Played Cardrona many times and it’s been well documented that the course, especially the greens suffered post Covid, but I’m pleased to say that it’s picked up really well so hats off to the greens staff for making it playable again. It’s a great venue for stay and play and even better for society outings, which I’ll be looking into again for next year as time has run out for this year, but weather permitting I’ll be back don again before the year is out.
Thanks also to the starter, who was welcoming and friendly and helpful.

Realising the time of year, I was still disappointed in the condition of the course. There is clearly a problem with rabbits and the damage they are causing. Played here as a visitor many times and I think this is the poorest condition I have seen it in.
Also looks like more gorse has been removed, which takes away a bit of colour and a bit of wildlife.
Clearly work needs to be done, but a long process by the looks of it.

Had heard good reviews about F& RGC, and wasn’t disappointed, I thought the course was an excellent design courtesy of Braid.
Was also extremely lucky to have two cracking days of weather with little wind.
All the staff I came into contact with were first class and couldn’t be more helpful and friendly.
Would recommend to anyone.

Received a warm welcome, but unfortunately due to refurbishment the pro shop was closed and the coffee machine was out of use. So on to the golf. There was quite a few maintenance projects on the go like bunker reconstruction and some turfing taking place but all the greens staff were friendly.
A few of the walking areas were roped off to protect the turf round the tees and greens which is commonplace at most clubs this time of year. A few trees had been blown down after the recent storms as well.
The course itself from a playing perspective is fantastic in its design and natural setting and it’s degree of difficulty from your chosen tees (I played off the whites) I’m not a big hitter so I struggled on the front nine but faired much better on the inward half. The wind was blowing a fair bit as well.
All the par fives especially the 14th are cracking. It was very quiet the day I played and I booked it on Golfnow for only £23 which was a bargain. The fairways and the greens were impressive for the time of year.
I would definitely recommend it, and I will hopefully get the chance to play it again.

Unfortunately the greens are in shocking condition now due to lack of water/maintenance. So sad to see how much it has deteriorated.

Enjoyable round of golf on a well maintained & interestingly challenging course. Would recommend to anyone of any ability but suits my game as I’m not the longest hitter.
Staff I met were friendly & helpful & very apologetic when the buggy I had booked was unavailable due to a technical problem, but it didn’t spoil the enjoyment of the golf even though I played poorly.
Will play again.

Played here a few times now using tee off times to get the best deal. Love the setting, & the layout of this course even though it is a long track. Would suit the long hitters, but if you like a challenge then that’s what you’ll get. My only criticism of the course is the greens have suffered from the cold wet/snowy winter we had & I wish they would spray out the daisies on the fairways, as it detracts from how it should look. But these issues aside, I will continue to visit. All the staff I encountered including the greens staff were friendly & helpful.

Played here many times over the years as I live local. Course was in good nick. It’s a fun wee course if you want something different. If you like playing irons only then give it a try.
