New Golf Cart Policy

Starting Monday, May 18^th, we will begin renting power carts for single rider use only, under the following restrictions: It will be restricted to one rider/one bag per cart. Only those living at the same address will be permitted to share a cart. Carts may not be reserved and will be provided on a first come first served basis. Payment for carts will only be taken at time of arrival and will only be by credit card and by phone. The cart must be returned immediately after your round so they can be disinfected after each use. Scorecards or pencils will not be placed in the carts.  

Violations will result in loss of power cart privileges, and any fees will be non-refundable. 

After receiving the news from Governor Kate Brown about Executive Order 20-21 (EO) to stay at home, we have been working to develop a plan that will allow us to stay open for golfers who still wish to get outside. We have been in contact with multiple organizations, including the Oregon Golf Association and GCSAA who have had direct contact with the Governors office about the EO. 
 
Through these communications, we have learned that golf will still be allowed as long as safe social distance measures are in place and no other activities are conducted.
 
In order for Claremont Golf Club to stay open, the following policy for all golfers who wish to play will go into effect immediately:

• Golfers are required to maintain a safe distance of at least 6 feet away from one another throughout their round.
• The Golf Shop will remain open for staff to work but will be closed to the public. Staff will be there to book tee times and check golfers in over the phone.
• Cash transactions are temporarily not accepted. 
• Golfers are not required to be paired together. We will do our very best to accommodate all golfers wishing to play by themselves. 
• The patio outside of the golf shop will be closed to all golfers for before and after round socializing.

 
Claremont Golf Club is taking the following actions on the course and after your round to help protect the players

• All rakes have been removed from the bunkers on the course. Please use your feet to smooth out any bunker you are in.
• All of the flag sticks are to remain in the holes and are not to be touched at anytime. 2’ putts are considered gimmies. 
• The cups have been raised 1” above the putting surface. When your ball hits the cup, your ball is considered holed. 
• All ball washers have been removed to prevent contact.
• Rental clubs will not be available at this time.
• Tee times are spaced out 15 minutes to prevent overcrowding around the first tee and practice green.

 
GENERAL REMINDERS

• Please do not touch other people’s golf items.
• Please do not remove the flag sticks.
• Remain a minimum of 6 feet from all other individuals on the golf course, including playing partners.
• Cover your cough and sneezes.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after visiting the restroom; before eating; after blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing or touching your face.
• Keep disinfectant with you.
• Avoid sharing water bottles.
• Avoid gatherings over 10 people.
• If you feel sick, please stay home.

 
Even though we are taking all the precautions so we can to stay open, we must advise all golfers to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others around. We will be sending out updates throughout this unprecedented time so be on the look out for those.

Please call the golf shop with any questions regarding this policy. 
 
Thank you and stay safe

Welcome to Claremont Golf Club

An Exceptional Portland Golf Course

Claremont Golf Club in the Bethany area has been a favorite destination of Portland golfers for many years because of its well-groomed fairways and greens and its outstanding pace of play. A round here is just plain fun for everyone, so why not visit soon to find out why golfers love our course so much?

Our nine-hole club is a regulation 3,068 yard course with two exciting par-5s and two par-3s that require your best strategy. This is a layout with interesting challenges for dedicated players, including risk-reward doglegs and lakes and ponds on several holes. But our course is also a great spot to learn for those beginning to play the game. Play 9 or play 18 at Claremont – it’s up to you. A par-72 round with us is a special value that should become a regular part of your golfing life.

We are proud of Claremont Golf Course. Come out and see us.
