Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club - Ghost Creek Course

Pumpkin Ridge is completely unplayable! I lost 15 balls in the Fairway and rough, I never hit one out of bounds the day I played. I will never ever ever play this course again before it dries out. I would also never ever ever recommend this course to anyone I know this time of the year. Yes, we have had a lot of rain here in Portland this year but I have played this course in March before and for some reason I have never learned. This year was definitely the worst it's ever been but really not much better in years past this time of the year..

BTW for whatever it's worth, this is the first online review of any kind I have ever made...

I never had written a review before. But I feel I should warn other golfers about Pumpkin Ridge. The course was literally unplayable. It was so swampy you could not even walk in many areas. They did not cut the grass so around the fairways the grass and weeds were about 4-9 inches long.

Playing in the Northwest in winter spring months you have to expect poor course conditions. I have played courses for many years at this time of year and understand the liabilities of the conditions. But Pumpkin Ridge was so unplayable it was a complete waste of time and money. At the turn I requested a rain check. Denied with side order of extreme rudeness. Save your money as there are multiple courses in much better shape and value. Do not support a course that takes your money unfairly, provides a terrible product, and have the staff insult you.

Course was great for MARCH CONDITIONS!

Greens were fast for time of year and very undulating. Fairways drained great for how wet it's been. My advice for spring play is stay in the fairway.

Greens; good shape. Fairways; 60% casual water. Rough, even worse. Stay away until May at least. Good price, soggy conditions.

I play golf year around in all kinds of weather including soggy fairways. In 15 years I never played a course this time of year in worse condition. The fairways were extremely soggy, easy for a drive to plug in the middle of the fairway deep enough to completely hide. Thats unavoidable. What is avoidable is telling golfers up front that the grass just off the fairways is soaked and 6 to 8 inches deep and you should expect to lose 15 or twenty balls. Hitting out of soggy grass that deep is nearly impossible. Our play was a bit over 5 hours with the extra hour spent trying to locate balls. Just a reminder, the top tour pros don't keep all the shots in the fairway either. The staff emplyee agreed that golfers should have been told up front about conditions, but said he didn't want to turn away business. Guess What! He just ;lost ours.

About 30 minutes from the airport, an easy drive to the west. Rural setting was a pleasant surprise that close to Portland. Would classify this as a strong daily fee / resort level course capable of testing good players. Some holes are hemmed by trees, others more wide open and with expansive views. Ample room off the tee and a fun track for our group.

Ghost Creek is one of best layouts in the Portland metro area and I throughly enjoyed a nicely paced 4 hour round, the course is in great condition. The greens were healthly, rolled a little slow due to a slight bit of residual sand and softness but rolled true. Excellent value, can't beat the GolfNow Hot Deal rate!

Great time, great price, but they didn't have the fact that they aerated the greens on Golfnow.

Disappointing overall in regards to the condition of the course. I had played Hawks Prairie woodlands the day before @42$ and the conditions were superior. I am not sure if Pumpkin is having a hard time with the weather this summer but the course looked bad!

I emailed the course and asked about rental clubs before booking a tee time. I was told the course provided the latest set of Nike Vapor clubs. Not so. Instead I received a beaten up set of very old, very used Nike Covert clubs. The set even included a 7 iron with a woman's flex graphite shaft while the rest of the irons were men's regular flex steel shafts. Fortunately I discovered it on the driving range and got it exchanged before playing the course. Very good course but don't appreciate being told one thing but receiving clubs that should have been destroyed long ago.

Way to expensive for an average course. Staff was not informative, there is no course layout on the score card, the greens were spungy showing hundreds of foot prints very difficult to putt & play was very slow.

For some reason it was cart path only. No hole guide on the card or hole mark on the tee box. On some holes you had to guess where you were hitting to. Good pace of play until we made the turn. They let a 2 some and 4 some off in front of our turn. It was 1 1/2 hr front and 2hr back. And this was without prior course knowledge. Greens were moderate speed.

I didn't think the course was worth the money.
For $95 I expected a motorized cart to be included.
Wolf Creek includes carts where I paid $100. Much better golf course and more spectacular. Played the Blue Course at Heron Lakes today for a fraction of the price and enjoyed the course more.

Shot an 83, 45/38 blew up the front got it together on back. True rolling greens some tough pin placements also. All an a great course.

I enjoyed my round of golf. The course is pricey, but got a good price on Golf Now. The only downside was the greens. They were slow and and bouncy. The fairways and rough were excellent. A great course for your bucket list. I will play there again.

Classic nw.layout. Great from any tee box, fit for any skill level. Greens almost back from aeration.

Played Pumpkin Ridge for the first time, and it lived up to the hype! Yes, the greens are still bumpy and slow (but they have to punch them at some point right?). The overall experience was great! Very fun/challenging layout makes this course a must play if you haven't yet done so. Good elevation changes and layout.

After booking & driving 150 miles to play 36 holes we arrived and headed to first tee. The greens had just been punched but we were never informed.

This was my first visit to Pumpkin Ridge and my expectations were high. Booked a round for me and two of my friends through Golf Now. The rate was great as I booked on line only to find out it was a walking rate. Now the green fees went up by $15 per person but no problem we were all excited to play. The facilities were great staff was friendly so off we go to the first tee and of course what do we find, the greens were aerated. I'm sure I misspelled that but you know what Im referring to. Now the rate is not so good, we payed the regular (premium) rate for not so premium conditions. The layout on each hole kept you interested, fairways are modest but you are penalized if you make the rough. Green shots must be accurate or you'll find a bunker, some greens are small. Overall I give this course a good rating, we will return when greens grow in. staff should alert players to conditions and charge less in those conditions.

For the first time playing the course I was pretty excited, up until I saw the greens. The greens were recently aerated so putting was bit of a challenge. It would have been nice to expect it since I checked the website and called to confirm in advance. Nobody mentioned it. Still overall, we had a great time. Enjoyed the scenery. Watch out for hidden creeks running through the fairway, and brush up on your sand shots for #16....!
