The Portland Open is an annual disc golf tournament held most recently at the Glendoveer Golf Course in Portland, Oregon.
History
The Portland Open was founded in 2019 and held at Blue Lake Park.[1][2] In 2020, the Portland Open was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Portland Open returned in 2021, and due to ongoing pandemic precautions, was moved to Glendoveer Golf Course where spectator tickets sold out quickly.[3][4] In 2022, the Open consisted of two rounds at Blue Lake Park and the final two rounds at Glendoveer Golf Course. More than 2,000 spectators attended the event.[5] For the 2023 tournament, two 18-hole courses were constructed at the Glendoveer Golf complex, with two rounds played on the East course and two rounds played on the West. The 2023 edition was also notable for being the first ever Disc Golf Pro Tour Elite+ event. Per the tour's original press release, “Elite+ events will feature bigger purses, additional media focus, and elevated spectator experiences.” [6]
