Greenside view of six: The darkened look, however, was all but gone less than five minutes later. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022

From the tee, the eighth does not appear at all like a charming little par-3. And it isn’t. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022

10th, par-4, 368: On the uphill approach, you may choose to use the bounce from the green’s left side, but not the right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022

Good little course
Offers you everything from short and challenging to long and open can't wait to go back!
Great little course
Well maintaned... Greens run true! Highly recommend course
Happy Saturday game :)
Course and facilities are well maintained, Staff is very friendly. A challenging course that's great to work on your short game. Fairways and greens are in an exceptional shape. There are a few holes where water comes into play, but it does not dominate any of the shots. An executive course that gives a few opportunities to break out the driver. Course management is key. I would highly recommend this course.
Most Recent Round
Portland West is one of my favorite course to play. The course is in excellent condition and the staff is always friendly and efficient. I feel very comfortable there and never have any issues.
Portland West- Great Exec Golf!!!!
Portland West is an excellent par 60 executive course. Perfect for a quick round, for walking, and especially for focusing on your short game. The 19th hole libations and food are much better than you might expect.
Portland West
Beautiful short course with excellent greens. Perfect quick round - -
Cool little course
The course was well maintained. Tee boxes and greens were exceptional. If I didn't get a great deal through golf now and had to pay full price it would have been too expensive for that size course!!
Vunderbal!
I can see why pro has been there so long! Challenging cpurse pf 12 par 3s and 6 par 4s. I played w father son for 9 and played last 9 solo. Cpurse is really well preserved... Only issue was signage. More signs w arrows. Not a big deal. Parking convenient. I would like to play in warm weather. Greens were great! I am stickler on greens. Just a touch on hairy side, but its Nov! Great job guys! J
Great conditions at Portland west
Course is in great shape, nice executive course with some par 4s sprinkled in. The greens rolled really nicely and true. I enjoyed the round and would play this course again.
Enjoyable to play
Had a great time Course was in good condition.
Will play again in the future
Great greens
Greens in great condition. Nice track overall. Would def play again
Nice course. Good value.
Shorter course is a great workout for the irons. Good conditions, helpful staff, and the online deal make this a great value.
Great Place
The course is very well maintained and pace of play is great. The club sandwich is excellient in the clubhouse.
Great short course
This course will really sharpen up your short game. It has 12 par 3's and 6 par 4's. The longer hitters could leave the driver at home. The condition of the course was fantastic. Greens were fairly quick and true. The only drawback that I see is the pace of play. True it only took 4 hrs to play the course but this course is only 4100 yds from the tips with the tee boxes right next to the green. A ranger would help. Plus they allow walking on the weekends. The group ahead of us had 3 walkers and could not keep up with the group in front of them.
The course was in great shape
First time playing the course. The course was in great shape had a good time playing staff was very friendly
Best deal around!
Got a last minute deal and played 18 with a cart! Totally worth it!
Wonderful par 3
Great course with some challenging par 3's. Always an excellent condition very well-maintained greens
gives you your moneys worth
Course is always well maintained. Even with the bad winter their greens are top notch. The three par 4's per 9 holes helps keep the course from being a stale par 3 course. Holes are challenging with a fun layout. Cant like this course enough.
Staff in the pro-shop and restaurant are friendly, and the food as well as the portion sizes are great.
give it a try. You'll love it
Fun course
Took the grandkids and had a ball...perfect for families, couples, or to sharpen up your short game!
Portland West
Great little course to play and get in a lot of practice with your irons. As always, course was in great condition. Very busy so play was a little slow but we didn't mind because it was such a great weather day. The group in front of us had a 92 year old (God bless him!) who probably could have whipped me! This is most likely the best "Par 3" (with a couple of par 4's thrown in) in the state. It challenges me every time.
