Golf in King City

King City is a small incorporated city in Washington County, a planned retirement community south of Tigard that was developed in the 1960s with recreational amenities built into its master plan. The Summerfield area and King City share this retirement-community planning heritage, positioning golf as a central residential amenity rather than a separate commercial enterprise. The surrounding Tualatin Valley terrain is flat and well-suited to course development, and the community's position within the southwest metro puts it within reach of Portland's broader amenities while maintaining its own quiet residential identity. The golf course at King City was built as a central amenity of the original community plan, reflecting a design philosophy that placed recreation at the core of retirement living. Washington County's mild climate supports year-round play that residents use regularly.
