Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club - Ghost Creek Course

I visit my stepdaughter in Portland at least once per year and always try to make a Pumpkin Ridge pilgrimage. It is an outstanding layout, interesting with great golf terrain. The par 3's are outstanding!!! The course had been punched and top dressed and was a little muddy this time with slow greens . But for late October, the conditions were excellent. Its about a 30 minute ride from Portland and well worth the trip, especially for $45.

Fairways that feel slightly sponge like to the step and an incredibly even mowing was so impressive and resulted in great lies for every shot.

Quite picturesque on several holes. There is an accordion feeling, going from generous to frighteningly narrow fairways .

Greens were receptive, and putted fast and true.

Second time playing this course. It’s beautiful, well-kept, and had a great first experience. My only complaint is that there was an extremely(!!) slow twosome in front of us. They took multiple tee shots each, spending more than five minutes between the two of them to tee off, never mind their pace of play once in the fairway/rough and on the green. It made for an extremely painful back nine. They didn’t have the etiquette to let us nor the foursome behind us to play through on a couple opportunities. They created quite the bottleneck and I never saw a marshal to help enforce the pace of play.

Booked a 8:20 tee time on the same day a tournament was being held. (Wasn’t aware of tournament) Played ahead of pace entire round however was hassled multiple times from staff to play faster due to tournament start time.

Will never recommend this course to anyone. What a joke.

The course was in excellent shape and the pace of play was good. Good value for high end public course.

We had a slow group, in front us and when got to five hole two group waiting.

With no Marshall the pace of play was horrible. One 3some group slow play for 5 groups. More than once 4 group were waiting to play at tee box. SMH made for a frustrating round. Need a Marshall on the weekend so pace of play is enforced.

Beautiful but challenging course. Carts are comfortable and in great shape but they are SLOW. The grill area was a little discombobulated but my Caesar wrap was delicious. Recommend to play with someone who has course knowledge as there is lots of trouble and some blind shots.

Way over priced. I've played courses equally nice for far less money. Not worth the $120 green fees.
Club house/pro shop area is in bad condition. Lots of deferred maintenance shows.

Course was in beautiful condition, running firm and fast.. Greens were fast and smooth. Some of the pins were tucked in challenging places. Pace of play was fairly slow likely from being a busy Sunday afternoon.

What a fun surprise and far better than expected. It’s very walkable and carts are high end like a private course.
There was outside staff.to assist even with Covid. The staff assisted finding water for self provided towels. Range has included practice balls and a good putting and chipping area. Sand traps also very good. The course was in fantastic shape w hard greens and immaculate fairways. It was a real joy to play. Especially after a disappointing round at The Reserve.
