Jewel on top of The Gorge

Nice green grass. Beautiful views of the Columbia Gorge
Wide gentle fairways putting was a challenge and they have one double green connected. Kinda cool
Fairway bathrooms need regular maintence.

Beautiful place not crowded at all on Thursday we played

Worth the ride

A really fun golf course with some really great views. They have three sets of tees for the men that can dramatically change the golf course to suit your skill level. The greens , which are excellent , will always be a challenge as they have some brilliant undulation. My suggestion is to play the course many times to get that true local knowledge of how the greens break. If unsure, just look at the gorge, where the Columbia River is and know almost everything tends to break that way. This is worth the short trip to Carson to get this on your bucket list...and I think after playing this you will continue to fill that bucket with this course in mind. and it is just great to bring a group of friends to as it will give them something to talk about for some time.

Great views and playability

Elk Ridge is my favorite course in the gorge. It has a great layout with challenging holes and excellent views. It was a HOT day and the wind was not blowing so was glad I packed plenty of fluids there is LIMiTED on course water and no beverage cart.

Annoyingly they were mowing the fairways and greens just as I made the turn. So I had to listen to the mowers blaring for 3 holes on the back. Otherwise a peaceful day playing behind a two some in a cart. I threw down two balls and kept up a brisk pace of play. Finished in 3:50.

They also watered the course heavily in the morning. This definitely slowed my roll.

So bring plenty of water on a hot day. And prepare for a great round of golf.

Learn the greens

1. The gorge wind can be quite influential.
2. Greens are all large and full of undulations. You almost have to spill water to figure the breaks.
3. Cart windshield was old and clouded up. They need to be replaced.

Worth the trip

Beautiful setting, reasonable green fees, fun to play, You really need to give it a try. The only negatives would be slow greens and mason sand in the traps.

Elkridge is a gem

This is the type of course you would put on a short list of courses to play. This should be a venue for some really good tournements. The greens are very challenging and perfectly kept. A must play!

Great course

I do love playing this course. I have played it several times and I a love the views. the best picture is from the black tees on number 2 looking back towards the clubhouse and hole 18. Remember to just enjoy the game and don't be hard on yourself with the putting.

Early April and course is this good?!

This was my first time playing this course. I played solo on a Sunday. Had nobody behind me for 3 holes so I just took my time and practiced my putting while the group ahead got farther. Never played in the Gorge so I'm not sure how the courses are during winter, but this felt like I was playing on an Arizona course. Greens were very tough and large. Fun long winding putts. The scenery alone was worth my trip from Gresham (45 minute drive + $1 toll bridge). Got my Gorge adventure in with a great round of 18. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. I played from the blues after a week of 65+ weather plus nobody AT ALL behind me, so base this opinion off that. Bottom line: course was in excellent condition. Breezy conditions with elevation change made approach shots interesting and long holes launch pads. Greens are tougher than most courses you will play.
