Love it, but...

Lewis River is a fun course, and has always been one of my favorites. That being said, right now it is pretty rough shape. They lost several greens and the fairways are patchy. So... enjoy the layout. Set your expectations realistically, and know that some of the rolls won't be true.

Good energy

One of the gems of SW Washington. The greens are still in rough shape but for my game it didn't really change the outcome much. I ended up in a bunker that was more like a concrete pond. You can tell they are workng hard on improving conditions on the course but if you go with any stress you should leave well relaxed even if you don't turn in your pro numbers on your card this place has a way of helping one forget a tough work week it also helps with ones recovery from a sick day!

Greens are a disaster

This was probably the last time I EVER play this course. I couldn't believe how bad the greens were. Every green had large sections that were bare dirt and the entire green was dirt and grass intermingled. It was impossible to putt effectively. It was worse than playing on a green that had been recently plugged.

Terrible Greens

Don't know what happened to the greens. They were in terrible shape and it wasn't from aeration.

Great place to play golf when the course is in good condition.

Always love playing at Lewis River because of its surrounding beauty and well maintain course. Today, all the course greens were in terrible condition. The greens were brown and very rough. Putting was a challenge. Hope they get this problem solved.

Didn't get to finish!!!!!!

We didn't get to finish our round. On the 17th hole two players came in from nowhere and cut in. At first we thought it was the scramble that was going on at 1:30 but we're not sure I think they just wanted to see how many holes they could play before they too had to quit. At 18 it was backed up with three sets of players so we had to quit. Where was a marshal???
Greens were in awful shape throughout course. Very disappointed drove two hours.

Greens lack green

upon arriving I discovered not only was a ladies club on the course averaging 5 hrs for the round, but a 20+ tournament was teeing of as soon as possible after the ladies finished.

I teed off 40 minutes late and the pace of play was slow.
I doubt I will give this course another visit.

Pitiful Greens

I have never seen the course in such poor condition. The greens were just pitiful - burned up, barren earth, sanded, tire ruts on the greens.

This is my favorite course but I've never seen it like this. Of course no mention of the pitiful greens when you are paying. I paid $18 and wondered why it was so cheap. They should have paid me.

Great location poor putting

I play twice a week on average, and try to play as many different courses as possible through the Portland Vancouver area. I'm not a pro but can get around better then most. I was looking forward to playing this course because I have heard good things. I was surprised to find a nice track an great views tainted by extremely poor greens! They wouldn't hold a good shot and they wouldn't hold a line because of the poor condition...... What a shame!

Normally play this course several times a year but will probably not return. Course management is drastically on the decline with extremely poor scheduling and management of groups. Greens and fairways in very poor condition. Such a shame to see the direction Lewis River's management is taking.

Surprised by the conditioned

The course is really baked out. Most of the greens were unputtable. Fairways and greens were so dry that you had to hit 1 and 1/2 less clubs into greens to keep ball on putting surface. I was surprised because I have played there many times in the 50 years of playing golf and have never played Lewis River in this condition. I called the pro-shop this morning and they admitted that they have some diseased areas that they are trying to fix but satisfied by its current condition. I hope they can save the course. It is definitely not worth playing right now

great course in awful condition

I have been a playing this course for.years, usually play 6 to 8 times a year, this time we had newbies join us. The current condition of the course is appalling...the greens were terrible, old hole locations affected lines, most greens had significant dead spots. Tee boxes and fairways not much better. Sand traps need more sand.

I know we have had record temps...and they try to limit chemical use, and maybe water is rationed. Maybe they are too focused on weddings and events. But I will not be back again this year, truly disappointing.

Greens are in terrible condition

The greens are bumpy and partially dead. Patches of dirt. I have never seen such poor greens at this course. Definitely not worth the premium price they charge.

Going Downhill???

Always have liked this course. Play it halve dozen times a year.

Course was not in good shape in mid July and now again in mid August

Greens are normally in very good shape but on Sunday 8/10 they were bumpy and dead spots. Not good.
Fairways were hard and lacked water/green grass

Weather has been hot and sunny but that is not a good reason

Would not rrecommend

Pace of play was slow. 4 foursomes or regulars in front. They showed no inclination to speed up play. Did not park their carts in the proper spots to clear the hole for the next group, marked very short putts and came back to putt them, did not leave the green when until everyone was done, also not ready when it was their turn to play. It was hot not a a good day to stand around and wait. The course should be 3 and half hours, not 4 hours and 40 min. 2 months ago I went to play and I could only play 9 as there was a tournament going on.

Good Experience

The course was in good condition, the only concern I had was that we were behind a group outing. The pace of play was slower than what I am use to. Overall it was a good day to golf!

Greens & bunkers need TLC!

Have been playing this course for years. A short front nine and more challenging back nine. The only defense for the course has been the conditions of the greens and as of this date they need attention. Same with the bunkers, can you please put some sand in them, spend some money on course maintenance and this will be fun to play again.
