PGC was established 110 years ago in the winter of 1914, when a group of nine businessmen assembled to form a new club after leaving their respective clubs.[3] 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.[4] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as the Portland Golf Club Clubhouse and Golf Course, in 2023.[2]
