Is having the most expensive pro shop with super pretentious staff all it takes to be the "best"…read morecourse in town? I've played pumpkin maybe 15-20 times over the years and i have to say... The only way the math works is if someone else is paying or it's for charity. Otherwise, literally any other course offers a better value. My guess is the $170 per round flows right to the private side because there's absolutely no way that's going back into Ghost Creek. If you are the most expensive GC in town, you should also be the best at something. Unfortunately Pumpkin just doesn't stand out anywhere i can see. It isn't the most scenic course in town. Surrounded by dirt fields visible thru sparse trees there's no "cohesive" feeling. The water features don't look natural with the sharp edges and over use of river rocks. I don't think there's a single view of the mountain and no "showcase" hole to speak of. Its not the most challenging course. Sure, it has long par 4's and small greens with tough pins but beyond that... ho hum. Most of the accommodations are on par with a muni, and some worse. The golf carts are trashed with old manual push-style brakes, no gps, no bluetooth or ball cleaners... they have over-stuffed but worn out seats and a tiny cooler. My cart was missing all the screws connecting the roof on one side so it slid around and rattled, making lots of noise the whole round. I've never seen that at redtail or even killarney way back when they were $8 a round, let alone any place north of $100. Be careful driving those clunkers because the cart path has a few huge chunks of concrete missing and broken apart. Again, how is this is the "Top Dollar" course in town when there's more potholes than a back road in SW portland? The drink cart came by once on this hot Friday afternoon and she apologized she wouldn't be back because she "snuck over from the private side." I guess us donkeys on the public side should feel lucky we got one round in. On an up note, washing my face was super refreshing due to no hot water in the main clubhouse bathroom, and I applaud whoever saved a buck on the thinnest-yet-roughest paper towels ive ever had the displeasure of drying my face with. Really, who doesn't want to exfoliate with sandpaper after dropping a couple Benjamins on a round of golf? My inner-city public school didn't have doors on the bathroom stalls but we definitely had better paper towles than Pumpkin Ridge. Even for $85 or $100 all this would be a bad value compared to other courses around here but at literally the top-dollar course in pdx charging $170+... it's a no for me, dog.

He is a man with golf knowledge and a lot of integrity. Lessons with Sean have been a very positive experience. He is prompt and very patient in his teaching. Our teenage son decided he would like to try out for the HS golf team at orientation. With no golf experience, Sean took a 14 year old teen and helped him achieve his goal of making the team. I know his success is a direct reflection of the time spent with Sean. His attention to detail and communication are wonderful. He is pretty techy too and sends us video swings of our son so we can see the progress. Overall, a great golf coach and man! We still see Sean as much as possible for lessons to keep our sons form in line.

Last Friday I shot a record low score, 76, at Lewis River. When I called Jack to tell him, he was as excited as I was! What a great feeling to have a coach the really likes to see you do well.

Last year she placed 4th in her Junior Club Tournament. 1st, 2nd and 3rd places were all held by 11 and 12 year olds! She was so excited! I can't wait for this season to start. And, we'll be back visiting Jack for more lessons! Golf is a wonderful game and it's great to have someone like Jack helping you get better and enjoy the game even more! I would recommend Jack for players at every skill level!

Started Golftec in Aug 2021 with Michael Blinco and have no plans of going anywhere else for my…read moregolf instruction. After trying out multiple instructors in the Portland area (Redtail, Pumpkin Ridge, Rock Creek) and several others in the US (at least 50 hours of total instruction), Golftec stands out to me as one of the best setups for a golfer looking to improve. Michael's approach on the game is multifaceted, not just how best to swing a club. We go through swing mechanics on an indoor simulator and apply them during playing lessons on-course. Short-game and putting lessons have been the weakest part of my game, but now are a more confident part of my game. Instruction on strategy and course management has dramatically increased my percentage of hitting greens on approach shots. Michael's engineering background, his deep knowledge of the game, and his passion for instruction helped me better understand my golf game. I now am better equipped to self diagnose and fix day-to-day adjustments in my swing. The facility also allows for indoor practice on a simulator which is key for off-season improvement to ready for the new season. The video recording/playback in the practice sessions allows you to see whether or not the swing mechanics taught during lessons are being implemented during practice. This feature has increased the efficacy of my practice sessions in a way I couldn't have imagined previously. I can write another page worth of praise for Michael and Golftec, but it's just easier for you to try it yourself. Go in for a swing evaluation; it's $95 and it's likely you'll walk away from that session with actual solutions that work rather than YouTubing/Instagraming a fix that will cause more problems than it fixes.

Dick's sporting goods got my money and will continue to get my money because of LANCE. Had the perception, I should support a small business owner. So despite the negative reviews I went to ParWest Golf FIRST (w/$1500. to spend). There were three employees in the building. We knew this because we became the only patrons in the shop. We spoke loud enough for them to her us, we asked to hit a few balls, we asked questions about what was available - we gave them so many opportunities to ignite and build a sale but instead, we walked in and found the front counter employee on their phone, then they were fixed on some game on tv. Even after we tried a club out they didn't even try to engage us. We left and went to Galaxy Golf with the perception of it being corporate. HUGELY mistaken. Lance gave us some time on the floor. Gently approached. Answered our questions and then got us on the range to test out our potential clubs. Lance gave me some education tips. Gave me space to think and I bought the full set and met the trainer for lessons. lance also recommended Stone Creek in Oregon City, OR to practice and take my dad. Literal high five to Golf Galaxy.
