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!
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.
No marshal waited 30 min between holes
Waited 30 min per hole no marshal every one was upset tried to get a rain check 5 some in front of us small course front nine quit on 6 th hole after 2 hours of play
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!
Nice
tees=B+ fairways=B sand=B greens=B+ rough=B
very good condition... 11th tee direction is a little confusin
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.
Beautiful Course
Nice setting next to the Lewis River. Staff keep the course in great shape. Front 9 is a lot easier than the back 9. Back 9 has a 600+ yard par 5. Very enjoyable, picturesque place. Nice venue for a wedding. Restaurant and food was excellent with nice patio overlooking the River. Staff was very, very friendly and accommodating. Will have to go back sometime. Highly recommended. Back 9 is pretty challenging for regular duffers like me. But, was able to par 6 of the last 9 holes.
What fun!
Came up from central Oregon on a golf trip. Back ground: I'm 70 yrs old, 7 hdcp, but I only drive 210 yds. This is a perfect course if you are that type of golfer. Listen, this is an old "timey" course, from the 60's I think. Short, narrow fairways, lot of slope and humps on the small greens. This is a PERFECTLY acceptable design on a short course with small greens. In fact it heightens the challenge, as it should, on an older course. This was built before they had modern mowing techniques. They are SMART enough to keep the Stimp at 10. The putts won't get away from you. You will need to be able to chip as the greens are smaller. Fortunately I can chip and putt and shot 79. The staff was friendly and the pub sandwiches were excellent and the service was very good. Sit outside on the deck and watch the river flow by. Price was soooo reasonable. We'll be back!
The long par fives are a challenge.
Do not like paying $4 bucks for a simple hotdog and 3 for a Gatorade ....geez But other then that one of my favorite courses around.
We had lunch on the deck. The food was EXCELLENT! Perfect pub food, burger was GREAT! as was the turkey/bacon sandwich with potato salad. The servers were friendly and the drinks were very reasonably priced. You sure you were at the same course I was at?
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.
