Short, tight course, 68.5/117 6043 from the blues, par 72. Played on an internet coupon from their website, $23 to walk midday.

The layout is mediocre, the front 9 zigs and zags in and out of condo's, the back nine does the same with single family homes. Most of the holes are tight and straight. Almost every hole had OB left, if anything, the slope is probably a little low because there is hardly a hole on the entire course where trouble isn't just off the fairway or green.

While I would mark the course down for the layout, the conditions were excellent.

The average sized to smallish greens were smooth, putted medium fast and held approach shots OK. MUCH better than you would expect for a course that gets alot of play located in the city. Very few ballmarks.

Both the fairways and rough were generally lush, I only had a couple of bad lies AD. The aprons around the greens are mowed down, you can putt or bump and run from well off the green if you choose. This is sometimes required because of all the mature trees that are around many greens and the branches you have to go under if you are more than a few yards left, tight or long on most holes. The sand traps were just OK and were not up to the rest of the course.

Not a course I would drive past other courses to go play, so-so layout, but the conditions, (especially the greens) would warrant playing if you are close by.

An older, shorter tree-lined track in the northeast area of Portland that feels more suburban as very few buildings are in view during the round.

Because it gets a lot of play, tees and fairways show lots of wear and divots abound. Greens are bumpy in places and medium in speed. The sand traps are actually quite good and there is not much water. The very large old trees and some taller rough make staying in the fairway the safest play.

Not a destination course by any means, it is easy to get to and convenient if in that area. The pro shop offerings are very sparse but the staff is friendly. A huge plus is an excellent restaurant and bar on the premises.

Older, shorter course in NE Portland that gets a ton of play. Unique layout, par 73 with five par 5's and four par 3's. The fairways are tree lined with huge mature trees with a decent assortment of open, tight and a couple of very tight holes. Not that many water hazards and OB holes, but plenty of places in the trees to lose a ball if you get crooked. Considering that it's in the city, there were almost NO houses visible along the course.

The greens were a bit bumpy and medium slow, but putted OK once I got their speed down. The tees were in fair shape, many had severe divot damage that needed repair. The fairways were decent, but many of them also had alot of divot damage. The rough was generally mowed down and lush, a few areas were higher, but you usually could make good contact on shots out of the rough. The sand was surprisingly good and well maintained in the 2 traps I was in.

They had a clubhouse, pro shop, snack bar and highly rated restaurant on site. $24 to walk twilight on a Sunday was a good value. Customer service in the pro shop was a +. This isn't a course you would drive by a bunch of other courses to come and play, but if in the area, it's OK. I will come back again and check out the other (West) course.

just got done playing 27 holes at meriwether national. i played the South and then West and North (regular 18). i was extremely surprised with how great the condition was. the greens were fast and true. extremely firm and a true test of your putting stroke. the tee boxes were in great shape, no problem trying to get a tee in the ground, which can be a challenge at time during the summer. fairways had a great roll to them and ball sat up really nicely on them. the rough was browning out and thin in the areas that the irrigation couldn't reach, but that is to be expected with the central line irrigation down the center of fairways. they seem to have recently completed a bunker renovation on West/North course and in the middle of it on the South. it looks amazing. sand levels were good and bunkers were consistent throughout. they do look great and are alot larger and extremely well maintained, especially the work on #8 West, the Par 3 bunker was an eye sore and now it is a true feature of the hole. all in all i was more then happy with the experience here again. the flowers at the entry way right through to the fantastic green color throughout the course made it a pleasure to play on. i will be back again, SOON!!!!

Played a twilight round yesterday with NickEsquire1 and had a great time. The course is in wonderful condition and all phases of the course are top notch. Not a bad thing to say.

The layout winds through wooded areas, hazelnut orchards and an upscale housing development and presents very attractive vistas. A few holes require blind shots to specific distances but this just adds to the courses delightful personality. Occasional water, well placed sand traps and a few narrow fairways are the main defenses and some undulating greens make for an overall challenging outing.

This is one of my favorite courses in the Portland area and I highly recommend it to all.

Enjoyed a very nice twilight round with Longtee400. The layout has five par 5's and five par 3's, which I personally like. Not too tight overall, but there are several holes that are tight and require some local knowledge or previous experience where they have blind tee shots that need to be hit a specific distance to a specific area because of lateral hazards in the middle of the fairway. Enough OB and water hazards to keep you honest. Overall, it's not a bombers course but there are holes you can cut loose.

The greens were firm and generally quick, better not be above the hole on many greens. Both the tees & fairways are lush and very well maintained, the previous divots were well taken care of. Sand traps all had nice, thick, fluffy sand and were extremely well maintained.

Customer service was a +, they had a well stocked pro shop and what looked like a very nice restaurant overlooking the putting green and driving range. Nice putting/chipping practice area.

Layout was a plus, conditions were excellent, I will definitely be playing here on a semi regular basis.

I played here on 07/05/12 from the blue tees at 72.3/128/6682. My friend, who lives in Vancouver, had never played here so we thought we would give this Portland Parks and Recreation course a try. We played from the blues, we both had all the course that we could handle. I did not find that there were many birdie holes unless I was hitting great shots. Every hole was tree lined with water hazards in play on seven holes and high fescue on many others. The course features two completely different 9s and you better score well on the front because I think the back might be a good 2 to 3 strokes tougher. The first couple holes eased me into the round before the course became more challenging on holes #4 through #7. If a tee shot is positioned well on #1 and #3 then it is a short iron in and #2, a 150 yard par 3, drops a club so it is not the hardest start. Holes #4 and #5 require a little knowledge off the tee and are semi blind. Once you start the back it gets tough. Hole #10 is very tight and deceptively uphill while #11 is a well designed healthy length par 4. It requires a tee shot down the right and a solid long iron to avoid all the trouble left. The close is a very good test with #15 through #17 being some long holes. A bailout left off the tee on #15 (to avoid the hazard right) lengthens the dog leg right and #17 also plays deceptively up the hill. After all that the course closes on #18 in typical Pacific Northwest fashion requiring a laser off the tee to avoid all the trees. The greens were larger than average and had many slopes (many of my putts had big breaks) so this combined with all the trouble could lead to some slow play, and sure enough, we got around in a slow 5 hours on a weekday morning. My favorite part of this course was the collection of par 3s while my least favorite part was the routing of the holes. A wayward shot, if it didn’t end up in trouble, ended up near someone else’s hole. Plus, the 7th, a 621 yard uphill par 5 which played into the wind, had the water hazard in the wrong place. An out of place drive required laying up short of the hazard and still had 300+ yards into the green for the 3rd shot. The maintenance was good, my putts did not bump off line many times and the fairways were cut to a decent length, but the maintenance was not pristine. The views were lacking except from a couple holes and the course had a very urban feel to it. I thought it was a little over priced (not a huge surprise I guess since I think this side of Portland has some money) at $46 to ride on a weekday morning. I did not fall in love with the course, but I did not hate it either. I guess some more spacing between the holes and a more rural setting would have made it stand out to me.

First time here, 27 hole facility. Enjoyed a nice round with Tocho261, we played the West-North combo. The layout was generally open with a nice mixture of short, medium and longer holes, many mature trees and enough water to keep you honest.

The greens were recently vericutt and were discolored. However, they generally putted well, firm and medium fast. The tees and fairways were for the most part in good shape, usually lush. The rough was neatly mowed down and was very lush. The sand was new and fluffy, traps were well maintained.

Overall, nice course to walk, I will definitely be back.

Course was pretty busy @ twilight. The back nine greens were just vericut, so they were bumpy. Front nine greens rolled great. Tees & Fairways were in good condition, a little dry, but generally lush. Rough is mowed down close to the fairways and they let it go native elsewhere, so there is knee deep stuff that will catch many shots that misses the fairway by 10+ yards. Sand traps were very well maintained. I like the layout and the greens here, for whatever reason, I can usually read these big, undulating greens well.

They constantly change the time and price of twilight, not it's $34 to ride twilight and twilight starts @ 4pm. They have alot of weekday tournaments here, so you should call ahead and make sure the course isn't closed for a tournament, as it was for the last three times I called to inquire about playing here.

Stone Creek Golf Club Review
Portland Oregon Golf Course Reviews

Played in the afternoon with 2 members who regularly play Rock Creek. The greens were very nice, smooth, very few ball marks and medium fast. The tees and fairways were both in good condition, nice, spongy grass. The rough was generally mowed down and in good condition. The traps were OK, but not up to the standards of the rest of the course.

The layout overall was good, numerous tight holes but not overly tight. There wasn't a single hole that had the WOW factor, but there wasn't a bad hole either. Plenty of mature trees but not excessive. Most of the course is lined with single family homes, but for the most part, you do not notice them that much because of the trees lining many fairways. The trees are a crap shoot, they can knock down shots that aren't that offline and would be an OK shot "but for" the trees, and they can sometimes save terrible shots from going OB.

The customer service with the pro shop and the cart staff was a +. I would definitely play here again.

Portland Oregon Golf Course Reviews

Pace of play 3.5 hours as I was the first one out.
Tee boxes were level and very lush.
Fairways were lush with only a few divots.
Rough wax about 1 to 3 inches and very easy to hit out of.
Bunkers were wet on a few holes while very soft on others as I could see. Only found two and they were easy to get out of.
Greens were very fast and if you were on the wrong side then it leads to a lot 3 putts. As I found out on some holes.
This course is a very nice to play. You do get some traffic noise from the freeway but it's not too bad. Everything was well manicured and lush. Greens had not pitch marks which is nice. Always try to get out here when I come to Portland area.

Landon Farms Golf Club Golf Course Review
Aurora Oregon Golf Course Reviews

Meriwether is a 36 hole complex with the original 18 hole course (West/North 9s), the South 9 and a 9 hole "practice course. There's a big driving range with mats and a grass tee as well as several practice greens near #1 on each 9. I played the 18 hole course today in preparation for the Oregon Public Links event coming up.

The entire property is very flat. There are plenty of tree-lined, dogleg holes (especially on the North) and a few water hazards that come into play. It being the heart of summer, the course is very firm and fast right now. The course is 6700 from the tips, but certainly shorter with the hard turf. The greens are all poa annua and were quick, but a little bumpy.

Overall, Meriwether is pretty inexpensive to play, but there are better options nearby (The Reserve is right down the road). It serves a sizable golf community concerned with cost. It's a pretty laid back atmosphere. It's just not a course worth going out of your way to play.

I will say a highlight was the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich in the club restaurant.
