Established in 1964, Mountain View Golf Club offers an 18-hole golf experience filled with characteristic holes and breathtaking views of beautiful Mt. Hood.
Despite its rural location, Mountain View is a course that just about everyone in the Portland, Oregon area has played. Thanks to excellent rates and the club’s willingness to host outside fundraiser events, it’s a place golfers are willing to drive to regularly.
The challenge really starts from the very first hole, with a tight tee shot guarded on the right by trees and OB stakes. From there, the course continues to give you tight looks off the tee until you get to the turn and things open up a bit. Course conditions, especially the greens, are excellent.
Mountain View’s signature hole is the par-three 12th. Voted the second most interesting hole in Oregon by the public in the Oregon Golf Association’s “Most Interesting Hole Series” in 2017, it’s a 184-yard shot from the blue tees (pictured right). Regulars tell you that whatever club you hit on the 140-yard 10th hole is the same club you’ll hit on the 12th hole. It drops nearly 200-feet from tee to green
In addition to great golf, Mountain View also offers a covered driving range, a chipping area, and generous putting green. The local professionals are available for lessons and can get you the latest gear from their large pro shop. The clubhouse also features a turn-stand, a breakfast/lunch cafe, and a full restaurant.
