Plan Your Portland Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Craft beer capital meets surprisingly great urban golf

Portland delivers a world-class food and drink scene with more breweries per capita than any US city, plus several quality courses within 30 minutes of downtown. The bar scene is legendary, group lodging options are plentiful, and the non-golf activities rival any PNW destination. Best for groups who want nightlife alongside their golf.
