Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa - Championship Course

The course was very wet in places and the greens were very bumpy, been holes but not flattened on some of them and other not holed but inconsistent grass. Even a green keeper got his buggy stuck and was digging a new pond when trying ti get it out..

I played this course years ago and I doubt any improvements were done since then..

The course needed serious investment years before COVID..

Waterlogged, fairways in poor condition..

I came off the course with thick mudstains up to my knees...

The next time will be when it's 80f+ but I doubt the course will cope with that either..

Great setting and lovely walk and that was as good as it got!

Greens were a disgrace

Disgusting to be even open if maintenance like this is going on !

Course layout is excellent and greens were very good, Tee boxes are an absolute disgrace, a lot of them have no grass just the divot marks as if they haven't been moved for months, other tees are not flat ball above or below your feet, another hotel that's letting it's course's go to rack and ruin, very sad/poor.

At £25 it was ok value. Course ok. Bunkers hadn’t seen a rake for a long time. Fairways needed a cut.

Good layout, good test, some great holes

Buggy was dirty and not up to standard of everything else

This is a really well designed course some picturesque

Holes an intelligently planned out course. In terms of the condition props to the green keeper and the the team a well maintained course I can barely find a pitch mark on the green or divot in the fairway.

We have played both courses in the space of a week and would highly recommend both loved the full 18 on both but especially 1 par 3 on each - amazing

We didn't need one but a buggy might of been nice to have in parts

We didn't stay at the hotel so can't comment there but what we seen of it it looks nice

But 5* for the golf

Lovely course, lovely staff, great amenities but had to walk off after 13 holes (4 hours to play 13 holes with the sun low in the sky, wind blowing a gale and no good scorecards among us)

Mentioned when returning the buggy about it taking us 4 hours to play 13 holes and was told that was standard at the weekend. We even let the 2 ball behind us join us as we felt that bad about the waiting around

Course is a great challenge, long and well set out, unfortunately greens haven't been in best condition last few visits

Played. In early October, after a some heavy rain the week earlier, so as expected the fairways were a little soft but very playable ,greens were in good condition and thoroughly enjoyed the round would recommend
