This golf course is quite difficult.Price is standard. They do over book. You often have a 5 hour play. Good snack shop and a great restaurant is on site for happy hour after your game. If you are a weekend golfer try the new yellow tees. Really helps your score!
Easy to get on, I'm a bogey golfer on a good day and the course is kept in fairly good condition as far as I've ever been able to tell. The restaurant Stock Pot there is good for a drink and appetizer after a round. There's a full restaurant that looks very good too but haven't hit that yet.
The course is fun and challenging. A great public course - well maintained, and a challenge for golfers of all levels. Back 9 is pretty hilly and has a lot of up and downs and water.Lessons here are excellent - state of the art facility, and will definately take a few strokes off your game, no matter your skill level.
We have had dinner once and lunch several times. The menu is fun, with plays on the old standards that freshen them up. Lunch menu items include Korean tacos, fish tacos, hamburgers and more. The view of the golf course from the patio is very relaxing, and the staff if great.
I truly do. For a Municipal course I find it VERY well kept & a solid tough course,..not a cheaper gimiky short course like Broadmore, Colewood. And I think it's definitely a step up & tougher than East Moreland or Quail Run types of course.Many people bang on this course as either too crowded or to "tough" (greens). But I play this course 15+ times a year & love the challenge. Yes the greens are tough (sometimes really tough pin placements) and huge but that it feel like you're playing a course maybe just a step down from the Reserve or Langdon Farms,...for 1/2 the price!!You can always tailor the course to how you play. I usually play the whites at the beginning of the season where it plays a little easier, but the greens (which can be tough) balance that out,..& by May-ish I'm playing from the blues which can be a good test as my skills improve. They now have you tee off starting on the Back 9, which has improved the pace of play.My feeling is that this course is a good value & good challenge and is like the Reserve North Course Jr....
A beautiful city course nestled amongst towering trees; I haven't golfed there for years, but do enjoy the ambiance and good food in the Stockpot Lounge which is beautifully appointed and has a nice panoramic view of the 18th? hole. If you've gone to Washington Square to shop, I would definitely come here (less than a mile away) for lunch or dinner.
Not too many give-away holes, as you can lose a ball most anywhere here. With a course rating of 72.6 and a slope rating of 130, it is officially demanding from the blue tees. Usually in good shape when they get the border collie to keep the geese away. Greens are nice. Wildlife includes coyotes and bald eagles sometimes. Pro shop staff is friendly but usually very busy selling gear and giving lessons in their massive driving range. Good twilight rates.
Not the best during the summer. Course is difficult and people play that shouldn't on top of that, they play the blues. 18 can take up to 6 hours at times. Get out early and it's okay. Greens are fast often 12-13 rating during summer. Love the layout of holes.
This is where I learned to play golf. They are reasonably priced and I had great private lessons there. This isn't a snooty golf place. Go have fun!
Played RedTail last Friday while up in Portland visiting and really enjoyed 18 at this municipal course in Beaverton. While others have complained of slow play, we didn't experience that during our Friday mid morning starting time round. Pros:Nice design, very fair, with a variety of holes. Not difficult from the whites, surprisingly good course conditions, well stocked pro shop. Great value. Cons:Although the greens were in nice condition and rolled true, they were too slow. Maybe due to the fact that this course seemed to attract its fair share of beginner and higher handicap players. And the course had many of those type of players, at least on the day we played. A tee shot from an adjacent hole hit the top of our cart, and many a "fore" could be heard throughout the day. And it would be nice to have at least the option of warming up on grass, rather than mats. Overall, I'd recommend this course if you're in the Portland area. Challenging, well designed, nice condition all make for a great value course.
