About Greenback Course - Heron Lakes

Greenback Course at Heron Lakes is the shorter and more accessible companion to the Great Blue Course at this north Portland public complex. Set along the Columbia Slough in a wetland-rich environment, Greenback offers a fun and manageable round for golfers of all skill levels who want to experience the unique Heron Lakes setting without the full demands of the Jones Jr.-designed Great Blue layout. Water comes into play on numerous holes, making accuracy off the tee more important than length. The natural Columbia Slough surroundings with herons, eagles, and waterfowl add wildlife interest throughout. Greenback is an excellent warm-up course for players preparing to tackle Great Blue, and a standalone enjoyable round for those seeking a scenic, affordable north Portland option.

It was designed to provide a more accessible complement to the signature Jones Jr. layout, ensuring the facility could serve a broad range of golfer abilities while sharing the remarkable Columbia Slough wetland environment. The two-course complex has become the north Portland public golf anchor.
