Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Country Club

We played Saturday for the first time.

All bunkers as GUR. Not great.

As first timers no real info from staff re course.

Heard from others regarding three holes had to be accessed over a bridge.

Long distance between some holes with not great directions on where next tee was.

At this time of year buggy hire at £35. Was more than the cost of the round I thought was too costly.

The course itself was mostly in good condition.

We enjoyed the round but as I say this could have been so much more.

First of all. Staff in pro shop were very helpful and welcoming. Giving great service.

Fairways immaculate and greens are good.

Greens are fast which I like... not bumpy as other reviews say.

Overall a great challenge for anyone’s game par 3’s are difficult aswell.

Excellent course well worth the money!

Overall a good experience. Greens need attention but fairways in excellent condition. Good test.

Fairways were absolutely immaculate, course was in great condition however the greens were very poor!

It looks like they have been doing some work to the greens and were therefore long and very bobbly.

However for £15 we were able to put that to the back of our minds as the rest of the course was fantastic.

Buggy definitely needed as it is a resort course, I’m a fit 24 year old and was struggling the last two holes

Course was empty... In great condition considering the time of year. Greens has been scarified so a little bumpy, but good overall

The course was flooded at several holes and overall the course was unplayable but still charged £18

Played the course a few times and loved it.. how massively disappointed that on arrival I could see course was flooded and only a few holes where playable. Could get across bridge to play 5th, 6th and 7th. Understanding as recent weather causing river to burst banks in some areas.. would be very helpful if updates on course conditions where live before booking. Waste of the one person fee. Understand that pandemic is causing issue but for some to have a look in morning and update would take to much time or hassle. Definitely booking to lay again but not just now.

We had a great day at Cadrona. The course was a bit boggy in some areas but only to be expected in the middle of October. Course layout is brilliant. Would recommend a buggy as course is really long.

They should be embarrassed, letting such a great course go to ruin. Greens terrible and no sand in bunkers.

Played the course several times over a few years and it is gradually getting into worse condition.

The greens were very very poor and bunkers worse

I’m aware current Climate makes it hard but even then still Well below The expected. Level

Would have been good but not well maintained long rough no sand in bickers enjoyed it but very long walk between some of the holes but value for money that we payed

Played today and very wet under foot Greens are in very poor condition with weed growth, bare patches and pitting - ball bounces along the green rather than roles, see better greens at the fairground and public putting greens at the sea side.

Bunkers are beyond repair over growing with weeds and grass. Fairways recently cut as there were lots of grass cutting all over. Even with Covid and lock down this course is in extremely poor condition.

Waited for coffee prior to tee off however it never arrived.

Long drive from Glasgow for golf day out and very disappointed

The MacDonald resort web page parts a very different story to the reality of the day. Deffo won't be back

Greens poor. Fairway grass too long and bunkers were all out of play.

The overall quality of maintenance of the fairways was extremely poor. The fairways were left long and were almost like light rough.

The greens were again very poorly maintained covered in debris and moss.

I would not recommend in its current state

Would have more chance if you used a pitch wedge on the green rather than a putter

We had played Glencourse and Peebles on previous days and chose this one to finish off as it was listed as a championship course. I accept that staffing and maintenance of the course during Covid-19 must be challenging but both of our other 2 courses were delightful (and less expensive) and were in very good condition. It has a very picturesque layout but not having played it before we found signposting around the course lacking (several places we took a wrong turn to the next tee). The fairways had clumps of recently mown grass; the bunkers had not been racked for some time and some had plastic sheeting showing through and clumps of grass growing; many of the greens were in poor condition with large areas of bare patches making it almost impossible to putt.
