Our company recently held an event at Claremont Golf Club, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire event. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their positive attitude made all the difference. The venue was beautiful, well-maintained, and provided the perfect setting for our event. A big thank you to the entire team for their excellent service and hospitality. I highly recommend Claremont Golf Club for corporate events, gatherings, or any special occasion. We look forward to returning in the future!
Nice layout, good conditioning especially the greens. Of course no area course is perfect during the soggy season but Claremont is still above average if you stay out of the rough (I know..). Pace of play is managed nicely here, there is a 2hr15min target which I feel is pretty generous. I play weekly with some folks who are not...very good (yet). But we have no issues keeping pace and having a blast. Some people just can't abide by the idea that a marshal approaching them isn't some kind of terrible affront and will react negatively, but that's on them. For the majority of golfers on the course the marshals (who apparently actually do something unlike some other courses given the angry reactions in the reviews) are very much appreciated. Starters can be a bit gruff sometimes but I like to remember that they are volunteers doing a tough job, not trained customer service pros. They deal with many people treating a golf round like a haircut appointment where being a minute late isn't a big deal. On a golf course with a full tee sheet, being a minute late IS a big deal. So if you can't abide by the policy on the reservation that you probably skipped when clicking on the button, then not sure what I can say about that.
While the golf course itself is beautiful, the customer experience left a lot to be desired. We paid $45 per person for 9 holes, and on the very first hole we were approached mid-play and told to move along because we were allegedly "taking too long." At that point, our group of four had been playing for only about 12 minutes and were simply finishing our putts. There was also no group waiting behind us, so the comment felt unnecessary. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was that the ranger proceeded to watch us throughout the entirety of the second hole. We understand golf etiquette and pace-of-play expectations, and we were being respectful and mindful of both. Being monitored so closely felt excessive and unwarranted. Ironically, we soon caught up to the group in front of us and ended up waiting to tee off on nearly every remaining hole. At no point did the group behind us have to wait on us. This makes the earlier criticism of our pace even more confusing. This was my second visit to Claremont and, unfortunately, the second time I've had a negative interaction with the same ranger. His behavior has completely turned me off from returning. Paying $45 for 9 holes only to be rushed beyond the course's own stated pace-of-play expectations is unacceptable.
Claremont Golf Club located NW Portland area. A bit expensive for 9 holes @ 28 bucks, but nonetheless they keep it in great shape. Greens always seem to roll pretty true, speed is usually medium. Claremont offers a nice chipping and putting green to warm up on with 2 hitting bays. The course can play a little slow. Claremont is for all levels of skill, must check out if your an avid golfer or just looking for a fun round of 9 hole golf.
I’ve golfed here numerous times throughout the years and Claremont offers great prices year round. The course is always in great playing condition thanks to the maintenance staff and residents. Staff are always friendly. Playing here on a sunny day is one of my favorite things to do, it offers challenges like a long Par 5 on hole 2 and then one of my favorite holes being the Dogleg on hole 5. I 100% recommend this golf course to new or experienced golfers as it is one of my favorite courses in the area.
