Pinecone/Thistle at Resort at the Mountain, The

Play here a couple times per year. The course is in the best shape I've ever seen it. Ball speed on the greens were excellent and played extremely well. Shot one of my best games ever. Weather was perfect. I'll be back sooner than later.

Fairways and boxes in great shape, greens roll smooth and play was 3.5 hrs. Can’t beat the scenery

This is my second round at the course in 2 months, with similar course conditions both times. They seem to been short in staff to keep up the course. Both encounters many of the pin holes were overgrown (needed to be recut) so the putting was to a smaller target. (Golf is hard enough). The fairways had uneven mowing and large clumps of grass sticking up like it was cut super long and wet without going over it a second time. The fairways have become increasingly bumpy and filled with holes as the terrain changes and no effort is placed on flattening the parts that are sinking. The greens are saturated, even in dry weather leaving them super slow. It's a beautiful course and could be so much better with a little more care. It is priced to high for the condition of the course, but I come up because the $28 Hot Deal with a cart is hard to pass up.

Grass along fairways too long so balls lost easily. Needed to be mowed.

I love playing at this resort, its got 3 different 9 hole courses Thistle, Pinecone and Fox Glove.
If you have never played here I’d say it’s a must try course for sure.

This was the first time this year that the Foxglove 9 was available for play and the pro shop assigned it as one of our 9’s for 18 holes. Foxglove fairways were in rough condition and there were no restrooms on the entire foxglove 9. We ended up walking off after the 7th hole on the back nine (Foxglove 9) because of the conditions and no restrooms. The greens on all three 9’s are a little slow but pretty smooth. Foxglove should not have been opened until it’s fully groomed and ready for play.

The remodeled course restaurant is not very inviting or comfortable. If their goal is not to have anyone sit down and enjoy the views, they are succeeding. Chairs and barstools are some of the most uncomfortable things I have ever seen in a restaurant.

There was one slow group ahead of me and they were friendly and let me by, ended up playing with another single for the last 10 holes. The scenery is very beautiful..great course conditions and friendly staff. I'm going to try staying a couple nights at the resort in the future.

Good course for hot days in Mt. Hood resort. Friendly staff. The only minus is that after long winter the Foxglove 9 holes are still close because it's still too wet. It's our favorite 9 holes on the course

Sand traps need help!!!!!!! Grass,weeds,packed sand.
