Course is not in playing shape
I’m not sure why they even have this course open. The greens and dirt and cracking. The fairways are overgrown in most areas and the tee boxes are in very poor shape. This course is not in playing condition. I would love my money back or a rain check to another course. Horrible experience
Course conditions
This course was in the poorest of conditions I have ever seen a course. More like playing in a cow pasture. I will not be back until conditions improve. I felt Ike they should have paid us to play it. Definitely not worth what they are charging.
They are signs of course improvements. It’s not as groomed as in previous years. Nice to see 14th hole open.
Mixed bag
The condition of the course is disappointing, especially the tee boxes and the bumpy greens. One of our threesome is a low handicap golfer and I'm pretty sure he won't play there again. However the other player and myself are high handicappers just getting back in the game and we like Cedars for the low pressure and reasonable fees. Plus the wetlands scenery is nice - locals walk the course just for that.. Not for the player serious about their score.
Good layout and setting. Needs a lot of maintenance. My guess is covid and ice storm has had a tremendous impact on the course.
Closed!
Called and made a 7:40 am tee time. We arrive at 7:15. Nobody there. A sign saying closed due to inclement weather. It was sunny and 68 degrees. No heads up that they were closed. No email or phone call. Wasted a drive up there from Oregon City.
We will never be back again.
Getting Better
Still not great but getting better. This course has do much potential. I hope they keep working on it and if they do will be playing it more. I live in the community and would love it if they would open the restaurant and bar back up. I know several people in the community that would frequent it.
Going down hill fast
This course was a great one 5 years ago but the owners are only interested in selling off part of the property and not maintaining the course at all. They may as well sell all the property and close it down now because as a golf course it's not worth playing.
Stay away
I’ve been playing golf for over 50 years this is by far the worst condition golf course I have ever played. I wouldn’t play this course again even if it was free.
Worst golf course in PNW
Every word of the bad reviews for this course are spot on accurate. As someone who has played this course over 100 times since 1993, I’ve seen it through its up and downs and for many of those years at least through about 2015 it seemed to be gradually improving. I’ve even booked a small tournament here back in the late 90s. Unfortunately those seemed to have been the glory days.
Today, the course is a complete waste of money - not worth more than $5 a round. The $35 for 17 holes, when the proshop doesn’t bother to tell you hole 14 is completely closed - is absurd.
From garbage on Teeboxes to rocky dry cracked tee boxes, fairways and greens - it’s truly a maintenance nightmare.
The owners need to get their act together soon and poor some much needed money into maintenance or all the golfers will be give up on this once majestic course.
Don’t bother spending a dime here if you’re at all serious about golf as to you’ll be horribly disappointed. If you want a place to practice then perhaps you can consider it worth a couple bucks to try to tune your game, but keeping score is a joke given the conditions of the greens especially.
Needs work
The greens are in poor condition. Overall could be a great course, but the owners need to invest in their property. Wouldn't hurt to reopen the restaurant, and fix up the club house.
Poorly Maintained
I am writing this review because the course website mentions “lush fairways exceeded only by the well maintained greens.” Neither statement is true. Some of the fairways are in good shape, but many are like pastures and the greens have many dead patches. The tee boxes are poorly maintained. I played this course 6 or 8 years ago and it was in much better shape.
The price is reasonable, the staff is very friendly and helpful, I hate to be critical but the course needs better grounds keeping. I will probably not play here again until I am reassured that the course is in better shape.
HORRIBLE CONDITION
Sad place. Used to be a good course in a nice setting now it is basically "opened" for business but abandoned to the wild. All the greens are dead or diseased or shaggy. The ball doesnt roll it bumps and then it might stop completely in a divot. Yes the greens have divots. You will want your money back. Dont waste it here. I'm not sure I would play here for free if I lived next to it. Shameful neglect.
