Ghost Creek golf course at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club near Portland, Oregon

Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club near Portland is home to two golf courses, the private Witch Hollow and Ghost Creek course, which is public.

Ghost Creek is a Bob Cupp design, a familiar name in the northwest, as he also built the Top 100 course Crosswater at Sunriver Resort. Ghost Creek is no slouch either, ranked among the best golf courses in Oregon and considered Portland's most acclaimed (and expensive) public track. Conditions are country club worthy. Golf carts are allowed here but only on paths, which encourages walking on this rolling parkland golf course.
