The Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club - North Course

2nd time playing the North course. Played the blues (6344/71.7/128) and got in 27 holes in slightly less than 6H, so POP was good, basically 2 hour 9's. $35 w a cart on Golf Now on a Sunday afternoon that was beautiful, partly cloudy, temp in the high 60's, mild breeze.

It has rained up here several days this past week, so the conditions were lush and soft. I was told the greens were being aerated tomorrow. However, they were done last week. They were bumpy & putted medium/slow, which is why the overall course rating is so low. They held approach shots great, almost too well @ times.

The traps were very well maintained, nice, thick sand.

The tees were lush and well maintained.

Both the fairways and rough were lush and well maintained. Not too many divots, didn't have a bad lie AD except when my ball plugged. This is a links style course, so there are traditional areas on almost every hole that is ankle to calf to knee deep that you plain HAVE to avoid. 75% chance lost ball, and on the 25% chance you find your ball, it's a toss-up whether it's an unplayable lie or MAYBE you can whack a wedge out and advance it somewhat.

The cart gal was around 3-4 times, and the customer service from the pro shop, to the starter to the guy who cleans your clubs when you return the cart are all ++.

They have a unique rotating system @ the Reserve. Their two courses change every 15 days between public and private, so the members always have a private course and 36 holes to choose from on a monthly basis. The 2 courses as a whole are top notch, clearly in the upper echelon of places to play in the Portland area. The Reserve is definitely one of my favorite all-time places to play. The North course (37-35 par 72 layout, five par 5's and five par 3's) is more of a links style course, few trees and the tee shot landing areas were pretty generous on most holes. Two of the short par 4's I hit irons off the tee, other than that, there was no question that I was hitting driver on every other par 4 & par 5. Most of the greens are elevated with run-offs on some or all sides.

Many holes have mowed down collection areas and large mounds you have to putt, chip, pitch or lob over or around. Not that many sand traps, I was only in one in 27 holes. The two courses @ the Reserve are SO different, yet both are immaculately maintained.

For the $$$ difference, I would take The Reserve over Pumpkin Ridge even though Pumpkin Ridge is one of my all-time favorite courses.

It was one of those perfect fall days, no clouds no wind, 68 degrees. The course was nearly deserted so it was like playing on our own private course!!!

2nd time playing. first time playing was a pretty quick round, this time was a little slower. Overall time wasnt horrible, but there was a big difference once we hit the back 9 and we had to wait a bit. overall its one of my favorite courses in the area and i would play again.

close to everything but feels like the country. good verity of holes good design

The course is challenging with some long carries. The short par 4's are fun. The greens are immaculate with challenging contours but they run true and fast. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have played there three times this summer on both courses and enjoyed myself each time.

The overall condition of the course was very good. The greens where consistent and true from green to green make it much more enjoyable.

This is a beautiful golf course with exceptional greens and fairways. Played around noon and could only see 3 other groups on the course! For this part of the country, the green fees are too much, even if the course is very nice. Lower your prices and you will fill up the course.

This course was in prime shape. Played a early 730a tee time. Had deal with a little mower noise. But they were respectful and idled down when you are hitting. Greens rolled so pure. I could play this course everyday. Very challenging but fair.

great facility......unfortunately after my twosome teed off on time, starter made us stand on teebox for over 10 minutes for another twosome to join. started 2 1/2 holes behind foursome ahead, and slow play of pairing made us over 4 holes behind by end of 1st 9.
No course marshalls to manage play.

Showed up after booking a hot deal online and prepaid. Assumed I would be paired with a threesome or even a twosome. Starter tried to send me off as a single at 1230 on a Friday afternoon. Needless to say round was ruined. I walked off after 9 holes.

What a waste of money and time.

Beautiful facility but the course is a little tricked up to compensate for it's lack of length on a couple of really short par fours. In fact, much of the back nine seems jammed together including some parallel fairways. Next time I think I'll try the South Course.

This course is in amazing condition. It's a great layout in a truly beautiful setting. Well worth the money! You won't be disappointed if you play here.

I always have a good time playing The Reserve. Both the North Course and South Course are enjoyable and a challenge. The greens were obviously aerated within the passed couple weeks so the greens were a little bumpy but appeared to be healing nicely. The course should be in great shape in the next couple weeks.

Played North course...greens were aerated and sanded but still rolled well... tee to green a little soft in places so really can't wait to see some dry weather and how the greens turn out.

As always, a great course. The back side is short from the blue tees, but there are a few holes that jump up and bite you. Fun track.

Fun course to play. Very interesting hole layouts and beautifully maintained. The North course is the side I like the best. More water, less sand. More unusual hole layouts. The South course is more picturesque.

Thank you for a wonderful time I will be.back soon!!

This course was a challenge and loads of fun. I had to drove about 2 hours and deal with traffic going home, but I would do it again.

While the forecast didn't look favorable we got lucky and stayed dry all day! The course, and especially the greens, was in great shape. We even had some fun banter with the stater who was very friendly... Great day!!!

The fairway condition still good in the winter season but need to figure out after several rainy days. Green still tough and speedy. Good deal with power cart and worth to playing.
