A week of cranky clients, shaky deals, and endless meetings. Not to mention the homefront, where the dryer broke, the moles awoke, and the dog ate his way through the front door screen.

Sounds to us like the perfect day for a different kind of power play out at Persimmon, a semi-private club always open to the public. 

Instead of the urban hustle, the bumper-to-bumper bustle, the concrete canyons and monoliths of steel, your outlook at Persimmon is a whole world apart, though mere minutes away from downtown Portland's clatter and crowds. Here, you're surrounded by forested hills ... rolling greens ... and the snowy peaks of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams.

Imagine: two, four or even more consecutive hours with no phones, no faxes, no E-mail — no kidding! Just 6,445 yards of peace and quiet and spectacular Oregon beauty along 18-hole championship course, interrupted only by the joyous sound of the occasional birdie. If your drive for constant improvement proves an impossible habit to break, head directly to our Golf Shop to pick up pointers from our PGA pros. Or try a totally different experience: kick back and relax at our popular Persimmon Grille.
