The course needs a ranger. A couple came off 18 and jumped ahead of us on one. Very slow play until that couple bailed on hole eight and went back to four. Tank tops and loud music are the norm. Nothing wrong with that, but we are there to golf, not party. Course was in bad shape. On the bright side, the area is very scenic.

The employees were great, however the golfers we encountered were not very curious and constantly were way too close and a couple times actually hit past us on the same hole we were trying to do. That drops the stars and I’m not sure I’ll go back because of them. That said the course does have some interesting holes laid out. The back 9 has at least one hole I’d not be able to do without taking a drop on the far side of a water hazard but that’s a me problem.

Brown grass every where which is odd considering the rain weve had. Hard patchy greens weren't fun. Pace of play was ok and had the best bra/bun of the year at the club house. I'd probably play it if I lived next door but wouldn't drive 90 min again to play it. The pic is of a tree hanging over and in the middle of rhe teebox. Hard to grip and rip

The course at Portage Country Club was in "okay" shape, and we had a good round of golf. Service, however, was disappointing. The beverage cart and bar staff weren’t rude—just not personable. Our server Katie was friendly, but we were asked to move tables twice: once for no clear reason, and again because “you’ve been here a long time,” even though we were consistently ordering food and drinks—and plenty of other tables were open. We were then sent outside and never checked on again. Golf was enjoyable, but the overall hospitality needs improvement.

Nice course, friendly staff. Would definitely go back. Group of 4 let us play through which was very nice of them!

Greens are terrible and designed like a mini golf course. I’d rather putt in a bunker than the “greens”, it honestly already felt like that though considering there was WAY too much sand on the greens. Hit a nice shot onto the green? No you didn’t. It’s rolling off. Don’t waste 60$ playing here, you’d probably have more fun playing on the range there (which is also questionable).

Portage Golf Club is a very nice 18 hole course with a mix of challenges for all golfers. From hilly terrain and mature trees, to sand traps and ponds, the course is always fun to play. The fairways, traps, and greens are nicely groomed and in good shape. After the round, it's also nice to catch a beverage and meal at the bar/restaurant on the course geounds. Meals are priced fairly and always very tasty. Our foursome enjoys Portage Golf Club and will go back again!

Met my son at the restaraunt. Beautiful view of Swan lake with a casual atmosphere. Lunch was a chicken salad sandwich that was crispy and fresh on a cranberry rye. Nicely paired with fries. My first time golfing in 3 years. At 76 I was challenged to finish, but the greens were in good shape and challenging... Sand traps were clean, but players were not using brakes that were available. The layout was well designed. So, in spite of my feeble attempt at a game I love the course held me in appreciation of what this game is designed for...I will be back,

Some really great improvements already and by the looks of it there is more to come.

Beautiful course, but they need to come up with a different second hole. The greens are the best I have played on for many years. Very fast, true and in amazing condition. I initially thought the small putting green was artificial turf, but it wasn't. All of the regular greens were in the same condition.

Fun little track. Challenging enough for good golfers but open enough for high handicappers. Greens were not fast but it was a nice change
