Anytime you can get out to play is a good day for golf. Having a course like The Reserve makes it even more enjoyable. I expected the moist conditions since the recent weather but I was pleasantly surprised when I played the first green. It was the first of about four 3 putts on the day because the greens were a little fast. Overall, it was a good day. I’ll be back.

After recently punching and sanding the greens they should reduce the cost to play if they want more business.

Nice Course as always. For the middle of December we could not ask for more. The greens were awesome considering the time of year. The putts rolled fast and true. I will be back….soon. Thanks yo the ground crew. Job well done.

Great course to hone my game. Not a short course. You need to be somewhat accurate with approach shots to stay away from trouble…..water, trees and bunkers.
The only negative here is that there are only 9 holes. But they are worth the money to play.

Blue skies, no wind, great playing partners. Great course with just enough of trouble spots to make the game interesting. I wish I lived closer so I can play here more.

Too soggy after a fresh rainfall. If you can “pick it” off the turf you’ll be in great shape. Otherwise you will be like me and hit allot of fat shots with short irons.

I was pleasantly surprised after my first shot. Not that it was a good hit or anything...(it wasn't), but the conditions of the course was incredible. It was firm everywhere. In the fairways and in the rough.
I told my partner that I needed a challenge to test my game after playing the same courses (Stone Creek and OGA) over and over. He suggested Forest Hills.
It was a challenge for sure. I had my good holes and bad. What excited me most was the condition of the course overall and how well it played. No bad lies either in the fairway, rough, bunkers (they were raked and HAD sand) or the greens.
Good job crew !!
I'll be back.

Do you have an "A" game? It would help to have it at Fox Glove. Best challenge I've had this year. I played Thistle and Fox Glove. Thistle is pretty much open with wide tree lined fairways. It a good course to grip n rip. As on any course it helps to keep the ball in play but if your off the fairways you still seem to have a decent shot. It's not that way on Fox Glove. 20 feet off the fairways and pulling out another ball.
Overall, the course is in immaculate condition. Fairways are clean and weed free and the greens are in "resort" condition. There is break in the greens and its not difficult to read.
I will be back. 20 minutes from Sandy, Or.

I knew better than to play this course in the winter but I wanted to see if anything changed. Nothing has changed. Since this course was built on a wetlands it doesn't take much rain or moisture to make this course soggy and muddy. I lost balls in the middle of the fairway due to plugging in the mud. Surprisingly the course was busy.
Not 1 bunker was raked. Why? Every other course I have played this winter has had their bunkers prepared for play.
I'll be back in August after things dry out a couple of months. In the meantime I will stay at Stone Creek and the OGA.

I can't believe this is public course. This course is maintained as well as a high priced resort or private country club. The fairways are immaculate. The greens are true and fast, in all seasons. The bunkers are RAKED !!! And, there is SAND in the bunkers.
Simply put, this course is kept up well. This course has the best drainage I have seen anywhere.
Some people don't like holes 12, 13 or 15. I feel this is part of the challenge. You don't need to use your driver on every hole. Just keep your ball in play and you can eliminate the big numbers.

The only negative off the day is that the greens were recently aerated. But even with that they still rolled pretty true. I like the layout of this course because it makes me use a variety of shots turning the ball right and left. Keep it in play and you should do well....this can be said for most courses, but is true for this one.

I have played this course several times and have always loved playing here for the challenge and course condition for a muni course. But the condition this course is in now is horrible to say the least. If I would have known they had a disease on the greens I would have played somewhere else. They should be playing temp greens on all the greens until they are fixed. Its the only way to properly fix them.
I am extremely disappointed and will not be back this year. Back to the OGA for a great rate and little extra travel, but its worth it.

Nothing negative. This course is one of the areas best kept secrets. I hate to even write this review because it may get more play that might slow down the pace. But when there is a course as nice as this it would be a shame not to share with other avid golfers like myself. If your not willing to drive a little further to play a beautiful course in great conditions then go ahead and play East Moreland and Broadmoar.

A little water goes a long way...because the greens are hard as cement. I hit several greens but nothing sticks. Not even a divot from the ball. It looked like it was recently sanded. Why? Sand firms up the green when it's soggy and wet. We have not had rain for weeks. I'll stay at Rose City.

Overall the course was in great , except the greens could have used a mowing. This course has a great setup, you will end up playing every shot in the book for this course. Bring your "A" game, or keep the driver in the bag. Getting in the fairway makes it much easier to score low. Enjoy!

Soggy, Soggy, Soggy. Bring your mudders. They need about a week without rain until this course firms up a bit. Every shot in the fairways plugged and there is allot of standing water. Besides this, the greens were in great shape.

With as much rain that we had so far,I was surprised how nice the fairways are. The greens were very soft and most of them were completely water logged. But for the money it was ok.
I like this course every once in a while for the challenge. With all the trees your tee shot is key to making par. I will be back.

I am all for letting everyone play golf, young and old, male and female. But, everyone should also play with proper golf etiquette.
After you hit the ball, go to YOUR ball and prepare to take your turn after your playing partners hit theirs. It should not take more than 30 minutes to play a hole.
I tee'd off at 8am and made the turn at 9:30. At 9am the ladies club tee'd off on the both the front and back nines. Needless to say I had to wait and play behind 4 foursomes of ladies for the back nine.
If the starter would have told me this was going to happen I would have started my game 2 or 3 hours later. Instead I was held up by these groups which turned my 4 hour round into over 6 hours. Unbelievable. I won't be back. There are better courses closer to Portland that I'd rather spend my money.

I had an 8am tee time. When I made the turn there were 4 groups of old ladies in front that were playing swarm ball. It took 30 min to play 1 hole. No exaggeration. I picked up my ball and walked 4 holes in front of them and finished playing 17 and 18.
If I would have known they were starting groups off the front and back at the same time I never would have played.
I'll never be back. Its a perfect course for old retired people and ladies who want to socialize and hit a little white ball.

The best thing about my day at this course was the company of my friends. When I showed up and presented my golf now coupon the cashier/golf pro made a snide remark about golf now. I didn't need that at 6 in the morning. If it wasn't for the company of good friends I would have left.
