MacDonald Portal

Set in beautiful countryside amidst rolling hills, the luxurious and elegant Macdonald Portal Hotel near Chester provides some of the finest luxury accommodation in the Cheshire area.

With a choice of three great courses, the largest indoor golf academy in Europe and a well-stocked pro shop, Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa has established itself as a world-class golfing venue, ideal for players of all standards.

Our courses are all set to some of the most impressive backdrops in the country and offer challenges for golfers of all abilities. The Championship Course meanders through rolling parkland, testing golfers with play around mature trees and beautiful water features to tournamant style USGA greens all with stunning views over the Cheshire countryside. The Premier Course features several key holes including the par three seventh, cut out of a sandstone quarry. In contrast, our nine hole Arderne Course is perfect for either a gentle warm up or a fun competition which will test every level of player.
