The Children’s Course is an absolutely wonderful place for a celebration or event! The beautiful new building space overlooks the golf course, and was perfect for our catered event of 50 guests for my mom’s Celebration of Life! I worked alongside Denise Townsend on behalf of 1st Tee several years ago, and she is always amazing to work with. Thank you for everything!

Course was great to take my 10 year old. He had a great time. Greens were very soft. A few patchy spots, but for the price and the experience you can't beat it!

A fun small golf course built with a complete structural envelope made of KLH Austrian Spruce CLT (cross laminated timber) panels. Designed by ORANGE WALL Studios and built by Carpentry Plus, Inc.

I really enjoy playing here. It's very nice and well kept. Holes are surprisingly a nice length, 90/150 depending on tee placement. Great way to practice approach shots you may have on longer courses. Seniors 12 dollars. Can challenge your carry distances. Staff is very nice, and they do a lot for kids here. First Tee.

Super fun course, played here when I was traveling through Portland. Perfect place to bring kids, but also a great short game practice for adults. The name made me think adults weren't welcomed but I called and they were super nice. Played all 9 holes in about an hour. Greens were crazy soft, but other than that it was a ton of fun for the price.

I love coming to this course. It is a 9 hole "children" course, but it is a GREATboportunity to work on your iron game. All the staff is friendly and personable. The least time I went, I got to meat Neal. He gave me a few tips on my swing and positioning. He even played a quick 2 holes with me. Definitely was a top 3 memorable golf experience for me and I will be back soon!!

The City of Gladstone recently rented the event space at the Campbell Course to host an important dinner event. The space is beautiful and boasts floor to ceiling windows with a view of the meticulously maintained golf course. Denise, and other staff members were easy to work with and made the entire event planning process smooth. We highly recommend checking out The Campbell Course for your next event.

Never been on the course but my window overlooks it, nicely maintained and fairly busy despite the inclement PNW weather. They cater to all skill levels/ages and offer a 9 hole par 3 course that takes roughly 1.5-2 hours to complete. They offer equipment rental and also cart rental but only when the ground is firm enough to do so, usually around May from what I gather.
