Great opportunities to use all the clubs in your bag

This course is filled with hills and valleys. Not an easy course for a novice player. We truly enjoyed it. We will play this course again

A great day on a fine course

Easy check in with friendly staff, offered nice course book. Our twosome was paired and we all enjoyed a great, well-paced round on this challenging up and down course with well maintained tee boxes, bunkers, fairways and greens. The greens were fast, with lots of break and variable depth and width. Holes 1 and 5 restricted carts to the paths, but that was no problem. This is a fantastic public course, definitely in top ten percentile. A great bargain on Golf Now. We'll be back! We did not visit the lounge.

Portland Golf Course

Overall, the course was in great condition. The carts were on the slow side, but other than that, the course was in great shape. The font 9 moved a lot quicker than the back 9, so it was an average paced round.

This course is a great value

From the tee boxes to the greens this course is in great shape. This course offers a challenge with blind tee shots. Dollar for dollar one of the better courses to play in the area.
