Golfer Reviews
Foggy & Soggy
I love this course, and I play it at least 5-6 times in the summer. This time however was super foggy for most of the day. The course was also very wet. Even if you saw your ball land you couldn't fine it unless you're standing on top of it. Plugged all the way.
The course was scenic in the rain
The North course was in good shape, but the drainage could be better..pretty muddy in parts.
The Reserve (North)
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 private/public course 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 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. The Reserve is definitely one of my favorite all-time places to play. For the $$$ difference, I would take The Reserve over Pumpkin Ridge even though Pumpkin Ridge is also one of my all-time favorite courses.
No Bunker Play Today
Played well with no bunker trouble through 18 holes.
Raining to start the round and had been raining for the last 5 or 6 days. Conditions were wet but not too bad.

Perfect fall day
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!!!
nice 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.
Great Course
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.
Great Greens
The overall condition of the course was very good. The greens where consistent and true from green to green make it much more enjoyable.
Lower the green fees!
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.
best course in Portland
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.
no course management
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.
Way too Slow
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.
North course
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.
Never a disappointment
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.
Can't wait for better weather
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.
Not as wet as expected!
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.
