Description:

Portland Golf Club began in the winter of 1913 when a group of nine businessmen assembled to form a new club. The present site was chosen due to its relation to the SP&S railroad interurban line, that supplied frequent passenger service to the site as automobiles and roads were scarce in those days.

Members turned laborers and spent many a weary day burning brush, rubbing stumps, leveling fairways and forming greens. The first nine hole opened for play on May 30, 1914.

PGC has a long history of hosting international competitions. These include The 1947 Ryder Cup, Western Amateur, Womens Western Open, Portland Open, 1946 PGA Championship Mens Western Open, Alcan Open, US Senior Open, the LPGA Championship, US Senior Amateur, and the Fred Meyer Challenge.

This hilly course has water hazards, a lake and Fanno Creek runs through the course, and plenty of trees. The fairways are narrow, and the greens are large. "Golf Digest" rated this as the 10th "Best in State" course for 1995-96, and the 11th best for 1997-98. Robert Trent Jones (1950), Robert Muir Graves (1985) and John Steidel (1987) have done redesigns on the course. Tee times are only reserved for weekends and holidays.
