Thinking About Living in The Oregon Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Oregon Golf Club and the surrounding Portland Metro golf market.
The Oregon Golf Club opened for play in 1992 on 327 acres of rolling Petes Mountain Road terrain in West Linn, Clackamas County, designed by PGA Tour professional Peter Jacobsen together with instructor Jim Hardy and architect Ken Kavanaugh. The par-72, 7,052-yard course plays with views toward Mt. Hood and has been the club's sole 18-hole layout since founding in 1989. As a private club, it requires membership for regular play, though this research could not confirm specific current initiation fees, an equity-versus-non-equity structure, or waitlist status from a first-party source this session.\n\nWhat distinguishes this club from several comparable Portland-area private clubs researched in this same batch is a genuine, independently documented residential-integration signal: multiple real-estate listings for Petes Mountain Road properties describe gated custom estates directly bordering the course's fairways, including one marketed as an estate 'bordering the scenic 15th & 16th fairways' and another as a 'gated estate overlooking the Oregon Golf Club.' This is real on-course luxury residential development, not merely a generically desirable surrounding area -- the same distinction that separated this club from Portland Golf Club, Tualatin Country Club, and Riverside Golf & Country Club, all researched in this batch and excluded for lacking a comparable residential tie.\n\nThe club also carries genuine current national relevance: since 2021 it has hosted the LPGA Tour's Cambia/Standard Portland Classic, the tour's only Pacific Northwest stop and one of its longest-running non-major events, continuing through the 2026 season. This is a meaningfully different (and stronger) tournament-hosting record than the 1997-2008 Safeway Classic years some third-party sources mistakenly attribute to this club -- see buyer_notes for the correction.
Golf & Course

Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The club is confirmed private, requiring membership for regular play, but this research could not confirm from a first-party source whether membership follows an equity or non-equity structure, current initiation fees, or waitlist status -- contact the club's Membership Director directly. No evidence was found that any nearby home purchase includes or requires club membership.
Living in The Oregon Golf Club
Petes Mountain Road, the road on which the club sits, is home to multiple gated custom estates and luxury homes bordering the course directly, per independent real-estate listings -- but this research did not find a single formally named subdivision, HOA, or platted development uniting these properties; they read as individual luxury estates rather than one cohesive planned community.
Location & Surrounding Area
Located at 25700 SW Petes Mountain Rd, West Linn, Clackamas County, in the acreage-estate area known locally as Petes Mountain, alongside the similarly estate-zoned Stafford Hills area.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current membership structure (equity vs. non-equity), initiation fees, dues, and waitlist status directly with the club -- no first-party figures were found this session.
- Confirm whether any of the gated Petes Mountain Road estates form a single formal HOA or subdivision, or remain individual custom properties -- not resolved this session.
- Do not repeat the 1997-2008 Safeway Classic hosting claim for this club -- corrected in buyer_notes; that era was hosted at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.
Notable
- Currently the annual host (since 2021) of the LPGA Tour's Cambia/Standard Portland Classic -- the tour's only Pacific Northwest stop and one of its longest-running non-major events -- continuing through the 2026 season.
- The tournament relocated here from Columbia Edgewater Country Club in 2021, with organizers explicitly citing rising homelessness concerns in the area surrounding that club's Portland-airport-area location.
- Designed by PGA Tour professional and Portland native Peter Jacobsen together with instructor Jim Hardy.
