft, a bit bumpy, slow & I averaged fixing about a half dozen ball marks per green, and that was just just around my ball or in my line. I never did get their speed down. The tees were in fair shape & many had severe divot damage that needed repair. The fairways were at best fair, many of them had alot of divot damage. There were numerous places in many fairways that looked like they had inserted "plugs" of grass to try and regrow the bad browned/hardpan areas, w/o alot of success to this point. The rough was generally mowed down and semi-lush, you usually could make good contact on shots out of the rough. There were also large areas of hardpan under the huge trees that lined both sides of every hole. The sand was very well maintained, and I was in 6 traps total, so I should know. The traps were by far the best maintained part of the course. They have a driving range off mats, clubhouse, pro shop, snack bar and highly rated restaurant on site. Customer service in the pro shop & with the starter was a ++. This course is questionable, and it's in a questionable section of town. Last time I played here, I stopped beforehand at a fast food place about 2 miles away and provided 2 separate witness statements to police during a 45 minute lunch. First, a homeless guy went off in the restaurant & was threatening people. Then just a few minutes after the police left, there was an armed robbery in the parking lot about 20 yards from where I was eating lunch? I have played app. 25 courses this summer, and this was the worst conditioned course I have played. I could not recommend this course, there are numerous local courses close by that are better to MUCH better.

I've played the East course about four times in the last year and have found it to be fun & challenging for me. There were some (white) tee areas and some areas around some of the greens that were very soggy, but the fairways were satisfactory, for the most part. The golf carts are gas powered and getting old, so there were some times when I thought we weren't going to make it up the hills, and I thought $14 per player is high for a public course and for what you get.

Got out a few minutes before scheduled time. Beautiful day. Course was in good shape, greens a bit slow, but pretty smooth. Bunker experience not great - a little tight with the sand in the fairway bunkers.

Hadn't played this course in years, and as summer rate is $17pp for 9 holes, held off until we were able to get a deal through Golfnow. Paid $15pp, and with the plethora of beautiful courses in the city of Portland, which provide super summer rates, we were a bit disappointed with the course condition at the price. We have been playing much nicer maintained courses all around town. The fairway and rough was pitted, missing grass in areas which was replaced by hard dirt/mud. There was seed thrown on some of the dirt, but no appropriate cover to help the seed grow. The greens were in good condition, but otherwise the course was not well maintained. We won't be back unfortunately with all the additional nicer course options around Portland, many at better rates.

The course was very nice, lined with tall trees so shady on a hot day and walkable, with a few hills though.

Staff was very nice and very helpful.

Got a better deal at course than Golf Now App offered, still had to pay the Golf Now fees, still made more sense to eat the fees and re-book at course, kinda defeated the purpose but you live and learn. Will check direct booking of TeeTimes with courses in future to see which rate makes more sense.

Very beautiful on the back 9. Watched as a coyote tried to eat a blue heron. Lots of deer on the course also. Course is not very difficult.

Good old course with lots of shade on a hot day! Stay out of the tree and score well. Not an easy walking course but can be done. East course is the best of the two

The staff was great, very friendly. But the west course is in terrible shape for only being a couple months into summer. Tons of bare spots all over fairways and greens; dry, course grass on fairway. Greens had large and small aeration holes on a number of them, along with ruts and diseased spots that are not being fixed. It's July but there is still quite a bit of sand on several greens, affecting the roll and speed of a putt.

I won't play this course again.

the greens were lightly graveled sand traps were good the staff was good

It is an easy course but needs serious attention to the fairways and greens. The greens are green, but very slow and bumpy and do not roll true.(Puts seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.) Fairways have many dead spots, not from lack of water though. Fairways were plugged in the spring, but have not healed well, and have died in some areas. For the money there are other course that are in MUCH better condition. Pace of play was good though, sand in the bunkers was actually excellent, but the fairway grass and greens need help.

I have played at Glendoveer for over 20 years, though it has been a couple since the last time I played. The course was in the worst shape I have ever seen. It appeared as if it hadnt been watered in over a week. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in bad shape. Only 5 or 6 holes were in better than decent shape. The price was great, but I wouldve paid another 5 bucks or so to be able to hit off grass, and not have to put through burnt patches and aeration holes.
