Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club - Ghost Creek 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.

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.

You should avoid this course until the June-September timeframe when it gets dry. In March, the course was sloppy and soggy and it took 5 hours and 45 minutes to play with no Marshalls to help speed up the slow groups in front of us. The rough was almost knee height and hadn't been cut in weeks. Slightly errant balls were lost if they landed in the rough just a few feet away from the greens or just off the fairways. The balls also plugged in the fairways. The course indicates it wants to charge $150 per round in the Summertime. I would not recommend playing the course in the Summer due to the extremely high cost. The new ownership has taken away the long-time Ghostcard which cost approx $135 but gave you a "free round" and access to discounted green fees of $65. The new ownership now offers the Pumpkin Pass which costs $50 but you don't get a free round and have to pay $90 to walk in the Summertime. This used to be my favorite course in the Portland area to play. Now, there are many other courses, that are in better condition and are much less expensive. The new owners need to sell to a company that actually knows how to price, maintain and embrace the golfing community. Sadly, I recommend that you stay away!

I love this course when it is dry. First thing I found out was there were no range balls. Weird. Second thing was the course was very wet, we had to search for plugged balls in fairways and especially in the rough. I was disappointed in the condition of the course. It was a beautiful day and two of our foursome dropped out after 9 holes. The round was slow, it took 5 hours. The staff was really nice, but it didn't make up for the course conditions. I wont be going back until the middle of the summer.

This course is really great, beautiful layout and design, great views, amazing staff who is helpful and pleasant, but there is just one small problem. This course stays really wet all winter. Every year it pops up as a special deal, not too expensive to play and I think to myself that it hasn't been raining too much, it will probably play fine. But every time I play in the winter, it's basically standing water, especially holes 1-6, but really on the entire course. Greens hold up great, look great, roll a little slow, but the fairways and rough are just too wet. I would strongly encourage anyone to play this course, but save your money for the late spring or early summer when it dries out.

Not a simple course but fun if you are a player. Long 4 pars that you need to keep ball in short grass. Great views and very quite. Need to play at least once.

I could almost see why everyone thinks this is a good course, almost. I've played courses here in the rainy season that were much more playable for half of what they charge at Ghost Creek. Nowhere near being worth $60 to play in the wet.

LIKE ALL WILLAMETTE VALLEY golf courses when the rainy season sets in, Pumpkin Ridge is slippery, wet, soggy. That's just the way it is. So be prepared. It had been dry for 2 days when we played and the course was still muddy.

In addition for such a well thought of course, Ghost Creek's grass is surprisingly thin. This is especially noticeable in the long rainy season when finding a good lie in the fairway can be difficult. Pumpkin Ridge needs better grass.

Beautiful course and fantastic weather. Slow golfers up front spoiled the whole thing. It was a 5+ hours round.

Ive played this course about 4x now. Everytime, it leaves me more impressed than before. The Head Pro Brett, was so great in our interaction, the course is an excellent challenge to my game. We played it same time as the Collegiate chmpionship was occuring on witch course. The stimp was at 10.3. Fairways were good, greens were lightening fast. I play to a 7cap.I could spend a month raving about it & still couldnt cover all its impressive traits.pumpkin Ridge is simply the best

I played this course about 10 years ago and thought I'd give it another go. While the staff was very friendly, the course seemed a bit over-played and in average condition. It took us almost 5 hours given the relatively slow pace. The fairways were abused by golfers and I think that players need to repair their divots better. Overall, I thought it was fine, but given the price, I expected more.

Such a relief from public courses in Portland. This is a course that's challenging but fair. Can't wait to play again.

the course is well maintained and the layout of the course challenges the average golfer

Worth playing once , but value for the money just not there. Had higher expectations for a course that cost $101 per player, (w/ GN discount) and has hosted major professional events.

Been wanting to play this course for nearly 20 years ...Course is in great shape but not to exciting....I have played 52/100 top golf digest public courses....Not sure how this one in in the group.....did enjoy the round....Now the problem...The lady in charge behind the counter was very cold and she had us wait to our 8:30 teetime despite no one was teeing off after the 8am group...yes we watched the tee box and yes someone may have no showed ...not the first time I have experienced this type of treatment by other clubs in dealing with golfnow ....We cought the 8am group on the 4th fairway and they insisted on us playing thru in the middle of the par 5.....never will understand why such club personnel would use golfnow and then treat us like this .....I assume creating potential slow play by dragging out starts give them some type of mismanagement control.....Love the course- don't make us retirees come out of retirement to fix such ignorant behavior...sorry...

File this under “great customer service.” I got my reservation date mixed-up and arrived at the course after driving 40 miles only to realize I was there a day early. The gentleman on the other side of the counter could sense my embarrassment and couldn’t have been more accommodating. He got me on the course despite my mistake. And I’m certainly glad he did. The course was in wonderful condition. The greens were pure and the fairways were immaculate. Too bad my game wasn’t up to the high standards of the course but I had a tremendous afternoon just the same.

For being a course that charges nearly 100 bucks a round, I expected more. Not much in the pro shop although the staff was very friendly. The course itself was not that great. Fairways cut vey short and filled with sand. I imagine its helps keep the course dryer, but when my ball hits the fairway, I shouldn't see sand flying up. Greens were decent, very fast. But the worst part was the rough areas. Grass was about 5 inches long and thick. Spent 5 minutes every time my ball was in the rough looking for it. Walked past it several times. If you hit the rough next to the green, good luck. Land your ball on the green with your chip, rolls off the other side, land it in the rough, which is about a foot off the green and it stops dead in its tracks. I've played much cheaper courses that are about 60 dollars a round cheaper.
