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.

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.

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

Reviewed May 30 2017

Overall the setting is very good. The course is challenging and you really do need a guide book to help you plot the holes. There are 3 par 3's all are btw 190-200 yds be warned. There is also quite a walk beteeen some holes which makes the total length almost 7miles. The fairways were good and well trimmed. The bunkers are hard and bare in some and then plentiful in others luck of the draw and there are plenty of bunkers out there. The main issues were the greens they were very wooly in the majority of places and had been hollowtimed but weren't sanded over which left the dreaded holes all over the greens and of course this meant they didn't run True which really spoiled the overall experience. It could be something really good but on our visit it wasn't good at all.

Played the open at the weekend and really enjoyed the challenge. Loads of optical illusions from the tee box force a few mistakes. It's a modern course is top nick and very enjoyable. I will be playing here again.

Stunning golf course is excellent condition.

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.
