Golf in Johnson City

Johnson City is a small incorporated city in Clackamas County, a community within the greater Portland metropolitan area that has maintained its independent municipal identity despite being surrounded by the larger communities of Milwaukie, Gladstone, and Oregon City. The area sits in the lower Clackamas River basin, where the Willamette joins from the north and the suburban fabric of the east metro spreads across the valley floor. Golf in this part of Clackamas County is accessible within a short drive to multiple courses, and the community's small scale places it squarely in the recreational orbit of the broader metro. Clackamas County's position at the Metro's southern edge gives Johnson City residents access to both Portland's urban amenities and the more rural recreational landscape of the Cascade foothills, with golf representing one element of a broader outdoor culture here.
