Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Charbonneau and the surrounding Portland Metro golf market.
Charbonneau is a 1972-79 planned-unit development in Wilsonville, Clackamas County, built by Willamette Factors on 477 acres of former Willamette River farmland, with its 27-hole golf course included specifically to satisfy Clackamas County's 25%-open-space PUD mandate. Today the district holds roughly 1,627 residential units -- single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, gated executive estates, waterfront properties, an assisted-living center, and apartments -- with every household a mandatory member of the community-wide 'Charbonneau Country Club' homeowners association, whose dues fund the clubhouse, main-thoroughfare landscaping, and nightly security patrols. Golf itself is owned and operated by a legally separate for-profit entity, Charbonneau Golf Club, Inc. (owned by the HOA), and requires its own separate paid annual membership or green fees -- a distinction easy to miss given the shared 'Charbonneau' branding, and one this research confirmed explicitly rather than assuming bundled access from the HOA's name.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Every household is a mandatory HOA member, but golf playing privileges require a separate paid annual membership (documented at $130-$160/month depending on tier) through the distinct Charbonneau Golf Club, Inc. entity -- HOA dues alone do not include golf access.
Living in Charbonneau
One of Oregon's earliest large planned communities, spanning a wide range of housing types from condos to waterfront and gated executive estates, unified under one mandatory master HOA built directly around the golf course as its centerpiece amenity.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Beyond golf, residents have access to a tennis club, a Willamette River marina, and an on-site commercial/business center with restaurants, all supported by mandatory HOA dues.
