Eastmoreland Golf Course

The course was not in tip top shape, but it's February. A little soggy due to past rain. It is such a visual and challenging course, especially the back nine. Play was slow. A real value compared to other courses in the area.

Ground was muddy due to recent rain, but the front 9 Marshall didn't take that into consideration as he told us we were taking too long to the point that he was downright rude about it. Even though he was long winded during the inconsiderate scolding. The guy is obviously retired but shouldn't be put in charge of anyone or anything. Back 9 marshal was friendly and had no qualms about him whatsoever.

We enjoyed great fall view around the course, several water hazards, especially 168 ft crossing pond in the 17th were very well designed and maintained.

I've lived in Portland for many years and this course has gotten better each year. It's not long by any standard, but it has quite a few holes that will challenge your shot making skills. Plenty of doglegs and elevation changes make for a good test of golf, especially from the back tees. The greens are slopped, undulating, and varu greatly in size. Playing to the correct side of the greens is key to score well. The fairways aren't always perfect, especially in wet conditions but the greens were great and rolled very true. Overall I greatly enjoyed the round.

We arrived early and the starter was very accommodating in getting is off early. Staff and other golfers all very polite!
The course is a little dry in places but this is to be expected after all the heat. Greens were fast and in good condition.

Course was in poor condition compared to past. Fairways were butchered, grass around the creeks was tall and unsightly and the goose droppings were a problem on the back nine.

I know it was a holiday but it should never take six hours to play a round of golf. 10minute wait at least on each hole

Playing under pouring rain. Water cover the greens can not walk on. Even the starter agreed about the condition. Call golfnow people and the pro shop person told it was sunny and playable. He was inside. How could he knows the condition outside?

We had the 2nd tee time in the Morning at East Mooreland, originally we weren't paired up, but because the course had over booked we were paired up with another two some. The course itself was excellent, but I couldn't get over how busy the course was at daybreak. I still recommend the course, it is sweet, but there was a line at the 1st tee box before daybreak! Incredible traffic at the course, no wonder, its in excellent shape. Firm and fast greens, tight fairways and mature trees are the highlights of this course. They are all in great shape. If you spray your drives, you will probably not love this course, because the mature evergreen trees line every fairway.

Played 7:30 am. Course in good shape, very few geese, even less goose feces. Greens very deceptive. Range is typical, service okay. The pins were very challenging the day we played. A few high risk/high reward shots, but pretty straightforward otherwise. A decent challenge but you need to hit the fairways.

Played the course at 6PM and almost got in all 18 before dark - had to skip two holes
At night the pace of play is great.
I plan to play again at twilight.

Would like to see an improvement in watering and taking care of the grass in the fairways. Many bare and/or dry spots. Understand it's a public course but .....
Pace of play was surprisingly good for a Saturday afternoon.

My major complaint is that the geese have taken over the back 9 on this course. Very sad situation. This is a great old course that is maintained well, but the abundant goose refuse is so distracting..., I don't know if I'll bother to play it again.
Have played this course over the past three years and the problem has not improved. Sorry.

The best thing about my day at this course was the company of my friends. When I showed up and presented my golf now coupon the cashier/golf pro made a snide remark about golf now. I didn't need that at 6 in the morning. If it wasn't for the company of good friends I would have left.

thanks so much for the great golf at Eastmoreland I only live a short distance and plan many more rounds

Played terrible, but course in good shape. Rain threatening, so not many people out. We were neither delayed nor pressed.

Golf Now worked just fine. I got checked in at the golf course and directions to the first tee and driving range. The problem started when I checked in with the starter. The "threesome" I was paired with brought a fourth. I was told I would have to wait until the next available tee time. I don't know how but the starter got me and two others out next.
Just a little frustrating.

This course has a great reputation. But I just don't get it. The conditions are mediocre. The layout is boring on the front nine. There's only really one challenge on this older course—trees. Lots of them. There are more trees than golf course here. Stay in the fairway. A shot even on the side of the fairway or a just a couple feet into the rough can leave you with. No shot at all more often than not.

The greens are very tough. They are small with big slopes and were fast. But they were also bumpy.

Eastmoreland is totally over rated to me. I'm not a fan. I'd much rather play heron lakes great blue, rose city, Redtail, stone creek, chehelem glenn or the oga course.

I have not played Eastmorland in quite a few years. It is a very pretty course with solid golf holes. The condition was very good, especially for a muni that gets plenty of play and the staff was very friendly. The only issue was the pace of play. For a 10:22am tee time a 5 hour round is annoying. Lucky it was a beautiful day.

I think the course at Eastmoreland is great. It is challenging without being too tough for high handicappers to enjoy. The greens were being worked on and that was the only real complaint I had about conditions. The course has a few hills so if you're walking, it's a bit of a workout.
The course is really schizophrenic.There are some really beautiful holes and some not so picturesque one (especially adjacent to railroad tracks). Some holes like 7 & 9 are pretty tough. Some like 15 pretty easy. There is some water but not too much, not a ton of sand.
The chipping and putting are is great. Lots of room to practice all kinds of shots. Driving range is pretty much like most every driving range you see.
I have never found the staff to be terribly friendly or helpful. Not bad, just not good. The food is pretty average but the beers and bar is great. Nice outdoor seating are overlooking the 10th tee.
You can do a lot worse but if I had to choose a public course in Portland, Heron Lakes wins hands down.
