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.

Their online reservation system can be confusing when there are changes after the online reservation is made for something such as a senior discount. In order to get a simple $12 refund, it took me 4 phone calls and two in-person visits over a period of 3 weeks. One or two people said they'd refund to my credit card; nothing happened. The next person said they don't refund to credit cards, but instead would "give me a credit to my golf course account". Never happened. The next person said they don't give credits to golf course accounts and they'd refund to my credit card. Nope. I finally happened upon a person (by sheer luck) who said they'd take care of it and actually did; a refund to my credit card. The funniest part of this particular episode was that one of these nice people at the front desk told me it was much better to reserve by phone rather than on their website; read on.... Recently, I called for a next-day tee time . 4 people. 10:50AM. Next day. She said, "perfect". After I repeated my name for her a couple of times she said, "perfect" again and promptly called me by a different name. I corrected her and she said, "perfect". She claimed to make the reservation for 10:50AM the next day as requested saying, "perfect". I asked her to repeat the reservation time. She said 11:50AM. Not perfect. She said she corrected the reservation to the correct time, 10:50AM. I asked her to repeat all of the details and she did. I said, "perfect". I hung up, retaining some doubt about her competence. I waited about 5 minutes, logged into my golf course account, and the tee time showed11:50AM, not the 10:50 AM time she had so perfectly claimed to have scheduled.. Not perfect. I called back, hoping to get a different person, which thankfully I did. She said she would correct the reservation but the 10:50AM time was unavailable. I had to take a different time. The golf course is fun. The employees who administer the golf course: not even close.

Therefore all swimmers use the easy parking. That means golfers are forced toward the far west lots making golfers carry their bags 150-200 yards just to check in.

They could have continued to use the original club house for golfers yet it sits vacant. It seems a huge waste of taxpayer dollars

Beautiful golf course. Municipal-level customer service and course management…read more My brother, two friends, and I played Ghost Creek on Labor Day. Our 11:10 tee time cost approximately $175 per person with carts--nearly $700 for the foursome. Pumpkin Ridge markets and prices itself as a premium golf destination. Unfortunately, the premium experience ends with the course itself. At that price, the carts do not even have GPS. More importantly, the starter gave us no target pace and made no mention whatsoever of pace-of-play expectations during the briefing. We teed off around 11:15 and remained directly behind the foursome ahead of us. The twosome behind us never asked to play through, and nobody said a word to us about our pace for the first 14 holes. Then, as we walked onto the 15th around 2:45, a marshal approached us, claimed there had been "multiple complaints," and admonished us to speed up. Speed up and go where, exactly? We were still directly behind another foursome. We had stopped briefly at the food truck near the seventh hole and purchased drinks from the beverage cart. Those are amenities Pumpkin Ridge deliberately provides and profits from. If guests cannot use them without throwing the schedule into disarray, the problem is an overpacked tee sheet and poor course management--not the customers paying premium prices. We finished in approximately four and a half hours on a packed holiday without ever losing our position behind the group ahead. Guests should not spend a nearly $700 afternoon at a supposedly high-end course feeling rushed, blamed, and unwelcome because management cannot competently manage its own tee sheet. The customer service afterward was no better. I had to chase Assistant General Manager Sebastian Stewart for a response. What eventually arrived amounted to a boilerplate apology, a promise to "review" the situation internally, and no substantive follow-up or meaningful attempt to address the experience. Even the service recovery felt indifferent and low-effort. Great course. Outdated technology, municipal-level hospitality, and remarkably poor course management. Pumpkin Ridge appears to believe its reputation and scenery are enough to justify premium pricing. They are not. If you actually want a premium golf experience, spend your money at The Reserve or Langdon Farms. A high-end experience should include clear expectations, competent pace management, modern amenities, and genuine hospitality--not merely attractive fairways and an inflated green fee. None of the four of us plans to return.

My son is 4 and is on the spectrum- finding a place he is comfortable at and well cared for has not been easy. We are always greeted by every single person who works there and the staff at the kids club is so incredibly welcoming and you can tell they really care about the kids. My son asks to go to the gym every single day - he has made friends, he is talking more, he is becoming much more independent and it is because of Villa Sports. Stacey has went out of her way to give me updates on my son and I feel like this place is so lucky to have her, and so is every kid that goes here. If I could list every kids club staff member I would because I truly love all of them. If you have kids, this place is for you! No question about it.
