Colwood Golf Center

I’ve been there about twenty times now. Great facility. Driving range mats and balls are replaced a lot more than most places which gets high marks from me. The bays are a mix of shaded and open; reasonable prices, especially if you get a range card. Short game area across the highway is one of the largest I’ve been to. The course itself is a par 3 and kept in very good shape; greens are heavily contoured and interesting. The staff is friendly and efficient, there’s free ice water in the clubhouse… good stuff. Special mention to teaching pro Tom Mueller who helped turn my flippy slice into something more efficient in just two lessons. I’d recommend this place to anybody of any age (very family friendly environment). Oh and the putting green is quite good for practice.

Nice layout for a fun par 3 course. Very friendly and I always have a good time here. Most holes are hilly but otherwise present few surprises. Very few bunkers and no water, but some swampy thickets to avoid. Some greens offer challenges; many are fairly large, but also often slow. Bring your driver for the 197-yard uphill 6th hole.

One of the few par 3 courses in the Portland area, and a stand out at that. Very affordable and well maintained. Solid driving range and practice facility. Often busy but not too busy. Casual compared to most courses so it's well suited for beginners but developed players will have a good time working on their short irons and short game.
