Cheap but still not worth it
Course is in really bad condition. Tee boxes are basically dirt. Greens are terrible. Most importantly, though, the walking paths are so bad that plot makes using a pull/push cart unsafe. Yes, it’s only $13 but a driving range is a better value
Barely Golf
This is barely a golf course. It’s in desperate need of a maintenance budget and people familiar with golf course maintenance. The tee boxes are non existent and the greens are horrible. The city of Atlanta should be ashamed to be the owners of this course.
Fun, but rough around the edges
Candler is always a good walk. Playing conditions are a bit rough
Tough walk for a Senior golfer and a pre-teen
Temps were in the mid- to high-40s. Not too crowded. Course conditions aren't top-notch, but overall, the course was a good test for a 12-year old mid-beginner. It was a pretty challenging walk for a 74 year old, overweight granddad.
Main point...we had fun
Fun and convenient
Course is cheap, close, and fun, but needs some maintenance on the greens, I think that’s just due to seasons though!
Get what you pay for
You get what you pay for here… not great greens, but for $12 you really can’t beat it! Great for a quick 9!
Bad course
It is literally a park with nine flags alocations. The worse golf course I have visited by far.
Local muni course, easy to play
Took my sons for a quick round of golf. The course is short and a mix of par 3’s and short Par 4’s. Not in great shape overall, I think due to winter but also due to lack of investment in course care. But for the money and for a chance to play a quick, easy, fun round with family or friends, the course is fine. Don’t expect a lot, just enjoy the reasonable rate and the chance to walk a metro Atlanta municipal course. I enjoyed it and would play again, but I don’t recommend going with high expectations for the challenge or the greens, just enjoy the day.
Always Fun
I have been playing here off and on for 20+ years. Really a gem in Atlanta. Course conditions are not always great (hole #3) however its a fun course for an afternoon walk and golf. Always enjoy playing here. It is what it is for the money. I appreciate the ability to have such a course in Atlanta!!
Great value, fun layiut
Don’t expect anything this course isn’t, but it is a good quick 9. Half the greens are great and half the greens are dodgy. Watch out for some sandy tee boxes but the fairways and rough are all well maintained. For $15 in the middle of Atlanta it’s a good course to keep the rust off.
Great course for learning with my 14 year old daughter. We will be back.
Sunday round of golf
Looking to play a quick 9 on Sunday. Golf Course has a nice layout for an executive course. Course shape is not the best. Tee boxes are well used, fairways are not mowed, and greens are super slow. Otherwise a nice course to practice some shot making instead of visiting a range.
Candler
Definitely my home course and represents golf in the city but the real ATL
Tee Box Bunkers??!!
This course needs a lot of work but doubt it will get it.
Honest rating
Love playing here. The layout is great, every hole is interesting and fun. Scale back your expectations for course conditions because the city doesn’t show the course much love. Even so, the staff is fantastic and the value is ridiculous.
Candler Park golf course
This is a great location. The course could use more manicuring, but it’s a public course maintained by the city.
When we walked in, we were greeted very nicely by Soloman. He was so helpful, made sure we understood the course, and set us up with a cart to pull our bags with. It would be great if this course could buy new carts for use. They kind of seem like they will fall apart easily, they look pretty old and abused. This is a great course for practice, which is what I was looking for .
Get what you pay for.
Overall give the course 3 stars just in reference to what I would think is a 5 star course. The course is a great value for the money, great place to practice your game.
