Macdonald Portal Cheshire - Premier or Championship?

The championship one is the one based at the hotel, the premier is 3 minute drive up the road and is definately the one to play - had a 3 round golf break there last month and found the championship one a bit bland

This.

The Championship is one of the plainest champ courses i've ever played, 2 or 3 good holes and the rest are bang average.

The Premier is a really good thinking course, the front 9 is a big challenge. 1,2 & 3 are easy enough holes but then 4-9 really are tough.

The back 9 is a bit easier but the last 4 holes really are great with 2 brilliant par 3's!
Greens are always in good nick!
