Broadmoor Golf Course

Broadmoor Golf Course occupies a residential setting in northeast Portland, designed by George Junor and opened in 1931. Junor, a Scottish-born architect who worked extensively in the Pacific Northwest during the early twentieth century, created a layout that fits within the relatively flat terrain characteristic of this part of the city. The course serves as a municipal facility operated by the City of Portland, making it part of the public golf infrastructure that has served the community for more than ninety years. The routing works through tree-lined corridors with modest elevation changes, typical of parkland courses built on Portland's east side. Mature trees frame many holes and come into play on approach shots, while small greens require accurate iron play. The design reflects the straightforward, accessible style common to municipal courses of its era, prioritizing playability for a wide range of golfers rather than severe challenge or dramatic features. Broadmoor functions as a neighborhood course where local golfers can walk nine or eighteen holes without the formality or expense of private club membership. The facility includes a modest clubhouse with basic amenities. As one of several municipal courses in Portland's system, Broadmoor contributes to the city's tradition of public golf access, maintaining the character of Depression-era municipal design while serving contemporary recreational needs in a densely populated urban area.
