The Portland Golf Club is a private golf club in the northwest United States, in suburban Portland, Oregon. It is located in the unincorporated Raleigh Hills area of eastern Washington County, southwest of downtown Portland and east of Beaverton. PGC was established 103 years ago 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, then a match play competition, was held at the club in 1946. Ben Hogan, age 34, overcame an early deficit in the final match to become champion; it was the first of his nine major titles. He had won the Portland Open the previous year with a score of 261 (–27). The following year, PGC hosted the Ryder Cup matches of 1947, the first renewal in a decade, due to World War II. The U.S. team defeated Great Britain 11 to 1 in wet conditions in early November.
