Very Muddy

I played a Greenback on February 21, 2024. I would not recommend playing this course in any seasons except for summer. The course is very wet and muddy. Every steps is stepping on muddy and get my shoes and push cart muddy. Tried to stay on the cart path but it was wet with standing water, it needs to be re-paved. There was potholes and standing waters. Overall, it needs better maintenance.

Too soggy for good play

But excellent you are a mudder. Love the course but it is over saturated right now. Trish behind the desk in the club house is a gem! Nice to see both male and female staff.

Good shape given the time of year

Course was in good shape give the very wet month prior. Greens were even and fast, fairways in pretty good shape, not too soggy. Bunkers were hard packed with some standing water, but that’s to be expected given the time of year and amount of rain. Played 18 in 3:10.

Good day considering

Considering the greens being recently punched, the course was in condition. Pace of play was good in the AM. I appreciate this course and it’s variety of holes.

Greenback Heron Lakes

Greens were in great condition, there were a number of areas near the edge of fairways that needed some attention. (thin to no grass and not watered) Overall probably the best value in Portland. Pace of play was good, 4 hours on the dot, but I have seen it slower at times. Once again, the greens are great for a city owned course, smooth, and decent speed.
