Championship Course

The Championship Course at the Macdonald Portal Hotel is relatively unknown to a wide audience but having opened in 1990 it is one of the best courses to be completed in England in the modern era. In fact, it was named ‘Golf Course Of The Year' in 1995 and is the star of Portal's golfing complex. Designer Donald Steel has created a challenge that is characterised by unique and distinctive holes with expansive water hazards and cascading waterfalls among the tests. The signature is typical of Steel's magnificent 7,037 yard layout; the long 3rd tips the scales at 607 yards, with a green guarded by a beautiful lake.
