The Portland Golf Club is a golf club located in the unincorporated Raleigh Hills area, between Portland and Beaverton, Oregon, USA. This club was formally established in the winter of 1914 when a group of nine businessmen assembled to form a new club after leaving their respective clubs.
The present site was chosen due to its relation to the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway's interurban railroad line with frequent passenger service to the site because automobiles and roads were few. The PGA Championship was held at the club in 1946, which Ben Hogan won. The club also hosted the 7th Ryder Cup Matches on November 1–2, 1947 with the United States defeating the Great Britain by a score of 11 to 1.
