Eastmoreland Golf Course

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.

I haven't played here for several years. But I was pleasantly surprised about how good the course conditions were. Eastmoreland is a great layout and a must-play when you visit Portland.

I really like this course, it has something for everyone.

I've been playing this course for 30 years, just a classic urban design by NW legend Chandler Egan. Easy to walk. You have to position your shots around this tree lined track.
Greens were top dressed so speed of putts was hard to judge. Course is still soft, so play the appropriate tees for your ability. Just a nice time on a good weather day.

Course is lined with old trees, water in play on a few holes. Greens are hard to read, even for regulars. So lag putting is a must. Great deals on Pro Shop clothes. Food and beverages were a good deal.

I was pleasantly surprised about the condition of the golf course. The greens were amazingly fast, and played great!! Very true greens for so early in the golf season.

We will be back for sure.....

Everything worked like it should have - from reservations to starting on time. The special discount made it a good experience even if conditions were a little wet from previous prolonged rainfall. Lots of road noise on quite a number of holes but not much one can do about that.

Eastmoreland is always a great course to play: challenging, friendly staff, great conditions and nice facilities.

The only complaint about this round was that (I think) because it was a nice day, the course seemed to be overloaded with people waiting to start on the first hole. We booked our tee time for four people at 12:52pm and were able to tee off about 1:15pm. At each tee box, we would arrive to see the group in front of us waiting to tee off. Average wait time at each tee was about 7-10 minutes. Once we hit the back nine, and there were less groups making the turn, we were able to play at a reasonable pace.

The greens were very smooth and speedy! This is a very difficult course.

Playing Eastmorland in the fall time can be challenging because of the amount of leaves that fall onto course always trying to find ball in pales of them.

Overall my experience at East Moreland was a great value for the money. The course laid out nice and plays challenging shots. I like it when you have to make 2 or 3 golf shots on a hole and East Moreland offers that.
The greens where maintained excellent. My only dislike, like so many courses in PDX was goose poo.- Not a deal breaker for sure, but an annoyance. Give the course a 7 out of 10

Beautiful old-school course. Easy walk, but slow pace due to always very busy...guess that tells you something about what a nice course with reasonable rates it is!

We were worried about the weather system that came through that morning, but by the time we got out there it was fine. There was some computer malfunction at the pro shop, but they let us go off without a problem.

We got a good deal for green fee.
However we had to quit to play after the front half since the course is crowded. It took us over two hours and half for front half.
We tried to get a rain check for the other half but we could not get it since we had gotten the tee time through Golf Now.

It was unusual to be flagged by a marshall on the second hole for not keeping up with the group in front as we didn't have much of a chance to adjust our pace.We managed to stay right behind the group in front for the remainder of the round. On the sixteenth hole a ball sailed right past the head of my nephew.
When we mentioned it to the group behind, the alleged shooter became verbally abusive. It then became apparent that he had intentionally taken aim at us because he thought we were playing too slow. We may have been a little slow, but I don't believe that is the correct way to handle that situation. Someone could have been seriuosly hurt by this act of "golf rage." I thought golf was a gentlemen's sport??

The course is always in great shape(where you hit your ball, some of the edges where you might walk to the next tee might have some extra water or whatever). The only drawback to the course is the ample amount of duck/goose droppings (golfnow said P**p was an inappropriate word..). You will need to hose off your cart at the end of your round and your shoes too.

The only real problem is the EGO golfers from the blue tees at twilight who can only hit to the red tees or under 150 yards from the blue(back ) tees. My dad was worm-burning further then these "look the part" golfers were hitting their drives. We all know the guys who have to play from there, and have to look for their ball in the out of bounds deep deep stuff, then drop the ball and kick it further onto the course for a better lie, or take 2-3 drives because of two previous red tee drive lengths. They do have an evening marshall but since it's twilight the skill level is not expected to be high and shouldn't be, but starting at 3pm and ending at 8:30 is not good....

other then that please play this course, is almost 100 years old and has some amazing holes and fun challenging layout not seen very often now. Very unique layout and fun and easy to walk or ride.
