Broadmoor is one of Portland's most popular golf courses. The history of the course dates back to 1931 when six sisters decided to convert their parents Rose City Dairy operation into a golf course. A friend named George Junor designed and supervised the layout. The course opened on Labor Day of 1931 and was popular right from the start. Play was heavy until the winter months set in and then the course ran into financial difficulties. The depression made it hard for people to afford the thirty-cent greens fee so the sisters performed most of the duties themselves and turned the course into the center of many other activities besides golf. Dances in the clubhouse, pheasant hunts, and sledding and tobogganing provided entertainment and an income throughout the depression. In 1948, the Columbia River burst it's banks and buried the course under fifteen feet of water and six feet of mud. Charlie Beauford, the greenskeeper at the time of the Vanport Flood, saved all of Broadmoor's greens by waiting for them to dry, scraping them clean, and replanting. Today, Broadmoor is a 6404 yard par 72 that spreads over 220 acres of beautiful land with a variety of interesting hazards. Undulating fairways, a variety of trees, green side bunkers, and the Broadmoor Lake and slough provide plenty of challenge throughout the course. Both high and low handicapper's will find this course a pleasurable experience.
