Portal Championship

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..

Perfect condition

It's the first time I've played the course when it's not been lush and green...
The course is probably at its peak at the moment, fast true greens and fairways but not scorched...

Unimpressed with some members

Staff in club shop great, chat with Lloyd Saltman put me in a great positive relaxing mood before play...
Club members will use buggies in between walking players and race behind them, despite the fact nowhere to go as time spacing on course is OK...
They then strike a shot as soon as you step forward so balls land around you...
Unimpressed and voiced my displeasure with lack of class and etiquette on a few occasions...
Course good condition, weather good, good greens, lush rough...
Would play again but would be very wary of ignorant members, a pity....

Love the wind....

Last played off Winter Tees and Winter greens, course now in good condition...
Testing par 4s and 3s in the wind...
The sound of planes taking off and landing from nearby runway can be very off-putting if your concentration isn't 100%...
Nice course, fantastic value for £10, not sure if it's a £25 or even more course when compared with other courses for the same cost...
I'll maybe wear earplugs next time...

Liberton Golf Club in May

Second time I've played the course, previous round almost a year ago...
Pro shop polite friendly and efficient...
Course in really good condition, amazing what a little sunshine does...
Greens fast and true...
Undulating course, good mix of holes, using the landscape and features...
Tees can be confusing to a first time visitors, signage near the greens would be helpful...
I've not been into clubhouse on either visit...

Not worth £26

Simply nor worth the green fee at the moment...
Course in pretty poor condition, various works going on, atrocious greens, some winter tees and greens...
All fur coat and no underwear, gorgeous off the course, but our group came to play golf, not pose..

Worth a £10 fee, if that..

Good practice or learners course

Short par 4s and only 1 par 5, some decent length par 3s, interesting holes...
Ideal for getting the swing going at start of season, enough hazards and rough to make it interesting and not too hard for inexperienced golfers...
Mats on Par 3s and short par 4s, greens in good condition...
