Rose City Golf Course

I have played Rose City 100's of times and I have never seen this course in a worse condition. Greens are diseased and have patches of dirt everywhere. They will bounce back at some point, hopefully not too far into the summer. I love this course and I hope they figure out how to properly care for it.

Course is a little wet but then it's normal for winter

Anybody that gives Rose City a bad review, does not play golf or it was snowing. Thank you Rose City, I'll be back. Bill Hoffmann

Rose City is a fun course, and the staff has always been good the few times I've played there. It's a good course to play when I want to drive over the river into Portland, just minutes from Vancouver, Washington. It was late November and very cold, wet, and even was snowing. The course held up ok, some sloppy spots are expected this time of year in the Great PNW. Even with those conditions there were lots of people playing, true NW golfers! Rose City is a great value for the deal I found on golfnow

Played with three other singles. Course was in good shape considering the time of year. Played in less than 4.5 hours. Great course for walking.

Despite the weather (rainy and windy) had a great time. Met up with another gent who plays here often and had a great experience.

Very nice city course , old design and very affordable.

Rose City should not offer deals on GolfNow if they are not going to honor them. If they have holiday rates (Veterans Day) they should not post the times or post the times with the correct rates. Even though they did not honor the GolfNow rate I signed up for we played anyway. Very windy but the course was in good shape for a blustery fall day.

Considering the rainy conditions and the bottom land on which the course sits, Rose City GC still plays fairly true, with fewer hazards than you might imagine. The green fees, particularly for seniors, are very reasonable. A senior card gives you a discounted rate at Rose City, Heron Lakes and Eastmoreland, but requires getting a picture ID card on Monday and Wednesdays in the early afternoon.

This was the first time for quite awhile for me, but i really enjoy this course. It is pretty open on all courses to play.

First time playing here and was pleasantly surprised at the layout and overall condition. Plus only lost one ball

Nice little track for Portlanders. It breaks up the monotony of playing Heron Lakes over and over again. I'll play it again, but be aware there are few sections that do not drain all that well and because of that I might try to avoid periods when rain has been falling heavily.

Played the blues (6552/71.5/121) on a prepaid Golf Now Hot Deal for $18 to walk. Excellent value on a Sunday afternoon, even if it was a 4H, 40M round.

I am told Portland has not has any significant rain in 2 months. It shows, both courses I played this weekend were dry to very dry. This is not a tight course, it's an older Portland city course with many mature trees in NE Portland. While they only had a couple of doglegs, there wasn't a straight hole on the course, every par 4/5 bent at least some one way or the other. There weren't any holes that made you go "WOW", but there wasn't a bad hole out of the 18 either... several long par 3's and reachable par 5's, plus a good combination of shorter, medium and longer par 4's... and nary a flat hole either, it was constantly up/down hills. Not an easy track, but one where you could score if playing well.

The greens were medium speed, undulating and generally putted OK. However, many greens had brown patches that reminded me of Sunday @ a U.S. Open due to the lack of water. I have a harder time here than most courses figuring out the break. Several greens had severe breaks where if you were on the wrong side of the hole, 3 putts was likely.

The fairways and rough were dry but played decent.

The traps all seemed to have nice, fluffy sand, very good.

The tees were also dry but decent, especially considering the amount of play.

Customer Service from the pro shop to the starter were both excellent, and the cart gal made her way around several times on a 90 degree day.

Typical slow play for a Friday 3 foursomes ahead of us lots of shots from them waiting to clear green when there was over 200 + yards, safety was concern but most times barely over 100 yard shots, and some drinking

I used to play 9 holes every week after work in the early eighties. And to tell you the truth, I did not think much of the course. Last week, at the last moment, I secured a tee time and was surprised at the excellent condition of the course. This was the first time I have seen the course in thirty years. Hats off to the City of Portland. I will be back again and again.

Need to do a better job keeping up greens and outer side of fairways yo yo be water, too dry

My first round of golf here took over 5 hours but I cut them some slack since it was one of the first nice days of the year and it was packed. My second round here took over 5 hours again but this time the source was obvious. A 3 three some in carts that was 7 holes in front of me was 2 holes behind on the 8th green. And there was no marshal in sight. Sadly these clowns played the back nine too. It was bad enough that a group that teed off 1.5 hours after we did caught us on the 17th hole.

Let's keep this one a secret! Good value.....................................

Overall opinion is goog place. There are so many big trees.Big trees are good hazard!!

Rose City is local and convenient for City Locals. Close to Downtown and Airport. Prices for Public Course are good. Excellent place for mid-week golf break from work.
