This course is a “Ready Golf” course and as such is designed for all players to play only 1 ball per paid green fee. A person observed in violation of this basic golf etiquette by playing more than 1 ball may be escorted from the course without a refund.

Power and Pull Carts:

503-518-2846.

WE CAN NOT GUARANTEE CART AVAILABILITY WITHOUT PRIOR RESERVATION.

  • You must be 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s license to rent or drive a powered golf cart.
  • Power carts and Pull Carts should be kept at least 30 feet from the greens and never driven or pulled across any part of the green.
  • Power carts are limited to 2 riders and 2 sets of clubs.
  • No more than 2 power carts are allowed per 4-some.
  • Always put clubs and carts to the “tee side” of the green.
  • Keep carts on cart paths on all par 3 holes.
  • There is a “trail fee” charged for all modes of golfer transport brought onto Oregon City Golf Course. (Personal power cart, Finn, golf boards, golf scooters, and so on.)

Divot/Ball Mark Repair:

  • Replace all divots; repair all ball marks on the greens; repair all sand bunkers and remind others to do the same.
  • On all tees, divots should be replaced immediately, especially on the short holes where iron divots are taken.
  • Taking divots on practice shots is unnecessary and should be avoided.
  • Fairway divots should be replaced at once and pressed down properly.
  • Pitch marks on the greens should be repaired by loosening up and leveling off the impacted hole prior to putting out.

On the Green:

  • Do not practice approaching, chipping to, or putting on regular greens. There is a practice green provided free of charge for this activity.
  • Do not stand or step within 18 inches of the hole while holding the flag or retrieving your ball.
  • Likewise, do not use your putter to retrieve your ball from the cup. It is poor golf etiquette; and is likely to result in damage to the cup, leaving a fellow golfer with a destroyed edge.
  • Line up your putt before your turn.
  • Move off the green promptly when holed out.
  • Enter your score when on the next tee.

Speed of Play:  Play Ready Golf

  • Forget the Honor System. Whoever gets to the tee, hits first.
  • Keep up with the group ahead.
  • Make every effort to adhere to the hole-by-hole “target times” indicated on the scorecard. 9-holes – 2:02 hours / 18-holes – 4:05 hours.
  • To catch up quickly- As soon as the first person in the group has putted out, that person goes to the next tee and hits.
  • Move off the green promptly when holed out and players are behind you.
  • With new players, golf can become frustrating quickly. It is helpful to limit the number of shots in the fairway to 5 then pick up the ball and advance it to the putting green.
  • Once there limit the number of putts to 3 then move on to the next hole.
  • You can putt with the flagstick in. There is no penalty for hitting the flagstick.
  • When a player loses a ball, or for any other reason holds up players behind him, he should motion the players through. (Lost ball searches should be limited to 3 minutes.)
  • Slow-playing golfers should let faster-playing golfers go through.
  • Players entering the Clubhouse for refreshments after finishing No. 9 forfeit their turning rights to players coming from behind them from No. 9.
  • No player shall start on Hole #10 while players are approaching the No. 9 green.
  • No ice chests are allowed.
