A country club lot in Gresham is not a regular commercial lot. Member loyalty, guest first-impressions, and tournament-day throughput all rely on striping that holds up under valet wear, cart-path crossings, and Multnomah County's wet-winter freeze-thaw cycle. This guide walks through what Gresham country club parking lot striping actually requires -- stall geometry, ADA routing, materials, scheduling, and a 2026 cost range you can use to vet quotes from any Gresham-area striper.
Key Takeaways
- Member-stall and guest-stall layouts use different widths and proximity rules
- Valet drop-off geometry needs separate paint zones, not just a curb
- ADA-compliant cart-path-to-clubhouse routing is the most-cited deficiency on Gresham audits
- Thermoplastic outlasts traffic paint roughly 4 to 6 times in east-Multnomah's wet-winter climate
- Restriping windows in Gresham are tight -- mid-May through mid-October for thermoplastic
- 2026 Gresham country club striping projects typically land between $0.18 and $0.55 per linear foot for paint and higher for thermoplastic
Why Gresham Country Club Properties Need Specialized Striping
Country clubs near the Powell Boulevard, East Burnside, and downtown Gresham retail corridors share a few traits that change the striping spec. Member parking carries different expectations than guest parking. Tournament weekends produce 2x to 3x the normal load. Valet drop-off, bag drop, and pro-shop loading all need clear paint guidance because the staff is moving fast and the members expect it to look effortless.
Gresham's freeze-thaw cycle compounds the problem. East Multnomah County sees 25 to 35 nights below 32 degrees F each winter, slightly more than central Portland because of the Columbia Gorge influence, and that elevated freeze count ages striping faster. Lines fade, edges chip, and ADA paint that started compliant fails its next audit two winters later. A country-club-grade striping job has to plan for that from day one.

ADA and Regulatory Requirements for Country Club Lots
The 2010 ADA Standards and Oregon Structural Specialty Code together set the floor. A Gresham country club lot needs at least one accessible stall per 25 total stalls, with one of every six accessible stalls van-accessible (96 inch access aisle versus 60 inch standard). Accessible stalls must connect to the clubhouse entry by an accessible route that does not cross a drive lane without a marked crosswalk.
The piece that trips up most country clubs is the cart-path-to-clubhouse route. Members move from cart staging to the bag drop to the clubhouse on a path that, in older lots, was never striped as ADA-compliant. A 2026 audit will flag a missing painted route, a slope above 1:20 without handrail consideration, and any cross-slope above 1:48 in the painted access aisle.

Country-Club-Specific Stall and Striping Geometry
Member stalls in Gresham clubs typically run 9 feet by 18 feet -- the standard commercial dimension. Guest-stall geometry varies. Some clubs spec a wider 9.5 feet by 18 feet for guest spots near the clubhouse so first-time visitors do not feel cramped against a member's SUV. Tournament-overflow lots, which sit empty most of the year, are usually striped at 9 feet by 18 feet with single-line paint to keep refresh cost down.
Valet drop-off needs a dedicated paint scheme: a fire-lane-yellow curb stripe at the loading edge, a 12-foot to 14-foot wide painted drop zone, and arrow paint guiding cars back into the queue lane. Pro-shop loading and bag-drop curbs get short red or yellow no-park stripes plus painted "LOADING" text so the staff can shoo cars without arguing.

Materials: Thermoplastic vs Traffic Paint for Gresham Climate
Two material choices dominate Gresham country club work. Latex traffic paint is the cheaper option upfront. It applies fast, dries in 30 to 60 minutes, and costs roughly $0.18 to $0.32 per linear foot installed. The downside is service life. In east Multnomah's wet-winter climate, latex traffic paint loses visibility inside 12 to 18 months on high-traffic lanes.
Thermoplastic is the country club default for stall lines, ADA paint, and arrow markings. It runs $0.85 to $1.60+ per linear foot installed but carries a 4-to-7-year service life. For a club restriping every two or three years, the thermoplastic math wins on lifetime cost. The trade-off is application temperature -- thermoplastic needs pavement above 50 degrees F to bond properly, which closes the Gresham install window from mid-May through mid-October.
Scheduling Around Gresham Country Club Operations
Most Gresham clubs run a busy season from April through October and a tournament calendar that peaks in June, July, and August. That collides directly with the only viable thermoplastic install window. The schedule has to thread the needle.
Three practical scheduling rules for Gresham country clubs:
- Book the full restripe between November and February, then install during a dry stretch in May or early June
- Schedule guest-stall touch-ups for the Tuesday and Wednesday gap between weekend tournaments
- Plan ADA refresh work for the post-Labor-Day window when member traffic drops
Crews can typically stripe 8,000 to 15,000 linear feet of paint in a single 10-hour day with one rolling closure. Thermoplastic runs slower -- closer to 4,000 to 7,000 linear feet per day -- because the kettle and screed-box pace controls everything.
Cost Expectations for Gresham Country Club Striping
Costs vary by lot size, material choice, ADA scope, and whether the job includes a layout change versus a like-for-like restripe.
Industry Baseline Range
| Scope | Typical Size | Gresham Range | Per Stall (avg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Restripe, traffic paint | 150 to 400 stalls | $1,750 to $6,300 | $11 to $17 |
| Restripe, thermoplastic | 150 to 400 stalls | $7,300 to $23,500+ | $48 to $73 |
| ADA upgrade package (signs + paint + ramp) | per stall | $300 to $850+ | — |
| Full layout redesign + new stripe | 200 to 500 stalls | $13,800 to $41,000+ | $69 to $108 |
| Valet zone + bag-drop curb paint | dedicated zone | $1,200 to $3,800+ | — |
Current Market Reality
Thermoplastic resin pricing tracks petrochemical feedstock costs, and 2024-2025 disruptions have kept resin 18 to 30 percent above the 2019 baseline. Glass-bead reflectivity packages add another premium. Gresham's Columbia Gorge wind exposure can shorten the workable install window because morning dew lingers on shaded pavement, and that productivity drag shows up in the labor line. Final Gresham country club quotes regularly land at the upper end of the ranges above, especially when ADA scope is included.

What to Verify Before Signing a Gresham Country Club Striping Quote
A Gresham country club striping quote that will hold up under audit and through the next winter should name each of the following:
- Material spec (latex traffic paint MPI or thermoplastic AASHTO M249)
- Mil thickness for paint or applied thickness for thermoplastic
- Glass-bead spec for reflectivity (Type I, II, or III)
- ADA stall count, van-accessible count, and access-aisle widths
- Cart-path-to-clubhouse route paint included or excluded
- Valet zone paint and curb paint itemized separately
- Layout change versus like-for-like restripe noted in writing
- CCB license number and certificate of insurance on file
Tie any of those items to the contractor's written scope before accepting the bid. The commercial striping services page covers Cojo's standard country club scope and what we include by default.
