Portland Golf Club is best known for its very special course design.
Traditional Course Layout
A number of well recognized professionals have designed the course layout of PGC. For example, Robert Trent Jones established a design goal “to make the player stop and think before swinging”. This concept is prevalent throughout the course, with trees, greens, and hazards all proving to be key variables in a player’s shot selection.
Greens Beyond Compare
Combining magnificent design with extreme speed, PGC’s greens are highly regarded throughout the golfing community. The complexity of the greens rewards players that emphasize their short game, while providing a great variety of shots to all.
A Setting of Splendor
To walk the fairways of Portland Golf Club is a treat in and of itself. Its wide array of natural wonders, including water features, tree-lined fairways, manicured greens, and floral configurations, are a bonus to the golfer.
