Golf in Dunthorpe

Dunthorpe is an unincorporated Multnomah County community on the west bank of the Willamette River south of Portland, one of the metropolitan area's most exclusive residential addresses. The terrain here drops from the West Hills to the river in a series of elevated parcels with views across the water toward Lake Oswego and the Cascades on the eastern horizon. Country clubs and private estates characterize the neighborhood's land use, and the golf facilities serving this population reflect that exclusivity. Dunthorpe occupies a geographic niche — close to Portland but distinctly removed from its urban character — that has historically made it a preferred address for those who can afford the choice.
