The Portland Golf Club is a private golf club in the northwest United States, in suburban Portland, Oregon. It is located in the unincorporated Raleigh Hills area of eastern Washington County, southwest of downtown Portland and east of Beaverton.
PGC was established 110 years ago in the winter of 1914, when a group of nine businessmen assembled to form a new club after leaving their respective clubs. [3] The present site was chosen due to its relation to the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway's interurban railroad line with frequent passenger service to the site because automobiles and roads were few.
The PGA Championship, then a match play competition, was held at the club and won by Ben Hogan in 1946. [4] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as the Portland Golf Club Clubhouse and Golf Course, in 2023. [2]
