Golf:
- Pumpkin Ridge Golf
Course
12930 Old Pumpkin Ridge Road, North Plains, OR
503.647.4747
Hailed as one of the nation's premier semi-private golf
courses, Ghost Creek's Robert Cupp-designed layout
emulates traditional golf course architecture with
gently rolling terrain and a creek that reappears
throughout. Ghost Creek was home to the NIKE TOUR
Championships in 1993 and 1994 and was rated in 2005 in
Golf Magazine's Top 100 Places You Can Play.
The Reserve
4805 SW 229th Ave., Aloha, OR
503.649.8191
When it comes to golf courses, most players would agree
with silverscreen star Mae West's assertion that "too
much of a good this is wonderful." If one top notch
18-hole course is good, than two of them are absolutely
inspirational. Considered by many dedicated golfers to
be the state's two finest playing winter courses, the
North Course and the South Course deliver playing
experiences so diverse so it's a wonder they occupy
adjacent grounds.
Local Site Seeing:

Portland Japanese
Garden
611 SW Kingston Ave. Portland, OR 97205
503.223.1321
At the heart of a Japanese garden is harmony with
nature. Through the careful use of plants, stones, and
water, areas of serene and quiet beauty emerge. These
peaceful spots in the Garden lend themselves to
meditation and contemplation. The 5.5 acre Japanese
Garden is composed of five distinct garden styles.
Portland Rose

The oldest public garden of its kind in the United
States! Tucked between the Japanese Garden, Hoyt

Park, the garden contains 10,000 plantings of 550
