Ghost Creek

A very nice layout and the greens were awesome, probably rolling at 12. If i lived in the area i would have this as my home course. I look forward to playing it again. The only disappointment was they did not serve breakfast so we had to drive back into town to eat.

Pumpkin Ridge

This an exceptional place to play and enjoy the surroundings. The greens, tee boxes and fairways were in excellent shape along with an array of true conditioned bunkers. The greens were fast, but fair and true. If you are in Portland, OR, please take the time to enjoy this scenic layout. It is a 40 minute drive from the Portland Airport. The price was worth the experience. Full drink & food menu is made available by scratch, back of the house preparation.

Perfect day!

The weather was PERFECT! The good news is that we had the opportunity to tee off as a two-some. The 4 players that we caught up to let us play through and we finished our round in about 3 hours and 15 minutes!

The cart was included in our round but we chose to walk both for the exercise and with it being cart path only getting to play faster! This day couldn’t have been better! Greens and fairways were in great shape! So happy we got to play the course as a two some and had the best round in about 20 years!

Seeing ducklings that had just been born this morning was a bonus!

This is a very challenging course, the fairways are narrow and the rough is thick. Greens are outstanding, this is a real good test of golf

Great Day on a Great Course!

I've play this course 2-3 times each spring when I visit Oregon from Colorado for a couple of months. This outing featured the best conditions I've experienced in the past 5 years. Weather was great and the course was in exceptional shape. Fairways were tight, rough wasn't overly penal and the greens were quick and pretty true despite recent aerifcation. At 67, I no longer can hit the ball quite as far as when I first played this course in 2012 so I played from the Red Plus (mix of Red and White tee-off locations) tees which feature a yardage of about 5400 yards. It proved to be a perfect option. Looking forward to trying it again next week.

Great shape for December

I can say how impressed I with the conditions of Ghost Creek in an early December round. First off. The GolfNow deal is incredible. There was a frost delay but it hardly impacted me. There was one group ahead of me that allowed me to play through and I finished in less than 2.5 hours. Conditions were so great. May go back next week.

Best Golf Experience to Date!

I was blown away by Pumpkin Ridge Ghost Creek! Got the round through GolfNow as a Hot Deal for $55 and man was it ever a hot deal!

First off it was a beautiful day in November in Oregon, however, that was a bonus to the overall experience.

Checked in for our tee time and was told the range is “open” (which meant they provided free balls for warming up). The short game practice area was awesome as well. Food was also good in the club house and well priced.

The course was is amazing shape, and looked hardly played. No wet or soft areas. Greens rolled amazing. Even the rough was nice!

A truly amazing golf experience for $55!

Most unfriendly staff

Booked tee time through GolfNow. When asking if possible to start little early the staff rudely reply NO. The tee box was open. Golf course is in the entertainment business. A little bit friendliness will go long way.

Hi, as the member of the staff that you dealt with this day and now a former member of the Pumpkin Ridge team (I moved out of the area). I would like to explain the situation that occurred, The poster of this review booked a Hot Deal Tee time and arrived to the club more than 2.5 hours early with the assumption that they were allowed to go off whenever because of the quietness of the day. When asked if the player was allowed to play at an earlier time, I did as any shop attendant and Assistant Golf Professional would and informed them that the Hot Deals at Pumpkin Ridge are required to go at those SPECFIC tee time and that if they wished to play early that they were more than welcome to... if they were willing to pay the remainder of the fee that would be required to play at this time as the price for the hot deal was significantly less than tee time fee at the desired time to play.

Probably because you booked hotdeal. Depends how early you ask, but most courses won’t let you book a cheap rate and then play early.

Beautiful day in Oregon

Took my husband to play Pumpkin Ridge for his birthday. Had a wonderful day. It was a warm day, but we weren't rushed and the beverage cart always seemed to find us! Will play there again.

Immaculate & Interesting

Ghost Creek at Pumkin Ridge is most definetly the best course I have ever had the privilege of playing on. The course was in fantastic condition, manicured to perfection, but also challenged your accuracy from the tee to green. The greens were fantastic. Lighting fast, free of blemishes, and rolling true. A must play if in the area and looking for a tour level experience.

Hot day

This round was tainted by the fact that it was 95 degrees and we had a prepaid round which included a golf cart AND when we got there were told it was cart path ONLY! I booked the prepaid round, at a nice price but was NEVER told that on one of the hottest days of the year you really have to walk twice as far as actually walking the course when it is cart path only. Unfortunately, I didn’t come prepared to walk. They should tell you prior to booking if it is cart path ONLY! It seems reasonable to have a 90 degree rule during hot weather but not cart path only. I never would have booked this round knowing it was cart path only.

One of the bad things about cart path only is that people don’t fill divots because the sand is on the cart 50 years away on the golf cart on the path. That makes the course suffer and a result, the course is in worse shape. There were a lot of divots in the fairway, it’s a shame. Ghost creek is a nice layout but I am not eager to go back, even at the price I paid.
