Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Country Club

The course is amazing. It's a challenging course with unforgiving rough. Overall it's a great day out the staff were very friendly and helpful.

This is a magnificent challenge and well worth a visit. Superb condition and some of the holes are simply stunning along with the views. Well worth the money and my first experience was memorable and I hope your is too!

Thoroughly enjoyed this challenging championship golf course. It's absolutely awesome! Fantastic condition in every way. The best value for money by a mile and well worth the travel. You need to keep it straight as the heavy rough is an instant lost ball. I'll 100% be back !

Once again good course in super condition. Great value for money although it is a long walk but well worth it in the end

Played the course on a warm sunny day with a light breeze.

The fairways and greens were in excellent condition, pity the same couldn't be said for my game, but that's down to me!

The lad in the pro shop was friendly and welcoming and advised on the practice area. He also explained that due to the deal I bought on Golf Now (£17.99) for 18 holes, I had been paired with another player who'd also taken advantage of the deal. Although we were given the option to play individually or as a pair, our choice. We chose to pair.

The lad I played alongside was really good company for a round, and it was a bonus too, that he was a local lad who was familiar with the course, and a very good golfer too.

My overall experience was great. I got to play at a venue and course that felt premium, and for the remarkable price of £17.99, unbelievable value!

The course was in fantastic condition and the hillside scenery all tgeway round was picturesque, as was the aesthetics of the course.

I will most definitely be back.

The best value for money on Hot Deals!

Course was set up pretty well considering all the hot weather, only issue was the over sandy greens but that is just luck with the time of year.

Great course to practice a variety of shots and tragectories.

This course is in a fantastic setting, really nice layout, and there’s quite a hike between some of the holes it could do with a few more visible signs as where to go, I was a bit disappointed in the greens as they’d been Hollow tined, not what I’d expect in July so lining up putts was pointless, I like to collect ball markers from each course I play and they could do with getting some better ones as these look like a child made them, would definitely recommend a visit

Played using GolfNow Hot Deal for whatever reason we had pretty much the course to ourselves.

I have played course before but not for some time.

The course is a championship course long and if walking the distance between some of the holes. If you hire buggy will not affect you,

The big thing about the visit was the condition of the course. The fairways were exceptional the green although recently sanded were in excellent shape.

All players were full of praise and surprised by lack of Golfers.

Got a great Hot Deal for £14 and turned up to find out the Tartan Tour were teeing off tomorrow, so I ended up playing tournament conditions in the middle of a pro practice round! Course was in fantastic condition, as would be expected. Very flat as played exclusively on the valley floor, but a stunning mountain backdrop. Complements Peebles GC up the road very well, with this definitely being the more punishing round. Cardrona is a great test of golf, with a great mix of interesting holes that severely punish bad shots, but handsomely rewards good golf. This really separates wheat from chaff, but well worth a visit. This is not an easy hotel course as you might expect, this is a proper golf course.

Honestly for the price this course is it’s very well kept you wouldn’t expect a course in such good condition at the £30-£40 range but it is, tee boxes are immaculate and the fairways and greens are really good, staff are lovely aswell and there’s plenty of buggy’s to go round if you can’t be bothered walking (I’d recommend one it’s a very long course)

Course was in great nick.

Guy in the pro shop was excellent helped me out of a tight spot. Good guy cheers mate

I’ve played the course a number of times and it’s getting close to being the course it should be!

I really enjoy the layout (although it could do with a variety in the length of par 4s, through in a smaller one here and there). Could do with a water just now but most courses will be the same with the excellent weather recently. The rough is a lot fairer than previous rounds. The bunkers need some work. All really well placed but way too much sand in them. All excellent tee boxes, greens are in better condition than previous rounds. They do have a practice area but would benefit of having a few nets set up as well.

Let’s start at the beginning

Hotel. Has a serious wool moth infestation in the rooms, had three rooms, all infested. Don’t use this hotel, you will take the moths home causing thousands in damage to your home.

Golf. Nobody rakes bunkers, my group had to make a local rule for the day to place the ball out of the footprints. We learned this from the past two years playing here. Too much walking between tees, some several hundred yards. Expect a 5 hour round £40 a buggy, it’s American golf, everyone getting drunk on the course. I would pass, I’m not coming back to play it again.

Not a bad course but was expecting better. The greens aren’t great - slow for the time of year (10th May) and not very well kept.

Course generally is pretty nicely designed. Miss the fairway though and your ball is gone!

Was expecting better but all in all a decent day out.

Course layout and scenery was top class just a shame the greens were very slow and affected the overall round .

Course is in excellent condition. £20 a round was excellent value. Only down side was the £40 for a buggy which is abit steep but didn’t mind paying since the round was so cheap.

Coarse was in great condition. Green firm but receptive.

Only down side we tee’d off at 7.50 am and the pro shop was open so we couldn’t hire buggies. This is a long coarse about 6500 yards. It did spoil the back nine due to tiredness.

But will definitely come back as a lovely coarse with great views

During the week, Cardrona make countryside golf accessible. Greens are in great condition now, and the rough has been cut back to make for a friendlier game. Access to changing rooms after with excellent shower facilities. Staff were very welcoming. You can play at any pace, very friendly players on the course. GolfNow even had a deal for a round and buggy if you wanted it for £40. Well done Cardrona and GolfNow.
