Course Overview

Wildwood Golf Course, situated just northwest of Portland in Oregon, offers an 18-hole experience that balances challenge and natural charm within a lush, parkland setting. This public course is known for its undulating terrain and mature trees that frame fairways and greens, creating an environment that encourages strategic shot making without overwhelming players of all skill levels. The layout demands versatility from golfers, with elevation changes that test stamina and precision while rewarding thoughtful play rather than power alone.

The greens at Wildwood stand out for their size and responsiveness, providing fast, true putting surfaces that invite careful reading and smooth execution.

This course’s design encourages a rhythmic flow, where variations in shot shape and trajectory are rewarded, making it a rewarding venue for both seasoned golfers seeking challenge and those looking to improve their game.

Wildwood’s setting feels distinctly Pacific Northwest. Towering evergreens border several holes, casting shifting shadows that play with light throughout the day. Seasonal changes bring vibrant contrasts in foliage, enhancing the sensory experience from tee to green. Despite periods of wet weather typical in this region, the course’s effective drainage means it remains playable and well-conditioned year-round, a feature praised by frequent visitors.

Facilities complement the on-course experience with a friendly clubhouse offering essential amenities, a well-stocked pro shop, and a practice area designed for warming up or refining technique before play. Walking the course is encouraged to fully appreciate the rolling hills and scenery, although carts are available and recommended during wetter or colder months to ease the journey.

With a reputation for attentive staff and a layout that rewards creativity and adaptability, Wildwood Golf Course stands as a rewarding option for Portland-area golfers.

One of the nicer courses in Portland metro area. It drains well so it's not a bad place to play in the 6 months a year when we have nothing but rain here. It is a bit hilly so if you're not in shape a cart is recommended. One of my favorites and a just beautiful, park like setting course.

A fairly challenging course in an absolutely beautiful setting. You’ll get a workout if you walk but it’s definitely doable. I love the merch in the shop!

Played Wildwood today for the first time and will certainly not be the last! Great course with a slightly quirky design but lots of fun. Requires lots of different shots to make your way around. I enjoyed the entire course, only wish the driving range was bigger or had better mats. Be careful hitting balls near the tee holes there are metal clips that could damage your clubs. Besides that everything was great, course was in really good shape with a few wets spots but the greens were great!
