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)

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.

Course was in excellent condition and surprisingly dry considering time of year. Some bunkers not in play but greens in good condition (again considering time of year).
Great value if your staying at hotel.

Lovely course. Conditions were fair, however quite a walk between some holes, so glad we took the buggy as it would have been a long round without it!

I played this Cardrona on the sixth of June 2016.
The course was basically unplayable. There was no sand in the bunkers, I don't mean not much sand I mean none at all. the greens had little or no grass on them and were rock hard, you had to pitch ten yards in front of them to have any chance of staying on the green.
The staff in general were next to useless, we were there for two days and all we heard was guests and players complaining.
