Golf Courses
Eastmoreland Golf Course – The efforts to open Portland’s first municipal golf course began in 1915. Members from Multnomah Athletic Club, Waverley Country Club, Tualatin Country Club and Portland Golf Club wanted to build a public golf course to make the game available to all citizens. With the support of new designated PP&R superintendent Charles Keyser, the private golf club leaders raised $7,000 to fund the original construction of Eastmoreland, designed by H. Chandler Egan. The course opened June 16, 1918, and was very popular, generating enough paid golf rounds to help PP&R purchase the land outright and continue operations. Through the proven success of Eastmoreland and some creative efforts by superintendent Keyser to raise funds through utility certificates, new land was acquired for two more public golf courses.
Rose City Golf Club – Built in 1923, our course is the second oldest municipal course in the city and state. Located in the center of northeast Portland neighborhoods our course is a classic, tree lined course that is both playable and challenging for players at all levels. Recent renovations have improved conditions and year-round playability at Rose City.
Colwood Golf Center – Colwood Golf Center’s 9-hole, Par 3 golf course is uniquely designed and opened for play in April 2015. Each hole features two sets of tees to hit from, as well as large, undulating greens. This accommodates golfers of all skill levels, and creates a fun golf experience. The course plays up to 1,200 yards long, and has holes ranging between 76 and 200 yards. Located in Northeast Portland, minutes from PDX International Airport, downtown Portland, and Vancouver WA, Colwood Golf Center is a great venue for hosting golf outings. Our facility features a 9 hole Par 3 golf course, 18 hole footgolf course, driving range, and spacious clubhouse with a large event space.
