Emerald Portlandia
With the turf problems (mostly) addressed, Chambers Bay can again be recognized as one of the greatest muni courses in the country.
Pumpkin Ridge is still a tier above everything else in the Portland area. This is a "top 100 public" course that really should have more national recognition.
This course has hosted USGA and NCAA events. It's a classic northwest course with water, woods, and picturesque vistas everywhere.
Salish Cliffs is always in GREAT condition, and while it can be very challenging it remains one of the most entertaining courses in all of Washington State.
The Reserve Vineyards has everything - the architectural pedigree, the location, and past pro tour events. The South is the better of the two courses.
Just north of the Columbia River, tucked back into a great woodlands setting, this Washington course is actually a "local favorite" for Portland golfers.
Now that this location has hosted national amateur events and proven its chops, the Home Course is a high quality and entertaining test of your golf game.
In Oregon wine country, this location winds over hills, across fields, through trees, and has a feature more places need - a family friendly putting course.
Once again, great destinations are defined by the fact that their "second" course is great on its own, and the North is a prime example of this fact.
A course that feels like it's almost in downtown Portland, this strong layout with some surprising great holes gets busy for good reason.
Lucky Oregonian golfers - their club's official golf course is also a premier track, challenging, interesting, fair, and fun.
