This golf break at Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa delivers exactly what a proper stay-and-play package should - quality golf, simple logistics, and everything on site.
The package combines rounds on Portal’s Championship Course and Premier Course, giving groups variety across the stay. The Championship Course provides the headline test, while the Premier Course adds a more flowing, enjoyable round that suits mixed-ability groups and society formats.
Your overnight stay includes dinner, bed and breakfast, allowing the group to settle in after golf without worrying about transfers or schedules. The hotel’s bar and dining areas offer a relaxed setting to unwind, while the spa and leisure facilities provide an easy recovery option after a day on the course.
With three courses on site and everything under one roof, Portal works particularly well for society weekends, competitive group trips, and relaxed overnight breaks where pace, convenience, and good golf matter more than unnecessary extras.
