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.

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.

Fun course for the money

Enjoyable course. Not in the best shape in terms of tee boxes and greens but a lot of effort seems to be going into course improvements. It’s a great 9 hole course to tighten up your game.

Getting better

Course was in better shape than when I last played it, though the tee boxes were mostly dirt. A couple of the greens needed a little work, and they weren't holding my approach shots. But I will play here again. Best value for the price.

Cheap for a reason

Greens were the length of grass in your front yard, fairways were as thick as rough, and the rough was knee high unkept. We lost multiple balls that we saw land just because they were hidden in the thick. Every tee box was a dirt patch. We’ll make fun of our buddy who suggested this place forever.

Good from only the tee box

Greens are in dire need of repair and fairways are full of overgrown weeds and grass!
