Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa - Championship Course
Played On 05/12/2021Outstanding conditions!
Credit to all the hardworking green keepers at this magnificent course. Acknowledged a couple today, during my round, who were polite, courteous and aware of our presence whilst carrying out their course improving tasks.
Definitely a recommended place to play for any golfer who thinks they can 'play.
Impeccable conditions and true testing greens made for a memorable round today for my 3 chums and I.
Looking forward to the next visit.
Feel free to entice me back, Portal Championship, with any too good to pass by offers.
Cheers
Ellesmere Port Golf Club - Hooton Course
Played On 04/25/2021Poor condition
Not in the best condition. Dry mud and very patchy grass. Tee box conditions just not acceptable. Feral rats destroying greens. That being said, they did play consistent. I've played here for years and love the testing layout but I'm sad to say that today was my last. Good luck for the future.
Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa - Premier Course
Played On 04/22/2021Nice condition course!
Well presented and challenging course. Tee boxes in good condition. Fairways in good condition and greens in great condition. Bunkers need a good rake but play it as it lies!
Nice friendly staff. Young lad in the pro shop very helpful. Nice waitress service too.
I would both definitely play this course again and fully recommend it also.
Frodsham Golf Club
Played On 04/08/2021Improving conditions
Great layout. Challenging holes. At the moment there's reconstruction work being carried out. Long term benefits affecting the short term play. Some ropey conditions without GUR markings. Bunkers last saw a rake the same time Kojak saw a comb! Greens hit and miss but still an enjoyable round. Will definitely play there again once all the reconstruction has been completed.
Macdonald Hill Valley Spa, Hotel & Golf - Emerald Course
Played On 03/30/2021Poor condition
Friendly staff and welcome. Course in average condition. Expected better. Stuck up members jumping holes causing us delay. No compressor to clean up muddy and grassy shoes and trollies. Not impressed.

Played On 06/17/2018Stunning course in fantastic condition
A really stunning course with excellent greens. A real test of links golf. Immaculately kept. Recommended.
Prestatyn Golf Club
Played On 06/08/2018Stunning course in fantastic condition
Playing at its finest, this course presents a real test of golf. Greens are a real pleasure to putt on. Tee boxes and fairways are cut immaculately.
Only issue experienced was a 4 ball shotgun start competition that tried to block our way on the 11th. They had just arrived on the tee as we left the 10th green and told us to jog on to the 13th tee. I had to stand my ground and politely inform these rude people that that was never going to happen. I was quizzed on my status as a player to which I replied I wasn't happy being questioned in this way during a round and they backed down and we proceeded to play out the hole and move on. Uncalled for as it took longer to fight my corner than it did to play the hole! Found out it was a police day out completion! Didn't spoil our round though.
Would definitely recommend this course.
5 stars.
Brackenwood Municipal Golf Course
Played On 05/14/2018A nice friendly course in ok condition for mid May
A good course with average condition greens. Layout is good. Picturesque too. Greens always soft and fluffy where putting requires a good whack. Chip it close and you're ok!
Ellesmere Port Golf Club - Hooton Course
Played On 05/01/2018Great challenge
Testing tee shot on the first and every other shot also thereafter. A great challenge to shoot low.
Not too much mud for May, all things considered. Greens playing nicely despite top dressing.
Definitely recommend playing here.
Runcorn Golf Club
Played On 04/19/2018A nice friendly course in ok condition for mid April
Played here for the first time and was met by a nice friendly chap running the pro shop. He advised me that the course was just getting cut in and a society had just gone out. I wasn't in a rush and the sun was shining so all good.
The tee boxes were in ok condition. The fairways that hadn't yet been cut in were creating a lost ball scenario despite sending one straight down the middle. 5 minutes looking allowed the society players to progress further (we hoped).
The greens were enjoyable and one could see that in their prime, they'd play fast and tricky.
After a few holes, we caught the society up. No signs of getting called through (we were a 2 ball). 5 hours later we finished our round burnt and battered. This was not the fault of Runcorn GC.
Maybe a sign coming off 6 to indicate where the 7th tee was as we had to be pointed in the right direction by friendly locals.
We didn't have time to pop in the clubhouse afterwards due to the time taken to get around so I can't comment on the beer or staff within.
All in all, it was a good day out and we were grateful to the sunny conditions as 5 hours for a 2 ball in the wind or rain would have taken it's toll.
If I was to play here again then I'd be sure to do it in May as the course would be playing much better by this time.
I'd recommend to others as the £13 it cost was money well spent. I'm not sure I'd pay much more than that though unless it was in absolute pristine condition and there wasn't 22 people in front of me not allowing quicker players through.
Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa - Premier Course
Played On 08/28/2017A must play!
Brilliant course playing in fantastic condition.
Greens playing fast ant true (better than the championship course greens at the moment).
Good place of play.
Plenty of practice facilities.
Good value for money at the right time.
Leasowe Golf Club
Played On 09/09/2016A really good challenge
Course setup was brilliant. Good tough pin positions. Greens playing fast and true. Favourable weather conditions helped as high winds were forecast but didn't arrive before we finished!
All in all, a good day out at a good price when booked through teeofftimes.
Will play again.
Recommended.
