Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club

What Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club does

Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club is a private golf club founded in 1989 by Gay Davis, Marv French, and Barney Hyde, and opened in 1992 in North Plains, Oregon, approximately 25 miles west of Portland. The club operates two 18-hole championship courses designed by Bob Cupp: Witch Hollow, a private par-72 layout of 7,017 yards, and Ghost Creek, a public par-71 layout of 6,839 yards. Both courses are built into natural Portland wetlands terrain and have hosted major USGA championships, Korn Ferry Tour events, and the 2022 LIV Golf Portland Invitational.

The club generates revenue through four streams: annual private membership dues for Witch Hollow (priced via direct inquiry with the Membership Director, not publicly disclosed); public green fees at Ghost Creek booked through the ezlinksgolf online platform; event hosting for weddings, corporate outings, fundraisers, and tournaments (the Sunset Room accommodates up to 200 seated guests); and golf instruction delivered by PGA professionals, including Operation36 and PGA Jr. League programming. Distribution is hybrid — direct sales for membership and event bookings, self-serve online booking for public tee times.

Pumpkin Ridge operates with 47 employees and runs on a standard golf-club technology stack: ezlinksgolf for reservations, MembersFirst for member-site management, Vimeo for video, and Google Analytics for web analytics. There is no public-facing API, no AI/ML capability disclosed, and no parent company or external ownership structure beyond the founding partnership. The club is privately held and does not publish revenue, membership pricing, or membership counts.
