Near sunset, the shadows are deep but the colors still vivid from a hill that sidles up to the eighth green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/03/2024
-
The par-3 second presents a more difficult par than meets the eye, as the tee shot should find an elevated and well-protected green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2024
-
The tee shot at hole four, a par-4, is safer down the left side than right. For longer hitters, more open space exists beyond the left-side treeline. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2024
-
Eleven supplies an enticing tee shot into its green, but avoid going long or right at all costs. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2024
-
As seen from the tee, the fifteenth plays uphill to a semi-blind green. Perhaps one of the easier par-3s at PW, unless you hit it long or left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2024
-
The sixteenth may be my favorite par-4 here. The fairway sweeps uphill, then angles gently to the left, demanding an accurate tee shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2024
-
The 17th exemplifies one of the many falloffs near the greens at PW. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2024
-
Large elevation changes are commonplace on Portland West’s back nine. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/06/2023

The view from behind the par-3 twelfth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/06/2023
-
Miss the fifteenth green by too much and you'll find deep trouble. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/06/2023
-
The sixteenth, a short but excellent par-4, concludes on this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/06/2023
-
The approach to eighteen is demanding but fair. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/06/2023
-
The same hole from behind its sprawling double-green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/06/2023

The first hole at Portland West poses a challenge if your goal is par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/21/2023

Two flags appear from the right flank of the second green one the American, the other hanging from a golf pin. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/21/2023
-
As seen from near the eighth green and across the pond, the fourth hole edges the property’s eastern border. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/21/2023
-
The par-4 sixth hole is both tough and good-looking; a view to its green complex. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/21/2023
-
At the closing eighteenth, a threesome prepares to finish their round. Holes nine and eighteen share this double green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/21/2023
-
This short par-3 at the second plays uphill over a huge left-side trap (hidden from view here). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
Four is the one easy par-4 on this front nine, unless you drift a bit right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
The look at Portland West is pure parkland and well-groomed. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
Six: After a thunderstorm, this challenging par-4 looked amost eerie at 3 pm. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
Greenside view of six: The darkened look, however, was all but gone less than five minutes later. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
From the tee, the eighth does not appear at all like a charming little par-3. And it isn’t. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
10th, par-4, 368: On the uphill approach, you may choose to use the bounce from the green’s left side, but not the right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
11th, par-3, 159: It’s fairly clear where you can’t afford to miss this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
The 177-yard 12th demands a superior approach if you hope to end up anywhere near the pin. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
Fifteen, a short, uphill par-3, provides a breather after the three tough holes that precede it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
Sixteen is an attractive drive-and-pitch par-4 offering a birdie opportunity. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
The tough par-3 18th ends on a double green (right). A threesome is seen here playing the green’s other half. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
The par-4 sixth: A great signature hole with a serene pond guarding the fairway’s left side, and two huge bunkers fronting the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2021
-
Nine: Another excellent par-4 that doglegs to the right and ends on a double-green shared with the eighteenth hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2021
-
Eight: A classic and difficult short 3-par, which plays steeply uphill from the tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2021
-
The seventh hole near sunset. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2021

Hole two: Deep greenside bunker will demand lofted shot to escape. Shades of Winged Foot West. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Behind the ninth: This is undoubtedly the toughest hole on the front side, its landing zone between ponds. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Twelve: My favorite hole on the course, and a brute of a short-par three (Wait, is that possible?). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Thirteen: Handsome par-three gives your ball a choice if your approach is short: Grass bunker or sand? Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Splendid scenery at the long par-3 fourteenth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Par-three 18th: Here a forced carry ends your round. But a decent landing area, short of the double green, helps. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
At two, you'll find an accessible short par-3 with a nicely contoured green, set on a small rise. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Five: this green is perched on a sizeable plateau, although it's hard to see from this angle. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Six: a classic mid-length par-4 with abundant hazards to pester you. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Behind the elevated sixth green; its offset fairway lies in the background; the approach traverses frontal bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
This hole brings to mind several Donald Ross par threes I've played. My favorite on the front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Signature touch? Architect Al Zikorus created this double green for holes 9 & 18, incorporating the use of a large pond for both holes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
One example of the well-sited greens at PW, here at par-4 10th. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2020

I Recommend This Course
Great Course
This Par 60 course was in great shape (tees, fairways and greens) and the day we played, the weather was super for Oct. The course was not busy and we played 18 in 3 hrs, very relaxing, nice scenery and great staff. I'll be back.

an enjoyable afternoon.
I like the course, it's always well maintained. Great for the irons workout but can be a little slow depending on those in front of you. The course tends to draw a lot of beginners and slower population.

Nice course for an executive course however it played very slow
Usually this is a nice short course - First 4 holes are very simple about 100 yards straight but then the course does get a little interesting. However I played on a Saturday this time and it played so slow. Waiting on every hole at least 5 minutes.
