Course was in good condition after recent heavy rain. Interesting layout and great new clubhouse and restaurant.

A very enjoyable round. Fairways are generous, but if you miss them by much say goodbye to your ball. Course was in nice condition and there were some very interesting holes. The course was deserted. Playing by myself on a Saturday morning, I finished my round in 2 1/2 hours, encountering just one group who called me straight through.

I had read reviews on line that suggested that the course lies in the shadows of it big brother. For me, the proximity of the Old Course and views across the fairways and famous landmarks only improved my enjoyment of Portland. The course was in great condition and for much of the course there was good variety between the holes. The front nine were visually much stronger in my opinion with 3-8 the strongest stretch on the course, but I enjoyed every hole. A very warm welcome and I would return.
