GREAT


















Good Challenge
Enjoyed this course on the 2nd day of a two-day break. Fairways, bunkers and greens all in good condition. Plenty of variety and a good challenge.








Lovely place
Interesting course with nice views, pace was slow due to being behind 3 sets of lady 4 balls in buggies who were incredibly slow








Potential To Be Better
This is part of the Portal "resort". The clubhouse etc is all a bit tired not like the hotel down the round where the "Championship" course is. With some TLC this could be a great stand alone club and sister course. The course is no different. Just some attention to detail, tidying up of the tees and surroundings would make it a decent parkland course. A couple of lovely holes and great value for money. Pro shop is not the best.(Round played: Jun 2019 - Score: 83 Handicap: 12.9)










Good value. Fair challenge
Played on Saturday afternoon, in very good weather,which always helps.Received a good greeting from the pro. He told us to go when we wanted. We let a member teeofftimes before us. That meant we were never pressured. The first hole eased us in. But after that it becomes a test longish holes with slopes and gradient changes but it makes for a good test. Tees, fairways and greens all well presented. A couple of pitch marks needed repairs, but nothing to dramatic. One minor problem, and to be fair a recurring theme that is not much sand in some bunkers. But it won?t stop us from coming back.









Tough
Played last year in very dry conditions and now when its had 3 weeks of soaking. No run, thick, lush rough where its hard to find your ball. Almost impossible to score as a high handicapper if you're not on the fairway.(Round played: Jun 2019 - Score: 101 Handicap: 21.3)









(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 100 Handicap: 13.2)









Good course
Course was in good condition throughout. Some testing holes especially on the back nine, good challenge.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 83 Handicap: 8.9)









great golf resort
Excellent golf resort with two great courses. The premier course is tighter than the championship course and is more undulating.Greens on both courses were very good and pretty rapid.
Very picturesque courses with great views of surrounding countryside.
(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 95 Handicap: )









Over water a few times









Worth a visit
When booked as hotel and golf package it good value
