They were significantly slowing down the pace of play for everybody and the two groups behind us caught up to us. Also, that's something that should've been mentioned in the clubhouse before the round started. We paid good money to come play and not deal with this. A notice would've fixed the problem. Also taking to consideration we're playing on punched greens, which again was not announced.

Keeping pace the entire round and guess how many times the PA/Marshall came to talk to us? THREE TIMES! 1 time is plenty, 2 times is fine, 3 is ridiculous. And the Marshall that stopped us the third time literally wouldn't stop talking for like five minutes about how we need to pick it up and now I'm thinking to myself is if you want us to play faster maybe you should stop talking to us.. by that time we group behind us was not waiting, and they hadn't been waiting for the majority of the round except the first three holes when we were getting our momentum going for the start of the round. And this lady comes up to us on hole 14 and tries to tell us that we're 30 minutes behind haha, laughable. You were perfectly on pace and she said " well it says here on the sheet that technically you guys are 30 minutes behind", I just laughed and told her we're good and she wouldn't stop yapping. I almost called the golf shop right then to complain but I resisted.

The course is very nice and well kept I will say, but if you're a beginner like me I would go to more chill and welcoming courses. Everybody I interacted with here was either rude or didn't seem like they wanted me there. Our tee time was 7:30 and was showed up to the box at 7:30 so running a little late I understand that's bad on my part. Every other golf course I've played at so far has been super nice about things like that, either having people go in place of us or combining us with a group or something and not making us feel too bad about it. The lady that was Marshall this morning was unbelievably rude, yelling at us to hurry up even following us down the whole first hole telling us to hurry up in the middle of our backswings even. That definitely set the mood for the round, we eventually let the group that was behind us play through anyway so the Marshall could have done that from the beginning and maybe been a little nicer. Overall actually a fun course to play I just won't be coming back.

After trying out multiple instructors in the Portland area (Redtail, Pumpkin Ridge, Rock Creek) and several others in the US (at least 50 hours of total instruction), Golftec stands out to me as one of the best setups for a golfer looking to improve. Michael's approach on the game is multifaceted, not just how best to swing a club. We go through swing mechanics on an indoor simulator and apply them during playing lessons on-course. Short-game and putting lessons have been the weakest part of my game, but now are a more confident part of my game. Instruction on strategy and course management has dramatically increased my percentage of hitting greens on approach shots. Michael's engineering background, his deep knowledge of the game, and his passion for instruction helped me better understand my golf game. I now am better equipped to self diagnose and fix day-to-day adjustments in my swing. The facility also allows for indoor practice on a simulator which is key for off-season improvement to ready for the new season. The video recording/playback in the practice sessions allows you to see whether or not the swing mechanics taught during lessons are being implemented during practice. This feature has increased the efficacy of my practice sessions in a way I couldn't have imagined previously. I can write another page worth of praise for Michael and Golftec, but it's just easier for you to try it yourself. Go in for a swing evaluation; it's $95 and it's likely you'll walk away from that session with actual solutions that work rather than YouTubing/Instagraming a fix that will cause more problems than it fixes.

Their online reservation system can be confusing when there are changes after the online reservation is made for something such as a senior discount.

The next person said they don't refund to credit cards, but instead would "give me a credit to my golf course account". Never happened. The next person said they don't give credits to golf course accounts and they'd refund to my credit card. Nope. I finally happened upon a person (by sheer luck) who said they'd take care of it and actually did; a refund to my credit card.

Recently, I called for a next-day tee time . 4 people. 10:50AM. Next day. She said, "perfect". After I repeated my name for her a couple of times she said, "perfect" again and promptly called me by a different name. I corrected her and she said, "perfect". She claimed to make the reservation for 10:50AM the next day as requested saying, "perfect". I asked her to repeat the reservation time. She said 11:50AM. Not perfect. She said she corrected the reservation to the correct time, 10:50AM. I asked her to repeat all of the details and she did. I said, "perfect". I hung up, retaining some doubt about her competence. I waited about 5 minutes, logged into my golf course account, and the tee time showed11:50AM, not the 10:50 AM time she had so perfectly claimed to have scheduled.. Not perfect. I called back, hoping to get a different person, which thankfully I did. She said she would correct the reservation but the 10:50AM time was unavailable. I had to take a different time. The golf course is fun. The employees who administer the golf course: not even close.

Wow - this place is a trip and a half! It is an expensive trip and a half, but that's kind of golf…read morein a nutshell anyway, so let's have fun doing it! A couple buddies and I drove 2 hours up to Hillsboro to make a day of the area and started with Topgolf. Never been to one before and weren't sure what to expect. The guy that greeted us was all that helpful with we needed to do. I had to give my name, number, and email, which was fine. I chose an hour and the guy told me that we had the hour and could extend for up to 30 minutes as there was another party that was going to use our bay after that. Armed with only the bay number to go and find, we left the counter without knowing what we needed to go. Once we got to our bay, there is a tablet device that wanted me to pick from one of the 5 or 6 available games. As I had no clue what any of them were, I didn't know what to pick. Thankfully, there is an employee that is outside in the bays to help with things and he got us on track. Weirdly enough, if I wanted my friends to have their own names (to see who won each game), they would have to spend $6 for memberships of their own. That's not cool. The kid that came over was kind enough to set it up so that we could have 3 different names for the games and he picked the first game for us. He also explained how the ball was dispensed, that there is a QR code on the table if we wanted to order food, and to have fun. The balls have trackers in them, so after you hit it, the TV screen in every bay will show a digital view of how the ball flew through the air, where it landed, and how many points were earned with each shot. So you hit the ball, you watch it land, and then everyone turns to the TV to see how many points were registered. Pretty simple. Everyone got 5 shots per round and there were 3 rounds the first game we played. After we got done with the first game, we chose a 2nd one that played a little differently. Much more important to hit the circular netted targets on the large field to score points. I wanted to order food, but it was a chore. First, the QR code made me download the Topgolf app. Not the end of the world, I guess. I found the food and added to my cart. I couldn't figure out how to "sign in" to the bay so that I could actually order the food (you can't order it until you are in the bay - which we already were). I tried several times before I found a login area and it auto-logged me into my bay. If it were that easy and I approved the app to see my location, why didn't it auto-login me in to my bay? Now that I know, I know - but we waited 12 minutes while I figured it out (and had to play a round in the middle of it) before we could get our food ordered. The food was decent. I got regular fiesta nachos and a side of fries. For the price, they are OK, but there wasn't much on the nachos and the fries needed ketchup (or ranch, or some kind of dipping sauce, and they came with none). We finished up our 2nd game right about the time that our gametime expired. The game froze up with 15 minutes left to see if we wanted to extend our game time and I couldn't figure out why the ball wouldn't release for my turn until someone pointed to the tablet. All told, for the fiesta nachos, fries, and an hour of golfing, it was about $70 (plus the tip). Not egregious, but you can get a lot more out of $70 than an hour and snack bites for that amount. We also played just before noon, so we got the lowest per/hour rate. It would have been more if we had shown up later. Still - I would definitely come back. There was plenty of room for more people, although we'd have to play longer to get through the games with more players. Food ordering would be more simple. We didn't try any drinks, but we were brought ice water when we got to our bay. Overall, it is a fun place and not a bad way to spend a little bit of time - if you are good with the pricing.
