Great course but a bit pricey

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 Course

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.

Beautiful course HOWEVER.

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.

Ask First

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.

Aerastrated

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....!

wait for greens

If you are about to play this course wait. The course is in great condition, however the greens are horrible. It is nothing they have control over as all greens need to be punched. Charging full price for that then not informing players that there punched was a joke. So good course in the summer im sure and great staff.

First Trip to Pumpkin Ridge Ghost Course

The condition of the course was nothing short of phenomenal. Greens were outstanding. The grass in the rough was long making it difficult to find your ball if you hit out of the fairway, but if you could find the ball, it was not impossible to get back in the fairway and avoid a disastrous score.

very nice course

As an average golfer I've always wanted to play Pumpkin Ridge. I was a little disappointed. Although it was the middle of Feb. I still expected the course to drain better than it was. Very soggy. I'm sure summer play is much nicer. Overall a great course.

Ghost Creek

Besides a bit of bad weather for a few holes, the play at GC was great. Got a bit sloppy in the fairway/rough after the rain it seemed to dry out pretty well. The grounds were in great condition and green putt true even when wet. I will play this course again at some point. Definitely worth the trip out there at least once.

what's up

We have had a very dry winter and yet the course was very wet, muddy. We had to look for balls forever because the rough was so tall. The greens were slow and bumpy. They need to put in some drainage and sand. This is a course that u just can't play this time of year I guess.

Pumpkin Ridge

The weather was excellent and so was the course. Fairways and greens in top shape. The greens were spring time slow compared to the normal speed of the greens. Great course to play.

Always a fun course to play

Unfortunately it had been raining for days prior and the course doesn't seem to drain as well as others in the area. It was wet and sloppy in places. It was also disappointing that the wind was blowing harder than any time I've every played anywhere which made it tough. However, it's always fun to play Ghost Creek and will definitely do it again.

Not Accomodating at all!

I was very excited to play Ghost Creek after having walked the course many times during local pro-am tournaments.
I arrived an hour early to hit a few balls and hoping to get off a little early from my 12:10 tee time because I had to referee a basketball game at 5:30 in St. Helens.
It looked promising, one person was on the driving range and nobody was playing the course or waiting to tee off at 11:00 AM.
I explained to the attendant at the pro shop that I had a basketball game to referee and asked if we could tee off a little early. He said NO, that the tee time was purchased through golf now at a discount rate and because of that, we had to wait until 12:10 to play. The only other people on the course was a threesome, which they sent off right in front of my twosome. They were walking and we were riding in the cart.
Play was slow, the ground was still soaked and any ball that was hit even a few feet off the fairway plugged, never to be found. We went through a dozen balls between the two of us and only played 14 holes because I had to get to my basketball game.
I could understand if the course was busy, them not letting us tee off early, but there was just one other group playing that day and they put the 3 some that was walking right in front of us.
With the course being that wet, it was not any kind of bargain at all with the discounted rate due to balls plugging and never being found. I would definitely not play there again under those conditions, wait til the course dries out!!
So between the wet conditions (it was not raining the day we played and had not rained for a few days prior) and the very unfriendly staff member, this experience was a definite let down.

Great course with some caveats.

Played on a moderately nice day given the winters in the Pacific Northwest. We played in a threesome on a GolfNow Hot Deal Rate on a Sunday after 2-3 days of pretty steady rain. Check in went great, no problems, very friendly staff. The clubhouse has an "exclusive" feel about it if you get my drift. Hit a few range balls at their nice range with good mats, loaded up and set off.

Play was good given the conditions and the course has plenty of challenges for you. We were warned that holes 4 and 6 were going to be our "wettest" on a day like this and the pro shop attendant wasn't lying. We had balls plug everywhere and it made finding balls very difficult in many situations. Greens played true but due to the massive rains before, earthworms were littered all about the greens. Made for some interesting putts. Either clear the path or putt with some protein in the way that could mess with the roll. Couple of crows tried to raid our carts when we were observing the cart path only rule for obvious reasons when we were across the fairways. Deer were abundant and unafraid. Beautiful course and even more beautiful when you throw in rainbows and a sun on the horizon.

The course was muddy pretty much everywhere, but we made the most of it. Creeks and ponds litter the course which makes you plan accordingly. The drainage could be much better outside of the greens which held up great. We all said that this course would be a very challenging joy in the spring/summer when it wasn't so soaked. We'll be back... Sometime.

Nice course, but watch out for weather

Nice course for summer, but not worth playing during winter season as the fairways will be full of rain fall and walking will require some extra skills to get out of muddy water.
