MacDonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa

MacDonald Portal offers two contrasting championship courses set in rolling Cheshire countryside just outside Chester: the Championship Course, a modern parkland layout with generous fairways, large greens and enough water hazards to stay interesting without being overly punishing, and the shorter, more forgiving Premier Course, ideal for a relaxed round or second day of play. Accommodation is on-site in a modern hotel with comfortable rooms, a bar, restaurant and spa facilities, with a casual, golfer-friendly atmosphere rather than a formal one. The spa, gym and pool are a bonus for non-golfers or downtime after a round, and the location makes it easy to combine golf with a visit to Chester, Liverpool or the North Wales coast.
