The course is extremely beautiful and challenging.

I really enjoyed playing Candlewood and was very please with the set up of the course. My first take was how beautiful the course looked but what make it so much better than most other courses was the speed on the greens. "fast". I can't wait to play Candlewood again.

Excellent course!

This track is great. The greens were perfect rolling straight and fast. The staff was equally attentive and helpful.

Overall 4 out of 5 stars.

Beautiful Course, Friendly Staff

It’s always a fun time playing Candlewood. The staff, both in the pro shop and the maintenance staff on the course , are very friendly. Course conditions are great including fairways and greens. They space out groups so you are never waiting. Definitely one of my favorite courses in Southern Cal.

Fast play, ok course

Overall a decent place to play. Challenging layout. Fairways with some bare spots and front 9 cart paths could use some works. Bunkers firm.

Best part were greens which even though recently aerated, rolled well.

Candlewood is a gem!

I have seen Candlewood on my tee time app for a few years now and always hesitated to go. For some reason I thought it was an executive course because the way it was presented on the App. Well Candlewood was a big surprise! Awesome day on the links. It’s a private course that allows play on Monday’s.

The layout was fantastic. The greens were fast but true. Pace of play? We played in 3 1/2 hours and that’s time looking for balls. It is tight off many tees. Part of the solid slope rating along with mostly elevated greens.

Go to Candlewood you will enjoy the round.

Hot sticky afternoon round with the guys

The group of us decided to play an afternoon round, the weather was hot and sticky. Course conditions were very good but would have been better if people would fix their ball marks on the greens. It was disappointing to see the amount of un-fixed divots on the greens. Pace of play was spot on and we finished in just about 4 hours. We really like this course and wish it was open tho the public more often.

Pleasant surprise in Whittier

Had a great time playing this course. Not over crowded on a Saturday, finished the round in 4 hrs. 15 min. Jacob, in the Pro Shop, was great. Telling us the layout of the course, and making sure we had what we needed to have a great round. We will definitely be back.
