Cairndhu

Definitely recommend this course. 4 star rating due to the fact of the fairways possibly cut up a bit more. I understand why clubs push for the use of mats later into March. Really enjoyed the course though.

First outing of the year

Cairndhu is a good test for any level of golfer. Very little wind about on Sunday. Unfortunately at this time of year there is a lot of mud on the ball but a good day overall. I would usually take a buggy but none were available for some reason.

Fantastic course with stunning views

We were in Northern Ireland for a few days and played several courses. This was by far the best in every way. We were given a warm welcome in the club shop and by the vice captain who offered advice on the course. He said it was in fantastic condition and he was spot on. We were blessed with a clear sunny day and the views were amazing. The course has an interesting variety of holes, some more challenging than others and we enjoyed every moment. We will definitely be back if in the area again.

The course is very good and can be quite challenging. I would recommend anyone to play the course but would also recommend a buggy as it is quite hilly.

Amazing views

Amazing views. Course was in excellent condition. You don't get views like that without having to walk up a hill or two, so yes the course is hilly, but the views and course are well worth it. We did however cheat by getting s cart and to be honest I would recommend getting one. Still 5 stars even without a cart.

For winter conditions the course played very very well, delay at start for frost, but got playing after.

This is a great challenge of golf, you have so many variations of shots and clubs, and it's a beautiful walk with outstanding views... in summer time course plays excellent. The winter price is a real bargain.
