Detailed description

Broadmoor Golf Course is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Portland, Oregon.

In 1931 six sisters decided to convert their parent's Rose City Dairy operation into a golf course. A friend named George Junor designed and supervised the layout. The course (Broadmoor Golf Course) opened on Labor Day of 1931.

Broadmoor is a 6,404-yard par 72 spread over 220 acres of beautiful land with various exciting hazards. Undulating fairways, multiple trees, greenside bunkers, and the Broadmoor Lake and slough provide plenty of challenges throughout the course.

The Course Closed October 25, 2000.

The land was sold for commercial development.

Reviews

The greens were fast and rolled well. The rest of the course could have been better kept. The real down side for me was the length from the whites. When one is in their seventies and still active enough to play golf, 6000 yards is a bit long unless you are a very good ball striker. I have more fun, with the game, if the tee's were at 5500/5700 yards. In Creswell.OR, they have an OGA approved combo card at about 5700 yards. I only wish the OGA would systematically allow all the courses to adopt a combo card for us older senior short hitters. Tri-Mountain in Ridgefield, WA has a set of yellow ties at about 5700 yards as do The Three Rivers course in Kelso. This would also tend to speed up play. The less strokes, the faster one moves.

Surprising abundance of wildlife for a property surrounded by heavy commercial properties. Bald Eagles, blue Heron, coyote, deer, and more, nearly every time I play here.

The airplanes coming in for a landing make this a bit tougher as you have to adjust for the noise.

Greens were great! Fairways not so good. Too closely mowed for the amount of rain. Played from the blue tees, this course gives even a good player a challenging 18 holes.

Good course but not too difficult. Not many bunkers. Fairways dry out in summer and ball rolls for miles. Could be harder.

The greens on this public golf course are as pristine as any private country club in this or any other area. It is a tree-lined course that penalizes errant drives, but one on which you can score if you are able to keep the ball in play.

With the 405-yard Par 4 tenth hole, as the opening to a challenging back nine, it is a treat to make par and a thrill whenver you make birdie. The drive must be kept under 250 yards to avoid the water hazard that crosses the fairway. For those who only hit it in the 200-yard area, the shot to the green makes the decision to go for it or lay up problematic, because the water is just over 50-yards across & once cleared, the remaining 45-yards to the green is all uphill. Shots that barely make it over the water, frequently roll back into the hazard and require another shot, leaving a minimum of 145-yards to the green, depending on where you decide to drop.

If you like some water challenges, wide open fairways, plus a couple of wildly uphill holes, this is a good course for you. Again, fairways and greens were in great condition. It is close to the airport, so there is some noise, especially when the National Guard jets take off.
