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!Reviewer Rating

A very long course. Probably better in the summer as fairways had long grass and greens were very patchy with moss on most of them.

The Cardrona provides is a stern test of of golfing ability which high handicappers may find too tough. The fairways are quite generous but straying off the short stuff will often leave you wading through waist high rough looking for your ball. On the plus side the course is set in a beautiful valley and watching your drive soaring down the middle against the backdrop of the tree-covered hills is something special. There are some lengthy walks between holes and I would recommend a buggy if combining play at this course with another on the same day as we did - playing the first 8 holes took us 2 and a half hours and my playing partners were single figure handicappers!

Getting There
The greens on the course suffered badly following an irrigation failure last year but they are getting there albeit some slower than others. Some remain a "hit and hope" but others are getting smoother. There is also evidence of investment in the bunker management with fresh white sand waiting to be raked into place. The rest of the course is in good condition and by the end of May i would predict that the course will be back to its former self.Reviewer Rating

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!Reviewer Rating

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 !!Reviewer Rating

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 !
