Best public course in the city! not terribly long and it does require having to "shot shape" along with having a tree game when you miss off the tee. You will never hit the same shot twice. If you enjoy playing a track that is continuously challenging, this is the course for you. The greens are a little slow for my liking but they are as pure as can be.

Out of all the city courses, I enjoy Eastmoreland the most. It has an old-school feel to it from the course to the clubhouse. It's a beautiful layout and being right in the middle of SE Portland by the Sellwood area, it's a great location.
The price is pretty fair, too, and on par with the other city courses like Rose City, Heron Lakes and Glendoveer. A thumbs up to the course. -

I've been going to the driving range here the past few weeks and I really like it! I also took advantage of the putting and chipping area! Plus it's so beautiful there. They do a great job on the grounds. I look forward to playing on the course one of these days!
The bar/restaurant area is pretty cozy, they have a good selection of gear in the pro shop, they have golf carts, lots of spaces in the driving range, ample parking, great hours, and friendly staff. -

Every time I am in Portland on business I try to get out and play a round of golf at Eastmoreland. It is located less than 25 minutes from the airport, and only 10 minutes from downtown. You can get to Eastmoreland on public transportation, but it adds significantly to your travel time. Trust me.
The course itself is fun - short, but fun. The fairways are wide, but lined with low-limbed trees. While the holes are not long, they do require strategy & execution. Three of the par 5's have significant doglegs, and one of them plays over a ravine.
The front nine is mostly flat, and only two holes have any elevation change to speak of. The par 3 5th is a thrilling 175 yard shot with a 60 foot drop in elevation from tee to green.
The back nine wends its way around a creek and lake, and water comes into play on six of the nine holes. The two par 3's on the back nine play completely over water, and the par 3 17th is the longest 167 yards you'll likely stare down.
The course has a lot of creativity in its layout, and makes the most of the land it occupies. The pro shop staff are friendly, the food in the clubhouse passable in a pinch. Greens fees are cheap, by SF standards: $24 for a weekend round. They have three levels of clubs for rent: hacker, moderate, and boo-ya. Boo-ya = Mizuno M70's with graphite shafts and run an additional $30 fee.
I've always been able to walk on as a single at Eastmoreland, and have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a tee time. Pace of play is speedy, the slowest round I've ever played was a completely self-inflicted 4.5 hours.
Last time I played Eastmoreland was on a Friday afternoon: I walked on and played alone in under 3.5 hours. It is a beautiful walk filled with fun golf.

Okay, so it's not a "Pro" course. But Eastmoreland is challenging, fun, and has a friendly staff to keep your smile on when your game is off. The golf pros have excellent one-on-one lessons for all levels of players, and often go over their 30 minute mark to make sure you got the most of your session.
Rob Charbonnier is one of the best for his extraordinary patience and ability to tell you kindly just what you're doing wrong.
The driving range has two levels and is moderately priced (9 bucks for 100 balls), with staff on site that seem like they don't think they're working (in a good way). The course itself is $18 for 9 holes or $33 for 18 - not too shabby considering some places charge in triple digits.
(for those of you who seem to have a case of deja vu, this post is also under "Arts and Entertainment." Maybe I forgot that it's just me that's the "entertaining artist" with the funny swing.)Listed in: The Places I Go Out

Review from tim b.

This COULD be my favorite golf course in Portland; it is challenging, pretty, and super close to where I live. The front nine holes are pretty basic they have wide open fairways and few hazards. The back nine I have found to be very challenging since there is a lot of water hazards which also makes the back nine very beautiful (I forget I am in a city when I play here). Even though this is one of my favorite courses to play I could not give Eastmoreland 5 stars due to the large amounts of goose crap which is everywhere on the back nine holes; it is terrible! The goose crap gets on your shoes, clubs, pants, and messes with your puts! I don't know what they can do about this problem, but I wish they could get rid of these geese! This won't stop me from playing here though!

Played last Sunday with 2 bros. This was our 2nd time playing this course. Love the old style layout. Fairways had some bare spots. Greens were in great shape. Don't let the practice green fool you. Right now they have a $23 special which is a steal for that price.
