Has anyone here used Golf Tec for lessons? I’m a semi beginner, looking to improve my fundamentals, and there is a Golf Tec near my house.

Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I’m 34 and live in NW Portland (Slabtown). I work from home and I’ve been tempted to join a club for a couple years but haven’t pulled the trigger. It’s hard to justify the cost when clubs like Columbia edgewater and PGC are 20-30 minutes away, worse with traffic. Not sure I’d get the actual value (really just care about the golf and golf facilities) if I can’t pop over quickly before or after work for a quick 9 a couple times a week. Anyone been in a similar situation or joined a club in the past few years with thoughts?

Hi all, Florida golfer here that is making a trip over to Beaverton, Oregon the week of Aug 24. Arriving Monday night and have all day Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon to play golf… (still not enough time) Would appreciate any recommendations as my long time playing partner and I have around 7/8 handicaps. Don’t mind spending a little coin and driving towards Bandon dunes. Also wouldn’t mind any playing partners if people are available.

Heard that if I pester the clubhouse for Bandon that there could possibly be cancellations? Don’t know how true that is and or if I would be an a**hole for that?
TIA

I can't recommend it enough. 25$ minimum crowds, you are right on the action when you are there. The players are ungodly good. The Leaderboard is tight as well. Going to be a fun Sunday

Does anyone know if collared shirts are required at Camas Meadows? The website doesn’t say specifically.

Raffling off 8 total tickets sold in pairs of 2 — so 4 total sets.

Please add your favorite golf memory or why you’d like them and I’ll DM my favorite responses at 12PM today.

Visiting Portland for a wedding next week and I’m looking to play golf Saturday morning, but seems I am SOL. Any recommendations?

Which course, North or South, do you like better and why?

Hi Team,

It's my last day off before starting a new job, I'm looking for a fun 18 as a treat myself moment before another school year of hard work.

I'm torn between The Reserve South, or Pumpkin Ridge. I've played neither before. For context I'm a 24ish handicap, and in the midst of my second year playing. I don't mind challenge, but also would love to not get murdered. Which one is the one to go with?

Was wondering where I can find a range that I can hit from grass and not turf?

Thanks-

The wife and I are on the lookout for other couples that enjoy playing together, any other couples on here?
