Stunning views and a beautiful and well laid out course. Walk between greens to tees saves on confrontation from wayward shots and the scenery is breathtaking, if you enjoy that sort of thing. We played the course in an open comp as a texas scramble, which was a good way to enjoy the course for the shorter hitters. The greens were slower than some we had played in the area but were still true.

Reviewed Apr 21 2014

This is a lovely course in gorgeous surroundings. The greens were smooth and quick, and the fairways are wide, which is good because the course is long: 6555 yards from the yellows.

The only slight downer is the number of stones in the bunker, but I guess the way to avoid them is to avoid the bunkers. Also, a few people mentioned the length of walk between some of the greens and tees. According to my GPS it was a 6.5 mile walk round the course, but I say who cares when you have scenery like this.

Loved this course!!!

Looking at the course from the Hotel gives no indication as to the walk/length........ Green to T sometimes a bit of a trek,but an enjoyable round can be had with plenty of challenges.Well worth the trip for golf and fantastic views.

very good course but a challenging layout, walks from greens to tees can be far! as the other reviews state, keep it on the short stuff or you will struggle - the rough is very unforgiving - play to your handicap here and you will do well, the price on teeofftimes was amazing (£17) as was the scenery

Excellent Value

Having read some of the reviews, we were a little trepidatious of what we'd find. We needn't have worried. The course and green were in excellent condition! We'll be back!

Another enjoyable day at Cardrona

Back at Cardrona for another round with my son. Looked after well by Mark this time who was very welcoming. The course itself continues to improve with new sand in all the bunkers ! The greens which were always an issue in the past are almost back to how they should be and with a little more time will compliment the rest of this beautiful course set up. We will be back !!

Reviewed Aug 27 2022

Played the course with my son on sat 27/8/22. The course condition was by far the best we have encountered having played it a number of times over recent years. The putting greens which were very poor in the past have improved enormously and have obviously benefited from a lot of hard work by the greens staff. We were looked after very well by Chris and would recommend a visit to this beautiful part of Scotland to enjoy a round or two. I have no doubt the next time we play and write a review, my rating will be a 10 !

Excellent test

This is a must play course, unfortunately at the present time the greens are not in very good condition, very burnt. However they do run true if a trifle slick
