Very slow
Lots of slow 4 balls in front - gave up after 4 and a half hours and 16 holes
Not Sure
Played here in strong easterly wind. Course dry as a bone so ball going miles with the wind. Fairways very good, rough not bad at all but it has wide fairways. Greens-well it looks as though they have had fusarium but it has been cleared leaving some bare patches, some rain should really clear these up.
We walked-it is a long course with plenty of walking between holes and some elevation differences. Plenty of buggies available if you wanted.
Played here a few times and this was the best I have seen it. Still prefer the Premier course as this is a bit bland.
Excellent course
Good conditions, very relaxing game. But rough test of golf.
Not for the shorter hitter
Brutal in a cold wind, for November in very good condition. The shorter hitter in our group found the round a slog even with an electric trollley so a buggy highly recommended. Don't let the gentle first 2 holes fool you. A gps app would make a lot of sense for this course as would a more sensible price for 2 cups of coffee. I'm not sure I would rush back specifically but I would like to see the premier course next time. im not sure if this is the original hole order layout but I think it could be tinkered with and would improve the experience. enjoyable and would play again but hopefully not in a strong icy wind
portal championship
Picturesque course with incredible panoramic views to hills 30 miles away. Well designed with challenging holes, long 5's and short 3's. Top level greens a real challenge. Great facilities in a wonderful setting.
There are not many courses that can match this setting and layout. Worth a visit if you get the chance.
Golf day at portal
Great course with some fantastic views.
The parkland course is beautiful with lots of mature trees, plenty of room and also some tricky par 3 s. Quite hilly but manageable with a powered trolley. There were a few people on carts and this did cause us to keep letting single players in a buggy through. Perhaps they should space these out or pair them up. The cost of the bacon barm was horrific at £4.50 and not that good.
Overall a really good round.
