Chehalem Glenn Golf Club

Don't even think about walking this course.
lots of hills, and long walks between tees.
Sand on both sides of fairway from 175-220 on almost every hole.
elevated greens make for blind approach shots.
not a beginners best choice
I enjoyed myself, and will return.

This course is pretty tough, rates about 74-140 from the blue tees. It's a very hilly tract, with similar up and downs like those at Stone Creek. It's mostly tree lined, with a couple of open holes on the front side.
The greens are very undulated, hardly any flat putts. The condition of greens was not great, don't think wet May helped. Hopefully they will heal up quickly.
I would highly recommend this course, though high handicappers will certainly struggle.

I personally really like Chehalem. Their greens are good for a public course, a bit bumpy but still maintained well, as is the rest of the course. It is a challenge to stay in the 70's from the blues/blacks for a mid single digit handicap. This round was not particularly enjoyable as the course was extremely backed up. We did not tee off untill 15 minutes after our tee time and proceeded to wait 35 minutes on the first whole while the group ahead(a family foursome) tried their best to avoid the water below and water left to no avail. The Marshall helped speed along play by asking them to skip the rest of the whole. This expedited the process but I we still waited on every tee box.

Would definitely play again, just avoid peak hours as it will be very slow.

The course setting very hilly making for a challenging layout. There are many fariway as well as greenside traps on the course. On several holes you need to hit over cravaces and hit to layup areas in tight spaces. This is not a course for a beginning golfer. You can play the course many times as i have and not be bored with the layout. As a result of the course difficulty, the pace of play is slow at times. I always take a cart of this course. I enjoy the course.

The course was in great shape. The greens were the fastest I've played this winter. It was forecast to rain, but it was clear. I was the only golfer for most of the morning and played 18 holes in 3 hours, walking.

Difficult to walk, so a cart is a must. Given the traffic hassles to get there, it's a bit overpriced unless a golfnow "Hot Deal" is used. Like most courses in the valley, very little sand was used in construction, so it drains poorly in the winter. But in the summer, it's a blast.

I'ts overpriced if you pay full green fees, especially after negotiating traffic to get there. Nice, challenging layout, but soft and not a good winter course. Back nine is quite hilly, so older players will need a cart.

This is truly great course and we enjoyed very much.
Course was in great condition and course is challenging.
Pretty hilly in couple holes.
One of the best course in Great Portland area.
We definitely want to come back.

Oregon at this time of the year has more rain than sunshine, the course has some soft spots on fairways but the greens are still in good playable and fast condition.

I had a great time walking the course. they are working hard to keep it in good shape. The greens were sandy, but the courses is still a fun place to play.

This is a lovely course & I've played twice here this summer . The price is right, the course is in good shape. Staff was very friendly and even had a woman marshal, which was nice to see. The holes are challenging enough without being punishing. The back 9 is far more hilly than the front and I was glad to be carting. I like that it's outside of Portland but not so far I won't drive down to play. Don't expect a grand club house or restaurant, and if you want a sandwich at the turn, call ahead.

I play OGA often because it is a great meeting place 1/2 way between my golfing partner and I. It is a challenging course. It plays long in the summer, and holds up to the winter rain well.

This is a challenging course. Course knowledge is a great advantage, especially on holes like 6, 9, and 12. Those who like to walk might consider taking a cart. There are some very steep hills. I was a little disappointed in the conditions of the greens. There seemed to be a lot of damage from ball marks that hadn't been repaired or repaired poorly. Some of the bunkers needed to be raked. I would play this course again and would recommend it to someone looking for a strong challenge.

I played this course on a recommendation from a customer of mine. They were a little out of the way from the Portland area but what a nice place. The course was in great shape, the holes were very interesting and it was reasonably priced.
The greens were in great shape and all had rolling "humps" and contours. They putted great but were challenging at times.
The only downside - Small clubhouse, not a place to hang out after a round and have drinks.

Now this is a course I enjoy I'll admit, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to play a challenging round of golf. First, there are elevation changes, a cart is a good idea especially for those who are older or aren't as capable of walking as they used to be.

There are a few forced carries over a gorge off the tee, a few holes where shot placement is a must. In the case of those who can't hit the ball far enough, new forward tee's are being introduced.

Once through the turn, holes 9 to 14, the course becomes easier, wider fairways, green's are easier to hit to, same for holes 1 to 4. Only a few holes will require a shaped shot, hole 9 stands out as a great example of this.

Distance isn't particularly an issue on this course, I'm not a long hitter by any means, only one hole plays as a rule a shot longer than I can manage. Greens are well managed, fairways are well maintained, the course and slope rating will tell you there aren't many flat spots to hit from.

Perhaps the best thing I like about this course is the word is out, it's a tough course, lower standard players won't want to come and lose balls on it. If you want to play it, bring your 'A' game and warm up on the range before hand.

Course layout has holes comming at you on 1/2 of play. Rangers do not know their jobs, therefore play is very slow. Starter changed 10 minute between foresomes to 8 minutes to increase amount of golfers on course. Lots of walkers in between cart foresomes, slowing play. Planes flying around like bugs, very noisy.
This course was recomended by my pro as a diffucult course, but my experience was very bad.
I will not be back.
