General Course Description
A pleasant and private 18-hole parkland course that is too often forgotten as an alternative country club in the Portland area (probably because of the powerlines that dominate the practice area, but only come into play on one hole).
Course History
There is conflicting information about the original opening date and original course architect. Some websites have the course opening in 1958, and the course has it as 1962. Based on newspaper stories at the time, it appears that the club was formed in 1962 and that the first 9 holes opened on June 1, 1964.
Why It Is There
Built as part of a residential subdivision by Park City Corporation. After an interesting ownership history and protection by the member/residents, the course has a steady membership.
I Wish I Would Have Known Before I Played
The shorter holes are tighter. No need to bomb it off the tee to score well on those holes (you will have more open landing areas on the longer holes). Note the slight fairway rises, particularly on the 5th, 11th, and 18th holes, as you might need an extra club (some rises are more noticeable, such as on the approach at 17).
Did You Know
Members won the USGA Amateur Public Links Championship in consecutive years: Fred Haney in 1971 and Bob Allard in 1972.

The course donates to the Evans Scholarship fund. The course is the home course for Westview and Liberty High Schools. The course hosts women’s clinics for members and non-members.
Why Play This Course
A pleasant course that is well maintained, with some interesting holes and a great staff. As a club, it is affordable, and the membership is active, friendly, and cares about golf and the course (I saw more divot and ball mark repairs than I have seen on any other course – a sign of great course appreciation).
9-Hole Course
Of the three facilities, Rock Creek is the most challenging. Due to its extreme hills and narrow fairways on the back nine. While the front nine is mostly flat and open with short par 4s and long par 3s. Rock Creek also offers Family Tees to help even the odds for less experienced golfers.

Rock Creek's snack bar serves the basic golfer staples: candy, chips, soda, water and beer.
