Elk Ridge
Course was in great shape. Not a bad lie in the fairway. Fairways were in great shape, as good as any I have played. Greens were good.
No wind!!! a nice cloudy day.
Great views. Great golf.
Elk Ridge
Course continues to be in great shape. Firm greens. Ball rolls well and true when putting.
I would play here 2X/wk if the course was 20 miles closer.
Elk Ridge
Course was in great shape. Excellent fairways. Fast greens, fair greens. Clean. Well maintained. Only complaint - wind. But what do you expect in the gorge on a warm day in May.
I will return as often as I can.
Restaurant
Well for one thing your web site says you are open till 8:00p.m. then you should be open till 8:00p.m. There is not anything that says temp hours, or we closed early. NOTHING! This is getting really old. I wish it was the Blue Collar again. At least then you could count on her! It sucks being there. The service has gone down hill. Everytime I've been there my order is wrong. You have to wait to get a refill. I want the Blue Collar Cafe back!
Best game this year!
After a recommendation from a friend, we finally tried it out. What a great course! Beautiful views, links style, the craziest greens I've ever seen. I ended up with one of my best scores ever to top it off. A little pricey but in the range for the better courses. I will definitely be heading back there again soon !
Great course with beautiful views
I just recently found out that my favorite course is being remodeled (skamania lodge) to bring just a 9 home with an 18 hole putting course so I decided to try out this course near by to see if the views were comparable... Close! This cost s in beautiful shape... Very quick greens (took some getting used to) and some great views to boot. Enjoyed playing here very much and looking forward to playing it again soon!
Great Course
Love playing this course when I can. A bit pricey but it has great views and is good shape most of the season. I try to introduce everyone I know who hasn’t played it to its majesty.
Hidden Gem
I was super impressed with this course. The conditions were amazing and there was lots of staff taking care of every detail. The Course can play short, but the greens are anything but flat. Can’t wait to try this track out again.
Love This Course!!
This is by far the best course in the Gorge!! The layout and design are top-notch as is the condition. The greens are fast, often big and lots of breaks. They putt quite true and hold fairly well. The views here are beautiful and it's really a course not to miss if you're going to be playing in the Gorge!!
Incredible Course with Incredible Views
First off, the greens had been aerated perhaps 7-10 days before I played. So they were still sandy and a bit bumpy, but they rolled surprisingly true 9 times out of 10. In another week, they should be fine.
BUT... with that said, the course was in excellent condition. And so dry for late September in Oregon!
The drainage is legendary, according to the staff, and I believe it after playing. It rained heavily the day before and yet it rolled almost like a summer course.
It's a beautiful course, an open semi-links style layout with relatively few water hazards. The greens range from medium to extremely large, and if you are a good lag putter you should score well. They undulate a lot but the breaks are very readable and straight putts roll straight (other than a couple aeration pachinkos).
There are a few tough bunkers here and there and a couple of water hazards (most dangerous on #9) but most of the trouble is avoidable with strategy or power. The fairways were short, almost too short for a "picker" like me who takes shallow or no divots. The rough was fair - you can hit out of it easily but it will definitely slow the roll on an errant drive (or second shot on a Par 5).
There are no "gimme" holes from the blue tees but every Par 4 is reachable in two by a golfer of even modest skill, every Par 5 comfortably reachable in 3. The ball does not carry in the colder, damp air that tends to congregate on the high plateau where the course is situated, so be prepared to have your clean drives go 10-20 yards shorter than you thought. You may have to take an extra club on your mid irons, and the Par 5s are not as easily reachable in 2 as the yardage markers imply.
All in all, this is by far my favorite course in Oregon or Washington, of the courses I've played. It's high marks are deserved. It's a hidden gem, that's almost empty in the afternoons despite spectacular conditions. I played 18 in 2 hours 20 minutes and then played another 9 (mainly screwing around with cut shots and weird punch shots and multiple balls, basically an unscored practice round) in about another hour.
It's also scoreable - I shot a 79 from the blues but a few more missed shots and that score could easily balloon. It's a course that "levels" the playing field across handicap groups.
Nice Course
Only 15 people in the tee sheet for the morning so I had the course. I’m surprised they don’t have any leagues but it is a resort after all. It’s a nice course but not a lot of elevation with any views of the river as was advertised so I didn’t take any photos.
Staff
A great day started in the pro shop with super friendly employee! Very nice guy! The golf course is in good shape & the greens have never been better. I definitely recommend this course to anyone visiting the Gorge!
Great course
Third time playing, really like the course. fairways were in great shape, greens roll true, but large and undulating. Surroundings are gorgeous in the gorge.
Best course along Columbia River
Lots of contour on all greens Fast but fair. Toughest putting course in Portland area.
