Lewis River Golf Course

I showed up almost an hour early for my tee time. I told the pro shop guy that and asked if I could go out early and by myself. He said because I had booked my tee time with golfnow.com I got it very cheap and they normally do not let people who do that go out early. But in his words, "I will cut you some slack because we want you to keep coming back", so he allowed it. The course was almost empty, no one was on the first tee or the entire first hole. I did look behind me while playing, no one. The course had plenty of room, I know I was early, why not let someone out early if it does not interfere with anything/anyone. I was also walking, not riding one of their carts. Comments that the guy made were totally unwarranted. I also thought that if I said something to the guy, he would have made me wait 55 minutes until my booked tee time arrived. I've been golfing for 46 years, first time I got that kind of treatment. The course was being plugged as I played, the greens were recently aerated but not sanded or they were not sanded properly. The golfnow.com website did not have a warning about this nor did the golf course advise me of this when I called a day in advance to check on their dress code. I have played this course many times before but nothing like this happened previously.

Course was in pretty good shape and the layout is quite fun. The front nine is more old style golf and the back nine is more modern. The fairways and greens were recently aerated, but still in good shape.

This course is in my top 5 that i play! Always well kept, dryer in the winter than most other courses. The monster par 5 at 620 yards is always exciting and very demanding. Usually not to busy and close to Vancouver-Portland. I would recommend it to anyone!

Was looking forward to a round out at Lewis River. When I purchased the round it was marked with an "A" for aerating. I would have been ok with that but when we get there we find out no greens are being used and the replacement greens are on the fairway every hole. Feel like that should have been mentioned on the golf now site before we drive an hour. Lewis river is a great course but this was a poor experience because of the replacement greens.

Coarse is in GREAT shape. Greens are good,w/no winter burn. Beautiful coarse along Lewis River. Can watch Salmon being caught on hole 17.

Always enjoy playing Lewis River. My only concern is the lack of signage to the course. Unless you know where you are going you could miss the turnoff. Makes it nice for us who know how to get there. Nicely maintained and offers challenges to us who are not professionals. Water areas are very nicely portrayed. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a beautiful landscaped facility.

Course was in good shape for 1st week of march. Greens are keep up well.

The front side is somewhat tame, like a fuzzy little bear, but the back is more like a roaring lion, it truly can eat your lunch. The course is very, very different from the whites and the blues. I would suggest you play them both to find out what one meets your golfing needs. The lower handicap player will get a real test from the blues on the back....no really, I mean it! I am looking forward to getting back there bringing some of my friends for a real treat.

I will definetly go back. The course was in the best shape of any course in the area. I was impresed with how well it has been kept up. Not muddy or sloppy like the other local courses.

Play was fast and good, deal good, weather good. Getting through this review was irritating

I recommend Lews River because it's one of the few courses you can actually play in the winter in this area where the ball doesn't plug on every shot. Practice facility is grass tees, but irons only.

In the late fall, the colors and the purr of the river make this a really relaxing outing

THE BAD
1) WE PLAYED 18 ON A SUNDAY AND NEVER SAW A DRINK CART
2) WE NEVER SAW THE MARSHAL TO KEEP THE PACE MOVING
3) THE BUNKERS WERE IN HORRIBLE CONDITIONS

THE GOOD
1) THE PRICE WAS GOOD BECAUSE WE BOOKED IT THROUGH GOLFNOW
2) THE GREENS WERE IN GREAT SHAPE

I fell in love with this course! So many unique features and wonderfully maintained. I can't wait to come back and play again!

Beautiful course on the bank of the Lewis River. 600+ yard #12. Good greens.

Dining on the outside deck over looking the Lewis River is a must

So sad. This use to be one of my top courses to play. I went out and the condition of the course where below average. Great course lay out however greens where very slow and bumpy. Tee boxes where also in sad shape. Fairway where dry and again not in great condition. What has happened to this course. On top of a poor day I lost my 58 degree brand new vokey wedge and either no one turned it in or the staff decided to keep. Also noticed a posting in the Mens locker room of a guy getting his entire set of clubs stolen out of the back of his vehicle while he was at Lewis River. Sad to say but I will not be a paying customer to this course again which was on my top 5 list about 5 years ago. I drive from South Portland area which is over and hour drive to golf this course. Wont be making the drive again
