General Course Description\"Kohl<\/a><\/h2>\n

Kohl Creek Golf Course is a 9-hole public course southeast of Portland,.\u00a0 The new barn-shaped clubhouse introduces you to the feel of the course –a rural course with a nice family feel. Kohl Creek is a pretty open course.\u00a0 Although short overall, Kohl Creek has some long holes (a 215-yard par 3 and a 401-yard par 4). Maintained well, but some of the fairways and the greens can be a bit patchy.\u00a0 \u00a0Kohl Creek Golf Course has a very peaceful and laid-back atmosphere and has a great staff. In the off season, the clubhouse maybe closed and you use the honor box. Flat and short with many trees, it is a nice walk.<\/p>\n

Course History<\/h2>\n

Opened in 1996 as Sandelie West Nine, a 9-hole public course.\u00a0 For a few years, it was combined with some of the holes of the former neighboring golf course (the no-longer-existing Sandelie) as part of an 18-hole option. The course changed its name and converted to a 6-hole format (to promote a faster play) in 2019. In 2020, the course returned to its present 9-hole layout.<\/p>\n

I Wish I Would Have Known Before I Played\"Kohl<\/a><\/h2>\n

The green on the par-4, 1st hole is to the left of the large oak. with a mound in front to push your ball onto the green. The green on the par-3, 5th hole has a significant ridge-back coming from the left.<\/p>\n

Did You Know<\/h2>\n

The Kaiser family homesteaded in the area in the 1890s. They designed and built the course, and have owned and operated it ever since.<\/p>\n

Good For Them<\/h2>\n

Why Play This Course\"Kohl<\/a><\/h2>\n

Open, laid back, family friendly, course that is good to learn on, but could still be a challenge.\u00a0 On most weekdays it may be the quietest course in the Portland metro area.<\/p>\n
