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 course with one "blemish"

My friends and I play here often and really enjoy the layout and difficulty...with one exception. It seems all to often the pins are set as if making them extra difficult is the goal, and it has been this way for years. A few pins tucked, or on a crown, or at a ridge, is just fine, but when the vast majority are this way, it starts to detract from the overall enjoyability of play.

We will continue to play here, but really wish they would think carefully about what they are trying to do with pin positions

Mettle Test

This course requires you to be patient and play every shot separate from your last. Lose focus and the course will bite you. One of my favorite courses anywhere.

Difficult course to walk

There are many grade changes, steep cart trails, you need to be in top shape to walk, however the conditions of the course make up for the walking challenges. If you want to score you need to have your "A" game. I highly recommend , a great course

Blustery Sunday

First time experience…well designed course with lots of elevation changes & quite appealing visually., Very quick round(2 hr. 45 min) because intermittent showers all day kept customers away.
Course conditions were very good for mid-May however, the greens were shaggy to slow in some spots. Looks like they have some issues with maintaining consistency (greens on front nine were much slower than back nine). Some holes #9, 10, 11, and 12 for first time players could use some explanation since the elevation changes made for some blind shots. Otherwise, a beautiful and challenging course. High handicappers might want to choose something easier.

a good walk not spoiled

This is a challenging course and a lot of fun. There's a good selection of tee boxes so you don't have to be intimidated by the length . We walked and it was quite a work out. Beautiful area and a beautiful golf course

Tough greens

Very fast, lots of undulations, one temporary green on back side. Some other course work going on, but otherwise it was a great course to play. The 15 bucks per person for a cart (18 holes) seems high, but not having a cart makes for a long day. The 18 hole walk across all that elevation change (and there is a lot) wouldn't be as much fun as with a cart.

Beautiful, Challenging, Novice beware!

This is a beautiful course, one of the nicest in the Portland area, and an excellent value - greens fees are half what you would expect to pay at comparable courses.

Greens and fairways are well maintained and the course stays reasonably playable even in our Pacific Northwest rainy season - a boon for the all-seasons golfer like myself.

For the intermediate-advanced amateur, this is a true challenge. From the back tees, a true 72 rating. Plenty of risk/reward shots and course management strategy plays a major role here.

But this course will eat the unsuspecting novice alive. If you don't have a trustworthy 185+ yard club off the tee, you'll be visiting a lot of drop zones (which are not nearly as well groomed as the rest of the course).

The course is also physically challenging to walk with lots of deep ravines to cross - I recommend riding your first time - they have very nice power carts.

I was a little disappointed in recent changes made to the 9th hole. It used to be a truly monstrous par 4 requiring a precisely shaped, 220+ yard draw off the tee followed by a long approach to a very elevated and well guarded green to get home in two. It used to be Chahalem Glenn's signature hole and if you ever managed to par it, you knew you had accomplished something truly special.

Facilities are clean and neat, staff are friendly folk, and there is a good driving range and practice green.

course was under repair

I would have appreciated it if at check in I was told that the course's fairways were being plugged since I was only able to play 16 holes but paid for 18. This should have been advertised on the web site.

This is a Full featured Coursee.

I liked it a lot,. the staff is very friendly and helpful. Course is in good shape,.Would be a hard walk for seniors with any walking problems. There are lots of elevation changes, long carries over gullies and sensitive Area. The views of great scenery are good. For Walkers in the spring the course is very soft, and in some places muddy.

Great shape

Beautiful day with course conditions to match. Limited restroom facilities and no water on course are the only negatives. Spendy for winter rates but in such good condition on a well designed course that it was worth it.

Very fun course to play. Holes 6, 9, 11, 12 are tricky off the tee. Well drained in the winter when you can also get some good deals.

Nice course!

1st time playing here, the course is very well maintained. Greens were recently aerated, and were a bit bumpy. Very pretty, scenic back nine. Look forward to playing here again soon.

Beautiful course, good value

My wife,her sister and her husband,and myself,played the course on 8/27/13, and had a great time. The course was in very good shape. There are a couple of holes that are a bit long for the average golfer,and acouple that are laid out strangely,but, overall it is a very beautiful,and enjoyable course. We would definitely play the course again!
