Shame as views are epic

Having played course before I knew the views are spectacular. Shame the course was in poor condition for May! Greens were fluffy and appalling, fairways were ragged and overall conditions very poor.

Pace of play was very slow as there was a match on, this is where pro should always state that but they never do!

Won't be returning....sadly.

Beautiful views

It was frosty, very cold, quite wet, and a couple of holes were closed - but in very good nick for the time of the year, all things considered. And on a frosty but sunny winter's day, the views were unparalleled. Very glad I played here!

Fabulous views

Friendly staff very welcoming before and after our round. The course was in great condition considering several days of rain before we played.

Cradoc is well situated 45 mins from Cardiff just outside Brecon with the most fabulous views of any course I’ve played. The two ball in front of us were a bit slow as they continued to remove flags for every putt.

Lovely course with stunning views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf. This is a lovely course with stunning views of the Brecon Beacons!

The course is challenging with several long holes. I would recommend a round if you are in the area for the views and surroundings alone. The only slight negative was the pace of play. We teed off at 12.50pm on a Thursday and the course was busy. We let one pair through us thinking we might be slow! But caught them up on the 3rd hole and stayed behind them all the way round. The 4 ball in front were incredibly slow - even with buggies!

Definitely worth the trip!

A challenge for anyone not their best golf. Even more for those playing the course for the first time, with a few holes with blind tee shots. It was in great condition and would definitely play it again.....when my golf improves :)

Great views, course in superb condition.

Had a great round at Cradoc. Views were stunning, and the course was in excellent condition. Not the most challenging of courses, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Excellent course

Great day out and very enjoyable course. A couple of steep climbs but the views make these worth while. Catering staff were fantastic, but the pro seemed a bit sharp and not so friendly. But this didn’t detract from the enjoyment and I will definitely be going back

Excellent

A challenging course with fantastic views. For a hillside course it’s relatively flat with some well planned climbs. Amazing value for money. A bit out of the way for me for regular play but fantastic for a few visits a year.
