Rating 73.4

Chehalem Glenn Golf Club sprawls across beautifully hilly terrain, providing a course that is not for the faint of heart. The course is defined by the dramatic changes in elevation, which can make it tough to walk. The steep hills make this a tough golf course even for high handicappers. Uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies abound and you'll also face forced carries to narrow landing areas as well as blind layup shots. The more open front nine is player friendly and the back nine is where it gets tougher with mostly tree-lined holes and more strategically placed bunkers. The golf course is as scenic as it is challenging with elevated tees and greens that overlooks the surrounding hills and valleys. The beauty and difficulty of the course has built Chehalem Glenn Golf Club a reputation as one of the greater Portland area's must-play courses.

Great Value

The course is always in great condition and the staff is great. There are some visually intimating holes that aren’t as difficult as they appear from the tee box. Good challenge for intermediate to good golfers.

Summer might me on the way?

On a perfect weather Thursday the course played like a champion. Well groomed greens and trimmed fairways made this for the most enjoyable day of golf this year. The pace was good for most of the day until we hit number 10, not a problem since the issue were older golfers. I’m also there so I cannot bash older, but I can make a plug for younger golfers unaware of the etiquette of playing up to the group in front of you! Keep the pace!

I will be back soon!

Challenging Beauty

Come correct early on this course because it don’t get any easier as you go. Great layout, many challenges including tight layups on par 4s, elevation changes and plenty of penalty areas in case you need more to think about. Friendly staff and a good pace of play too. I’ll be back

Elation at elevation

This course is a great track at a reasonable price. I will have to get in better shape to walk it next time, though. The elevation changes were marvelous for play, but not for walking. Get the power cart and enjoy the views from tee to landing area.

long and steep

great course. best greens I've played in the portland area. somehow they are fast while still being soft enough to land a ball on without bouncing off.

note to others his course is long with lots of hills. I clocked it at 7.44 miles with 466 feet of vertical ascension. if your not used to long hilly conditions i would recommend a cart.

Good day for golf

First off, I was almost late for my tee time because the address provided through GolfNow took me to the back of the course inside a subdivision. After I searched on line, the directions got me to the clubhouse about 5 minutes later.

The course was ok. Still nice, but the weather challenged the mowers this week. Fairways were a little shaggy. Greens and fringe were great. THere was one group holding up play about 3 groups ahead of us. It could have been a little faster. Overall this is a great course to play and a good value. Staff is excellent.

Diamond in the rough

Back nine is amazing. Away from it all with a picturesque backdrop. Front nine in a neighborhood but still great layout. Greens were in great shape. Sand traps were unattended to. That’s the only negative.

Avoided the rain

Course was in great shape and even with the rain the night before, soggy spots were hit and miss. Greens coming in very well and putting true. Myself and 2 other golfers had a great time. Not crowded at all. We tee'd off shortly before 11am and we're in the car heading home about 3pm. Beat the rain by an hour. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a challenging course with some pretty tough holes. Length from the whites is about 6k yrds

Great course for the money

Sand bunkers need attention. You basically have to create your own lie whenever you get in one. Tee boxes were in pretty tough shape but it is early in the year and I expect it to get better.

Gimmicky

I started playing this course in October 2022. Every weekend I play the price is different. I play at the same time each weekend. Just played it and when I booked my tee time they said the greens were just sanded. I asked if there was a discount and he said there was. Upon check in, there wasn't.

Also, every garbage can on the course was overflowing with garbage, even the one at the entrance to the pro shop, which had garbage on the ground around it. It's also time to put rakes back on the course by the traps.

Play can be extremely slow at times. The problem is that there is a lot of distance between holes and when you are behind a group that is walking, it gets slow.

I like the course, but there needs to be more attention to detail. If that were done, then it would be a much more enjoyable golf experience.

Golf season on the way!

Hard to believe but I played 18 holes alone! No rain, recently aerated and sanded greens made putting even more of a challenge. I know it has to be done but I don’t have to enjoy it. It appeared that this was a day for mowing the areas in between the fairways and thank goodness on a couple drives! Overall the course is in very good shape getting ready for a long golf season, we all hope.

About 14,000 or so steps to walk, great golf and workout.
