Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club - Ghost Creek Course
About
Located 25 minutes west of downtown Portland, Oregon, Pumpkin Ridge blends in with the natural beauty of the farmland.
The Ghost Creek Course is a golfer's dream; four sets of tees on each hole to challenge every golfer; continuous cart paths for convenience and ease of play; architecture in the "old style" leaving the land completely natural; vistas of the Cascades, Coast Range and Tualatin Hills, together with the farmland of the Tualatin Valley, create the ultimate aesthetic experience.
In addition, the Ghost Creek facility has it's own clubhouse, practice range and golf shop, nationally recognized teaching professionals, and is a full service golf outing facility.

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.
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.
Top 100 #63
Pumpkin Ridge deserves it’s continued national ranking in the Top 100 best public courses in America. It says it ALL. It is a GREAT course in GREAT condition.
The Best!
This is the best course in the pdx area. The course is in amazing condition! The greens roll fast but stay true if you choose the right line. I will be back and will be recommending this course to all! Loved it!
Great course a must play
The course was in excellent shape. Lots of challenges. Greens were fast but ran true. Some greens were very small. Plenty of bunkers and hazards. A definite play if you are in the area.
It's getting better
I play this course a few times a year since I start playing golf 8 years ago.I think this course was overrated. But this year I have noticed things are changing. Course condition is better, staffs are friendly. It feels like a top 100 again.
Pure Championship Quality
Any course that regularly hosts tour events (Women's tour) will be a good experience. Design and flow seem to mold flawlessly into this green oasis. The course layout is more challenging than first glance suggests and requires proper ball placement if you want to thrive. The higher slope of the course comes into play when you aim to be aggressive, which makes for a fun experience when temptation turns gentlemen into fools. Pumpkin Ridge is manicured by the best and the only faults boil down to the player.
Super fun course
This is my favorite course in Oregon (that I have access to). Difficult course in fantastic condition.
Gorgeous
The course overall was in great shape, staff was great and we all really enjoyed our time! Course isn’t super long from the blues, but the green speeds will make up for that.
Beautiful Course
Ghost Creek is located in a beautiful setting and is perfectly maintained. It is hard but also very enjoyable.
Rough to long
The first cut and the rough was too tall. Fairways and greens were excellent. TRIM THE FIRST AND SECOND CUT.
Great course
Challenging course for high handicapper but loved the course.
Challenging course not for beginners
Course was in great shape. The only problem I saw was the length of the rough. It was 3-4 inches deep and swallowed your ball. Had I not been playing with others, I would have lost at least a half dozen balls or more. Rough to deep for a public course, which would have slowed pace of play down. The greens were perfect and fast, lots of slope and breaks. Looking forward to playing again.
Great course but isn't what it used to be
This has been my home course for more than 10 years. A little over a year ago it was bought by an outside group and the course has suffered since then. The bunkers don't have enough sand in them and they are constantly punching and sanding the greens. When you play the fairways have been pretty good but the greens are poor to un-puttable. Its so disappointing.
They also used to have a great program called the Ghost pass that I bought every year, they continue to have it but they have raised their prices so much it will most likely hurt their business. My friends and I have joined other course programs and will be playing other courses in the area. If you are going to play this course because you are in the area make sure and check what the green situation is before you book. I have played this course 1-3 times a week for the past 10+ years but won't be doing that any longer. I still recommend the course if/when they have it in shape
well groomed course
I was a Senior Ghost Pass member in 2015/16/17 but that has been replaced by what is now called a Pumpkin Pass which is going to cost me and my fellow former Senior ghost pass members $80 a round (May/Sept Mon thru Thur Morning tee time under the new price structure! So as long as GolfNow has affordable Hot Deals at Pumpkin Ridge that will be the only way I and my regular weekly foursome will play there.
Good Layout Challenging to Play
Have played many times. Very fun, challenging course. Always enjoy playing Ghost Creek
Championship caliber course
An amazing layout in the middle of farm country, this course will be in great shape the middle of summer when it dries up a bit. Green speeds were slow due to recent sanding, but rolled true. I will definitely come back to play this Oregon gem again.
tough, but fair
Ghost Creek is a very nice course. Someday I'll get to play it when it is isn't soggy off the fairways, but that is golf around Portland, OR this time of year.
Pronghorn Golf Experience Package
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.
