What the club says: Designed by the renowned golf architect Dave Thomas, creator of The Belfry, this par 73 course presents a challenge, and includes some of the Scottish Borders' most attractive scenery. Making the most of wood, park and river, Cardrona has something for every golfer. Although remarkably flat, given the rolling hillsides around you, there are plenty of wooded and sandy surprises to keep you on your spikes!

Brilliant golf course
Great course in the borders. Challenging for all levels of golfer, only complaint was pace of play!

















Cardrona
Green like lightening, keep out the rough, deep trouble hard to get out. Long course but excellent, playing it again tomorrow








Mr
Fantastic but very challenging hence a championship 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.(Round played: Apr 2019 - Score: 101 Handicap: 24.4)










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.








November outing
Excellent course which was empty. Some fantastic holes. Lady in shop was very pleasant polite and helpful. We will play this course again.







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.







Excellent golf course in beautiful surroundings









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.(Round played: Mar 2018 - Score: 102 Handicap: 19.1)









Nice course, great scenery
Small pro shop with reasonable stock, friendly welcome. Did not play this course at it's best unfortunately. Had frequent snow flurries during the round which made putting sometimes difficult, credit to them allowing us to play though. The course itself is well laid out with some interesting holes and looks in reasonable condition for time of year if a little wet in places.It is fairly flat but a good walk round, some distances from greens to tees. Greens looked in decent nick but I found were fairly flat so not too much to worry about other than pace. Hotel attached is nice enough and would recommend it for a Sunday driver for sure. Will hopefully return some time when weather is better as would like to play it again in more favorable conditions.(Round played: Mar 2018 - Score: 79 Handicap: 6.1)









Great course.
Very well laid out course with some forgiving fairways for the high handicap ageing golfer!

















Can be wide and forgiving from the tee in places and the course should hold up all year round.
Nice mixture of holes offering a great experience for high to low handicaps.








Great value if your staying at hotel.
(Round played: Feb 2017 - Score: 82 Handicap: 10)









Fairways are fairly wide so is an ideal stay and play course.
Green nice a firm and roll very well!!
Great bunker placement off the tee and around the greens.
Delight to play.
(Round played: Oct 2016 - Score: 79 Handicap: )
