Not as bad as people say, but a bit repetitive

Tends to be moist, not surprising given its location. Greens not very healthy, though playing surprisingly well- holding yet not too slow. , Bunkers currently atrocious- may be purely a covid phenomenon. Number 1 rough is more like no2, but the balk seems to sit up ok. deep rough is jungle, but there?s so much space before you reach it, you shouldn't really be there!

All alone

This is the fourth time I have played here, very challenging and long course.
Fairways in excellent condition, Greens were patchy, but playable.
Only seen another 3 golfers during my round. so obviously there are a lot of people missing out on this course.
Staff in shop very friendly and welcoming.
I will be back to play in very near future, this would be my membership course if I lived closer.
No rating for food / drink or practice facilities as these were not open.
Loved every visit to this course.

Lovely

Gorgeous setting, very good condition, greens were a bit slow / sandy. Payed sunday & Monday; perfect weather (unusual I'm told) but really enjoyed it.

a beautiful setting

A group of friends and I played Cardrona in the height of summer, so the conditions were quite challenging. The course was very brown, which made the ball travel for miles on the fairways but the greens also lightning quick, which made it tricky to putt. The course is in the beautiful setting of the Tweed Valley and the clubhouse is very well equipped as you would expect.

Top Challenge - Long Day

Played the course on a very busy Saturday and ended up with a 5.5 hour round due to how busy it was. Just as well the scenery is absolutely stunning and the course was in superb condition to balance out the waiting on every tee box. Keeping up with the game in front wasn't a problem at all yet we still had an example of a player from another party coming back to the tee on a par 3 due to a lost ball when two groups (ours) were waiting to tee off. No wonder the game gets bad press at times with that behaviour and big courses like this cramming in a four ball with questionable handicaps on every available tee time. Despite all of that the course is simply too good so it warrants a return visit.

Never met staff so friendly.

Lady at the front desk was ever so friendly, helpful and made for a great start to the day. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the golf course, some beautiful holes with stunning scenery. Beware of the 7th, it may just catch you out! Will be going back for sure.

Beautiful sceanary

Lovely course following river. Greens were recovering from winter and snow, so played slow and bumpy. As it was winter, we shared the course with three other groups - felt like it was our own.
