Length 6744 yards
Slope 140
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.

Bang for the Buck!

This is the eighth most difficult course in Oregon and should be very crowded, but is in a remote area so many people don't think about playing here. the course is long, but the fairways are generous. I played this course for 15 bucks! What a steal!

This course requires your best.

Got a great Hot Deal for two of us. Considering all the prior rain, it plays very good in the fairways as well as the greens. The greens were in excellent shape. Where as most of the bunkers were in tough shape with wash outs, etc. As usual, this course is kept in great shape, even in the winter.

Winter golf

This is my home course and one of my favorites. Keep in mind it's winter and rained throughout my round with no breaks. The rough was brutal, +2 clubs due to weather. 2 balls plugged, but to be expected. Fairways were drenched even with the course's good drainage. Sand traps were unplayable, and the fairway trap on 10 has leaked into the fairway. Greens were slow, but smooth. Overall great playability considering the weather. Other than Langdon, probably the only course that is even playable in the willamette valley

Careful using Groupon here!

My golf group plays here 4 or 5 times a year. We get carts and play 18. Usually we spend $50 or so a piece for golf, food, and drinks. Pretty reasonable for 4 retired guys.
We used a Groupon recently, and at the last minute a guy dropped out. I asked Brandon at the desk if I could get a raincheck for 18 holes. Not money back, just a credit and we'd all come back and play again some day.
I thought that was reasonable and good customer service. Brandon didn't agree and refused the raincheck. That poor customer service sort of spoiled the round for us.
Over the course of the round, we decided there were plenty of golf courses around, and we'd take out recreational money elsewhere.
Brandon's decision to not work with us cost the course around $1000 per year that we would spend there. That's quite a bit of money compared to the simple act of offering a raincheck.

Always great!

The best thing that I have always raved about this course is the playing conditions! From tee to green conditions are great! If this course was any closer to I5... wouldn't be able to walk on.
Best bang for the buck. When I take time to go play, I play there!

Played in 3 hours!

Tee'd off at 6:45am...first off with only having to wait for the groundskeepers to finish preparing a few holes! Very friendly staff. Beautiful weather with the hot air balloons taking off over the course. Challenging course, but also offers huge opportunities for birdies. Course was in great shape and well kept up by the staff.

Very nice except

I have played here many time and enjoy this course.
The staff are always friendly and helpful.
The facilities are well kept.
I ride a cart here as the walk can be challenging due to the elevation changes.
They are very inconsistent and difficult to gauge as many times there will not be much sand so you end up blading the ball. I do not have trouble playing bunker shots and have played 3 local courses this week but nobody has bunkers as poor as these.
I wish they would fix them!

Tough course

The changes in elevation along with bunkers placed cleverly will test your ball flight accuracy and distance control on nearly every hole. Some holes even have deep ravine or dry creek running across them. Greens were great even after 2 months of dry weather. We thoroughly enjoyed it and suggest strongly renting a cart.

This course is worth playing.

The course was in excellent shape. There was lots of roll on the fairways and the greens were great. It is extremely challenging for an 18 handicapper but it is still fun. I have played here several times and have never broken 90. This last time, I shot 90 and would have broken 90 but a few of the pin placements were very tricky and I ended up with three 3-putts. I would recommend this course and I do plan to play there again!

No more par 5 on #12

I still think hole #9 is gimmicky. They did make one very good change, they made #12 a par 4 and turned 17 into a par 5....much better! Course was playing ok, the greens were a bit on the slow side.

Course played very well. Would recommend a power cart as there is considerable elevation change, especially on the back nine. Definitely a challenging course. Greens were firm and undulating.

Challenging Course , Fun toPlay

One of my favorite courses in Portland Metro Area.Good condition, good pace of play, lots of elevation changes ( I like ) . And a reasonable price for such a good course. I play this course often.Others I like , Reserve South and North , OGA , Langdon Farms and Pumpkin Ridge . Those are the courses I play most often.

Fun Course Could Use Better Greens

I have played Chehalem Glenn several times and I am a fan of the course. It's a fun track and the changes they've made to holes #9 and #12 make sense for the daily round. The course is always in pretty good shape and is walkable if you don't mind a bit of a workout on a few holes. The one major hit against the course are the greens. I have no issue with the design of the greens but they are terribly slow. If they sped up the greens to a reasonable pace, this course would be very good and I would play it more often.
