Portal premier course
Well I can honestly say I can't wait to try and play this course in the summer. Course was in good condition considering the time of the year. Hole 4 was cut very short, which we didn't realise so had to be played as a par 3 as opposed to a par 4. Other than that the course played well. Some interesting/challenging pin positions made for good fun when it came to nearest the pin.Reviewer Rating

I genuinely believe it's the most underrated course in the country. Was in superb condition, every hole presents a genuine challenge and opportunity to score if you hit it in the right spots. I come here around 4 or 5 times a year, and have done for the past 6 years and get the same excitement to play it each time.

The course is brilliant. For a high handicapper like me the fairways are very forgiving seeing as I have a tendency to slice of the tee. There are some long holes with challenging bunkers and I got to play in most of them which was fun and challenging too. I?d recommend this place and will be back, we played the championship course and it's long but very good. Great facilities for warm up putting and chipping, could do with somewhere to warm up the driverReviewer Rating

Tough course, don't let the benign first two holes fool you. Course was very heavy underfoot but not surprising after the rain we've had.

Played ‘the Premier’ on Sat 18th Nov, paid £30.There wasn’t much ‘Premier’ about it.
Don’t waste your money, course was an absolute shambles, it should of been shut. Was like playing in a mud bath.
Poorly stocked pro shop, and lack of course info pre Tee off.
Probably better in the summer but I won’t be back. Shame.

OK but wouldn't return
Stayed for 3 nights with 3 rounds of golf on championship and premier courses, hotel was decent and food good. Both course the tee boxes are shocking, uneven and like teeing up on poor fairways, the Premier course has the better layout with some nice holes but the greens were poor, the championship course was OK and greens abit better but even before the summer the greens and course was baked hard. Playing into greens was abit of a lottery with some strange bounces. All in all it was OK but I wouldn't return.Reviewer Rating
