Mt. Hood Oregon Resort

Played the blues on the Foxglove/Pine Cone combo (70.4/126/6239) in 4H, 15M with a nice husband/wife on a Golf Now Hot Deal for $22 including a cart. The weather was great, mid 70's, clear with little wind.

These are some of the best and smoothest greens I have putted on recently. Hard to believe they were aerated 2 weeks ago? The greens were medium fast, smooth and firm. They putted very well with few ball marks.

The fairways were generally lush and well maintained.

There is not alot of rough here, what rough they have is generally lush and well maintained. 1/2 shot penalty, difficult to hit more than a middle iron out of. The reason that there isn't that much rough to rate is because if you miss the fairway by more than 5-7 yards on a good percentage of the holes, you are in a hazard or out of bounds.

The tees were recently aerated which did not affect their play ability, just the way they looked. The tees on Pine Cone #5 are artificial turf because they are cut well back in the woods where there is little sun coming through the thick, tall trees to grow grass. It makes for a really cool looking tee shot coming out of the tree lined darkness into the sun drenched fairway.

The traps were decently maintained with fluffy sand. However, the sand is not deep enough, there is hardpan lurking too close to the surface.

Started on the Foxglove (par 36, 3066 from the blues). I did not use a wood the entire 9. The first hole is a short, fairly tight par 4. However, #1 is probably the most wide open hole on the entire 9. Nearly every hole was about 40 yards across from hazard to hazard, you had about a 30 yard wide fairway with 5 yards of rough on each side and then it was either OB or a red staked hazard where your ball is just gone, calf to knee deep sticker bushes. With every hole being very narrow, with hazards down both sides of the hole from tee to green and behind the green, this is by FAR my least favorite of their three 9's.

Finished up with the Pine Cone (par 36, 3173 from the blues). While it had a few tight holes, I finally got to use a driver on all the par 4's & par 5's. More "normal" golf holes w/o hazards down both sides and behind the green. Good mixture of holes, more up down and several holes turned more than moderately. Instead of hazards down down sides, you got a reprieve on one side of many holes... if you call 50' to 100' tall trees from tee to green a reprieve. It was more interesting and playable in my opinion. This is my favorite of the three 9's.

They only have nets to warm up on, no driving range. Two putting greens. The customer service from the pro shop to the starter was top notch. Nice clubhouse and an excellent grill/restaurant that is priced about what you would expect @ a golf course.

The overall course conditions & spectacular views make this place definitely worth playing in spite of an overall average layout. I say average because there are too many par 4's & par 5's that are lay-up holes for longer hitters unless you can really thread the needle. A few in 27 holes = a good variety, but when it's approaching a double figure amount of holes out of 27, I have to downgrade the course layout. And I am an aggressive player, when I am telling you these are lay-up holes, trust me, they are lay-up holes!

My father in law and I played Thistle and then Fox Glove. We were the first group on the course and the greens were already groomed and in great shape. Course was in excellent condition and staff were very friendly and helpful. When we started playing the second 9 we were behind 3 groups of friends moving very slowly. They were kind enough to let us play through. We had a fun day on this course and I recommend it to any level of player. Scenery was awesome!

The course is in great shape and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The greens are fast and the fairways are narrow so if you don't hit strait you might want to bring a few extra balls. Fun course to play with a lot of beautiful scenery. We saw 5 deer on the course yesterday .

I played 3 times this past week and played the three 9 hole courses twice. My favorite is Foxglove. Pine Cone is the most forgiving, Thistle is more challenging and Foxglove is the most challenging. My initial contact with the staff where I paid rack rate was not the best, but the 2nd and 3rd times were excellent when Brandon was behind the desk. The greens roll true and overall the courses are very playable and very enjoyable.

We played this course for the first tjme and we loved the views from just about every hole. The pace of play was good and the tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in nice condition. On most of the holes you have to carry your approach shot all the way to the green because of well placed bunkers or elevated greens. We enjoyed our day very much at this beautiful course.

Great course, friendly staff, excellent value. I would recommend this course for any player of any skill type.

Very disappointing course. Squeezed in to to small an area. No driving range. No direction signs between holes .

Would not return

great fun,beautiful surrounding,challenging play, players will enjoy the course all 3

Been too course twice this year haven't been able to play fox glove be nice if it was open for play regularly.

The course was in great shape, although too hilly for Tme to walk. The greens although a little slower than I'm used to they were in excellent shape and rolled true. The views are wonderful! There were deer everywhere, bring your camera. Well worth the money

Poor yardages. Flew several greens, had two gps devices and they rarely matched the course yardages. I believe yardages are overstated to make course appear longer. Did not see any usga gam markers.

This is a rally good, moderate level course with some really breathtaking views. The 3 nines tend to run in to each other a bit and it's easy to get confused where the next hole is on Thistle and Pine Cone.
The only real downside here is pace of play. We were behind a group and we waited on nearly every shot as did the group behind us and the group behind them. There was a marshall but we only saw him on the 2nd hole. Why do golf courses fail to handle this problem? Which is worse, risk upsetting a group of inexperienced golfers by having people play through or anger the faster (more experienced?) golfers by failing to deal with it.
At $57 for 18 undiscounted, much better deals to be had down the hill in Portland and there aren't many discounts available.
The people were great there, very helpful and nice. This is a great course, just not quite worth the cost.

The course was in great shape. Greens and fairways were kept in line with some of the top courses I've played.

A nice looking course. Played Pinecone to Foxglove. Pinecone was easier although had a few tricky holes when playing from the blue tees. Foxglove was longer and holes that were shorter were a lot narrower. Overall had a great time playing. Staff was very friendly.

The course is in phenomenal shape, and offers enough challenge for most (if one can stop gawking at the scenery. Each nine is totally different and the course offers an enjoyable golf experience. My favorite place to play!

Very well maintained. Greens are fast and challenging. Course layout very interesting with variable terrain, trees and some water. Great place to spend a day on the links!

We normally make it up here a couple times per year. This time conditions were great! Perfect weather in the 70's! We were able to get a hot deal for 18 holes with a cart so cost was half of normal rates. Only issue was that the staff is not very friendly they seem confused about the hot deal. Half way through the back nine the cart guy stopped us asking questions about the reservation and kept asking for the receipt that the club house guy never gave us after taking the reservation info from us. So unorganized stuff makes playing up there confusing.

This was my first time playing the course, Pinecone/Thistle, even though I've had a vacation home in the area for almost 10 years.

The setting/scenery is the best part of it. Greens were soft and well kept, fairways were like carpet, and rough was often on the brutal side.

Everyone was friendly, and pace moved quickly, although it was not exactly peak time. I will be back, and hope to play the Foxglove course.

Such a beautiful day and a beautiful course! Challenging and fun.

The three nines each offer different challenges. The course is always in terrific shape. Greens are true, and some are small and flat some are large with plenty of challenging slopes. Love this place
