My sister and brother-in-law live there. They play at Waverley, which I try to play every time I go up. Next time I go, I'll PM you first.

In my bag:

One for slicing
One for hooking
One for knocking it in the cup

So many nice courses up there. I've only played Great Blue at Heron Lakes though, which was FANTASTIC. I'd love to come up and play a late March twilight round at Pumpkin Ridge for $30 this year, cuz I'm cheap like that

I've also heard really good things about Wildwood.

I've played Diamond Woods a lot. That course will hurt you. Although strangely, it was the first place I broke 100.

It's a beautiful walk.

Diamond Woods is really lush and a bargain. Ocean Dunes is another one I liked. http://oceandunesgolf.com/course.php

I'm in Portland, OR (SE - Milwaukie, OR area, actually). I play all around the area, I live about a 5 min. drive from East Moreland, pretty good track, but not always in the best shape in the off-season. Stone Creek in Oregon City is a good course, except for a strange little 3-hole stretch on the back-9, blind uphill/downhill tee/approach shots. But, still a favorite of mine. Heron Lakes Great Blue is one of the best courses in the area, plays very tough from the back tees. The Green Back at Heron Lakes is good course for the beginners, also. Langdon Farms is a great newcomer to the area, good layout, good greens, great food in the clubhouse. I also play Glendoveer (East course) alot since it's on my commute route, tough layout and good exercise walking up and down those hills. And don't forget Tri-Mountain a short drive up I-5 in Ridgefield, good layout, good greens. Green Mountain is a pretty fun track and fairly easy to get on in a pinch. Camas Meadows is fun, but over-rated, I'd rather play Heron Lakes, Stone Creek or Langdon any day.

Hit me up if any fellow portlanders want to play sometime.

I've played Stone Creek and it was like disneyland of golf courses.
Geek-- you're spot on to the great links around here.

I got out and played yesterday - the sun was calling here in SW WA / OR. I was over by Camas Meadows and it was only $29 (w/ cart) for 18. I teed off about 1:30pm and finished up around 5:30pm. Shot a lousy 86, of which I usually attribute the soggy conditions (my ball plugged 3 inches deep just off the fairway) and inconsistent winter greens for about +5 shots, so not bad for this time of year. I really don't enjoy Camas Meadows, though...I just don't like the layout. Then to top it off, they are adding a 'lake' in front of the 18th green (already a strange 'par 5'), so they had a flag stuck in the middle of the fairway in front of the lake. It was late, so I just hit a drive and picked up my ball and left. I doubt I'll go back there for another year or two, unless I'm asked to play in a 4-man scramble or something.

Let's definitely keep this thread going and make arrangements to play, hopefully the weather will dry up a bit!

I'm from NE Portland. I play all courses but mostly The Blue at Heron Lakes, Langdon Farms, Tri Mountain, Stone Creek, and once in awhile Pumpkin Ridge. Let me know if you guys want to get together for a round.

    • Day 3: about 20 minutes of putting on the practice green. Focused on putts within 10 feet.
    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.
