About this course

Charbonneau Golf Club's Yellow Course is part of a residential golf community in Wilsonville, Oregon, designed by Ted Robinson and opened in the mid-1970s. Robinson, a California-based architect known for incorporating water features into his designs, created this layout as one of three nine-hole courses at the property. The Yellow Course combines with the Red and Blue nines to offer various eighteen-hole combinations for members and their guests. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Willamette Valley, with the Willamette River nearby influencing the broader landscape. Robinson's design features water hazards on several holes, along with mature trees that frame fairways and define playing corridors. The layout reflects the architectural preferences of its era, with strategic bunkering and greens that require thoughtful approach play. Charbonneau operates primarily as a private club serving the residential community that developed around the golf courses. The facility provides a social and recreational center for residents in this planned development between Portland and Salem. The three-nine configuration allows for variety in course setup and accommodates different levels of play, from casual rounds to member competitions. The setting offers views of the surrounding valley and, on clear days, distant Cascade peaks that form the backdrop to much of western Oregon golf.

Getting there

Charbonneau Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland south of Portland, Oregon, most easily reached via Portland International Airport (PDX), roughly forty minutes north by car through the Willamette Valley. The drive south from PDX traces Interstate 5 before peeling away onto quieter state routes that wind through hazelnut orchards and open pasture, a gradual transition from urban sprawl into the gentler rhythms of rural Clackamas County. Private aviation options are available at nearby Portland-Hillsboro Airport (HIO), a short hop from the club for those seeking a more discreet arrival. The final miles unfold along country roads lined with Douglas fir and oak, delivering you to Charbonneau's gated entrance - a serene threshold between the Willamette's agricultural character and the manicured precision of the club grounds.
