I recommend Lews River because it's one of the few courses you can actually play in the winter in this area where the ball doesn't plug on every shot. Practice facility is grass tees, but irons only.

because if you're not hitting it straight here, you'll lose a bunch. Tough, tight, and hilly....soft and muddy in winter...super friendly staff. The $30.00 with cart deal on golfnow is great.....retail is waaay overpriced however.

Difficult to walk, so a cart is a must. Given the traffic hassles to get there, it's a bit overpriced unless a golfnow "Hot Deal" is used. Like most courses in the valley, very little sand was used in construction, so it drains poorly in the winter. But in the summer, it's a blast.

but poor drainage in winter means plugged balls, etc. Nice pro shop with Southern-style clubhouse.

along with Stone Creek in NW Oregon/SW Washington. Great deals on golfnow.

Three different times over the past few years I've been hassled at Rose City when making a reservation through golfnow. They either don't have my reservation or try to charge me more, all with a snotty attitude. The course is an unimaginative layout, with soft and muddy conditions in the winter.

Way overpriced at $50.00+ except maybe in the summer. Soft, mushy fairways, plugged balls, chainlink fences bordering holes, houses on the course...should be $30.00 max. The course has a nice practice facility.

but in the winter, forget it....wet, soft, ball plugs....friendly staff, great clubhouse.....south course is the tougher and more fun of the two.

I'ts overpriced if you pay full green fees, especially after negotiating traffic to get there. Nice, challenging layout, but soft and not a good winter course. Back nine is quite hilly, so older players will need a cart.

poor drainage in winter....ball plugs....restaurant staff was rude...left us standing there for over 5 minutes despite being half empty without seating us...we finally just left. Retail is overpriced...use golfnow "Hot Deals". I recommend it for summer play only.

the other two are "bleh"...not worth the drive from the Portland area...plays soft and wet except in summer
