Rose City Golf Course

Bunkers and greens in excellent condition. Course pretty wide open but enjoyable. Back 9 much more scenic and hilly. Since 3 of the par 5's are on the back, it would be hard to just play nine.

The weather was very overcast and off and on rain. Staff helped me get out early and I met a few fellows on the 1st tee box that invited me to play with them.To say the course was soggy would be an understatement. Greens were slow(go figure), but well maintained. The fairways were a little thick,but it is because of the rainy season. I have played this course 1 other time and enjoyed the experience then. I am going to play the course again but next time it will be for revenge. Great muni course in town.

For late February, my expectations were fairly low. The course is in OK shape for this time of year. Having no real driving range is a big minus for me. I brought a shag bag and warmed up but not ideal. The greens are very spotty, hard to put over a few feet without hitting some big bumps. Still it's a fun course to play with plenty of challenges for a golfer of my level.

The club house and staff is way above par. These guys are kind and respectful to you. The mens club is a movie in its self, within the clubhouse...

Love the course. Desperately need new golf carts. Tryed four before found one exceptible. Staff is friendly. Greens are in great shape.

This is a classic Portland track. Dense, tree-lined holes require accurate tee shots. Its in decent shape for a muni track, but play is slow, much like all the other public PDX courses.

The course maintained a steady pace. The greens are in great shape. They demanded some respect and didn't let up.

Had a great round at RCGC at a great rate with my Dad out there.

We're in the shoulder season here in the PNW so the deciduous trees were making finding your errant balls very difficult. I understand that ground crews do their leaf blowing duties on a regular basis, but well maintained courses will do this more often to prevent ball-finding problems - even in some fairways.

The motored golf carts that they have are very sub par. Some just don't work and most are in a need of a overhaul to make them more enjoyable. They are of the type that you need to step on the accelerator to start the engine, but the engines are usually cold and go "ping ping ping" for minutes before the engines "kick in" when starting your round. They are also quite slower than the average.

Otherwise, the course played well. The greens were true and mostly in good shape. A little muddy in spots like most courses. They were doing some maintenance to re-fill the water hazard on holes 10-11 but there wasn't any problems with that.

Scored my first ever double-eagle on 11, so I can't complain. "Flag-sticked" it in from ~210 yards out on my second shot! What a surprise! I was happy. =)

Tried and true, always the same, always good. Easy walk...go early though because the back 9 has several holes facing the sunset making it hard to see the ball...that is, if it is sunny when you go - otherwise, its great. Fun place to play with lots of variety and very easy walk.

Rose City is an older course with tree lined fairways; very mature trees. This is probably the key challenge and as such, you better hit a straight ball! The greens are in great shape and I've never waited more than a few minutes on each tee box.

One fun fact: The squirrels will practically eat out of your hand. They seem to like granola bars.

I played rose city sevaral times. I reserved tee time through the golfnow.com. Golf course is very great. Golf fee is very cheap. However, Green has a little challenge. I am very satisfied. I will suggest my friends this golf course.

I haven't golfed all 18 holes at Rose City in a few years and I'm reminded of the interesting challenges this course sets up. Side slopes on some fairways and a few other arrangements tend to feed balls toward undesirable approaches. But that's golf, right. I feel like the challenges offered are fair and can be fun to play. I want to go back and show that course who is boss.

Great place to pay in the city. Requires straight shots off the tee box but fairway layout is forgiving.

The greens need work. Too many fungus issues cause poor putting green conditions. Till a great pace to play tho.

You downhill tee shots, dog leg left and right. Up to green, down to green. Some tight fairways.

The greens were smooth and fast the day I was there. Not always the case - anywhere.

There were some spots in the fareways with no grass. The red tee boxes had weeds and dirt and not much grass for the most part. Greens seemed to be in good shape and challenging enough.

Good trip back to Rose City after not playing it for many years. Fairways and greens were well-watered. Early on the pace was good, but we caught up with some kind of tournament on the back side and that bogged us down. Generally a good time with golfing buddies and great deal from GolfNow.

Like this course. Elevation and trees give good variety.

Challenging holes and a few difficult pin placements yesterday. Tee boxes were in good condition and most fairways were green with only a few dry spots to be found. The water that comes into play on 10 and 11 is no longer a factor, it's a dry bed now. The two sand traps one in front of the other on the Par 3 12th hole seem to be excessive, I found the one closest to the green and the sand was just right as opposed to the other trap that looked more like dirt and more of a hard pan. The greens were neither slow nor fast and were pretty free of debris from the trees. Overall the course is fair and the price was great. Play was a little slow on the front 9 but the pace got better on the back side. I just wished I would have scored better, my drives were good but the rest of my game was below average.

This course has been improving for the last 10 years. The very first time I played Rose City, it was a terrible course. Now, this course is great and am looking forward to playing it again very soon. Worth the green fees especially if you like to walk. Only a couple of steep hills on the fairways.

Not the best around for the price, but a fairly challenging course with well maintained fairways and greens.
