In 1989, following the development of the apartments on the perimeter, the course was redesigned into a 9-hole, par 3 course and became the Rivergreens Golf Club. In 1996, the course became dedicated to children due to Duncan Campbell's dream. While playing golf in Scotland, Duncan, a successful Portland business owner with a passion for helping children, noticed a number of children's golf courses. He dreamed of one day making the concept a reality in Portland. After a two-year search, Duncan became aware of the potential availability of the Rivergreens Golf Club and made an offer. The Thomas' had a strong sentimental desire for the property to remain a golf course and they accepted Duncan's offer. Operation of The Children's Course began on June 30, 1996.see more
