Interesting test

Greens are a bit uneven, and the club house could do with a refurb, but generally a nice course to play.

Challenging and enjoyable!

Premier course was boggy in parts and very challenging, some beautiful views on many holes! Lots of hills involved.

I found the course a bit boring in places, Long wide fairways with not many fairway bunkers. Hardly any severe dog legs and the par 5's were a matter of Drive, Belt and Chip, no need to pick your way around. The greens were in very good condition but on the slow side. There was a lot of grass cuttings on the fairways, which is one of my husbands pet hates.

Good Value

My wife and I took the advantage of a short break at the Portal Hotel and played the Premier Course. For other visitors be advised that two courses that Portal have (Premier and Championship) are not in the same place and are about a two minute drive from each other. The course in places a bit up and down but tree lined with few fairway bunkers. One thing I did not like was the amount of grass cuttings left on the fairways. The hotel staff and golf staff are excellent and very friendly and even though we did not get to play the Championship course, due to an injury, we still had an enjoyable time.
