Played an afternoon round at Stone Creek on a beautiful day. Course was in great shape as usual, although balls hit into the greens seemed to roll out and not check up. Otherwise the greens were quick and rolled true. One of my favorite courses to play in the greater Portland area did not disappoint.

My personal favorite course to play year round in the area. Best drainage near Portland and consistent fairways and greens that rival the best private courses around as well. Only problems are that it is a bit of a trek to get to at about 40 minutes from downtown and that it can get quite slow paced on nice days. The quality and challenge far outweigh those two downsides in my opinion and it keeps me coming back to play as much as I can. If you find the time to make it there I could not recommend much higher

The best drainage course in the Portland metro which makes it ideal for year round play. The course itself was designed by Peter Jacobsen. The layout is both a links type course on the front nine and a typical Northwst design on the back nine with tall Douglas fir trees lining the fairways. The greens are amazing as are the weedless fairways. It is simply the best course for the value anywhere.

I played Stonecreek Golf Club yesterday (5/13/17) What a terrific course. It was in great shape, especially considering the weather we've had this winter and spring. The course is known for draining well and it certainly showed. The fairways and greens showed no signs of water. In fact, I only found one muddy spot and it was behind number 18. The front 9 is fairly wide open and fun. The back 9 is more tight and challenging. My only complaint is that number 15 is too tight. Not a lot of landing area. Otherwise, a good course with fast, true greens. I'd certainly play it again. The low ratings this course has received on this website is surprising The course is inexpensive. The layout is fun and challenging. The course was in terrific shape despite terrible, long term weather. This course is at least an 8 on a bad day. Complaint: The tee box on 14 needs work. It's underneath trees so that may be the issue. But it needs flattening. Otherwise, the tee boxes on the course were good. Edit: I'm not sure how the website came up with its rating, but the 7.4 it has figured is way too low. Considering the weather and the shape of my home course, I'd give yesterday's trip up north a 9. I'll be back!

Second round of my Oregon trip. I actually liked the course, despite some rather questionable conditioning. A couple greens were terrible, but for the most part they were OK. The tee boxes were generally horrible! Fairways were hit or miss

It's sad to see any golf course deteriorate into this state of neglect. The "bones" of this course are very good, but the overall condition prevents me from recommending until/unless they improve the condition. Sad !

Walked on as a single for 530. Was back in the car heading back at 9 so pace of play was no issue. This was my first time playing this course and I enjoyed the layout and for $23 to walk it can not be beat. The conditions of the course from tee to green was great. Only a couple of places on the fairway had some divot damage. Played the black tee so the tee boxes were great with no divot damage. The only negative about the course were the bunkers. The sand was not consistent with some clumps of dirt, but that could have been from the morning.
The greens were nice and firm. It played like I think it's supposed to hold mid to short iron shots with spin and roll out shots hit with a long iron. Putts rolled true and held their line.
Today the 14th hole played to about 95 yards instead of their usual 145 with what looked like a small green I don't know if it's a temporary green. But the original green looked nice from the tee box.
Overall enjoyed the course and will be back to play again especially for that price.

Played 18 with cart for $32 at 6:45am on a Golf Now special. The course is in good condition but gets a lot of play because of the value it presents. Tee boxes show some wear. Very well maintained and many challenging holes particularly on the back nine due to elevation changes. Overall a very good value.

Walked the blues (6525/71.4/127) in 4h, 15m on a Sunday afternoon prepaid Golf Now Hot Deal for $30. The weather was about perfect to play golf, low 80's with only a slight breeze. The greens were medium fast, FIRM and rolled very well. Easily some of the best greens I have putted on this golf season. The combination of medium fast and very FIRM was difficult to chip on, I must have had 5-6 chips or iron shots roll all the way to the opposite fringe. The fairways were generally lush & well maintained, as was the regular cut of rough. The native rough has been cut down, probably in anticipation of the upcoming rainy season. It was much less penal than any previous time I have played this course. The tees were lush and only the par three's had a decent amount of unfixed divots. The sand traps were good to very good, dark colored medium texture sand. However, they are much better to hit out of with a full iron on a fairway trap than to hit a soft shot out from around a green. Peter Jacobsen design, interesting course. The front nine is a more traditional golf course design. It's shorter, more wide open & easier in my opinion than the back nine. The back is more of a links style & is the longer & tighter of the two nines. Customer service was a ++, they got me off before my tee time and matched me up with 2 super nice guys. Very fun course that will challenge most players.

Walked the blues (6525/71,4/127) in 4h, 15m on their standard twi-light walking rate on $25. Peter Jacobsen design, interesting course. The front is shorter, more wide open, easier in my opinion and a traditional design golf course. The back nine is more of a links style, & is the longer & tighter of the two nines. The greens were medium fast, firm and rolled well. Only issue is alot of unfixed ball marks. The fairways were generally lush & well maintained, as was the regular cut of rough. The native rough is still deep, but not quite as severe as in most previous times I have played here. IF you found your ball, advancing it with a short iron is usually your only option out of the deep stuff, and even this is ???. The tees were decent, but many had a moderate amount of divot damage. The sand traps are OK, dark colored medium texture sand. Much better to hit out with a full iron on a fairway trap than to hit a soft shot out from around a green. Customer service was a ++. Fun course that will challenge most players.
