Ghost Creek Course
Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club


About this course
Ghost Creek, carved into the rolling farmland of North Plains, Oregon, whispers tales of shot-making bravery and the humbling power of the Pacific Northwest elements. Carved out of a former pumpkin farm by Bob Cupp, Ghost Creek is a testament to a modern design philosophy that rewards risk, and punishes indecision. While the fairways are generous, the course's true character emerges in its demanding approaches to the green. The design of the green complexes encourages creative shot-making and strategic thinking, where players must account for subtle undulations and the ever-present coastal breeze. Unlike its sister course, Witch Hollow, this course will favor the player with a natural fade, but only slightly. Though absent of major championship pedigree, Ghost Creek plays host to many top amateur events in the Pacific Northwest. Ghost Creek is a challenging test for golfers of all skill levels. Off the course, members enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and a surprisingly active social calendar, which is made even more appealing by their famous BBQ Ribs, with an in-house, secret sauce.

Getting there
The journey to Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club begins at Portland International Airport, a straightforward thirty-minute drive west into the fertile farmland and rolling terrain of the Tualatin Valley. The route traces the urban edge before dissolving into open country, where the Cascade foothills rise distantly to the east and the landscape softens into the kind of pastoral Oregon quietude that feels a world apart from the city. As Highway 26 gives way to smaller roads threading through North Plains, the arrival at Pumpkin Ridge unfolds with understated grace - a meticulously maintained entrance leading to one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated modern golf sanctuaries, where championship pedigree meets the serene beauty of the northern Willamette Valley.
