Decent Track

Played here a few times over the years but a bit disappointed with the greens and tee pegs today, still a good long track but not up to its usual standards

Coming along

A challenging course, some long holes especially against the wind. Interesting back to back par fives at holes 3 and 4, a long par 3 at 5, 8 and 9 have interesting greens, as does 12. Signature hole is probably par 3 14th, over water, but you won’t forget the long, long par 4 17th. Good fun.

Great

Played here a few days ago on championship course, Premier not open yet after lockdown. Course in fab condition considering very dry spell. Greens well cared for and in great condition. Only slight negative some tees a bit bumpy and more sand in greens but, as new rules with no rakes etc. Have played many times over the last few years and back next week for some more. Views are amazing on a clear day and great variety of holes. Can’t go wrong plus play much speedier with two balls only.
Well done Portal.

Overrated & expensive

The course could be great but as with most courses the rough is kept to long and to many people loose balls and spend time looking for lost balls when there is no need unless it's is a pro tournament. The club house bar is very tasty and tired and the food and drink is very poor and massively expensive so most people leave after the round and go to a local pub for a drink instead of staying at the club. The restaurant and spa are very good but as this is a golf review these have little bearing on the marks
