Great course!

The staff and maintenance crew have done a wonderful job with this course. It is in excellent condition on every level. The greens roll true and fast. The fairways and roughs are in excellent condition as well as the tee boxes. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to play quality course in really good condition.

Excellent Condition

The Candler Hills course is very well maintained. The tee boxes, fairways, traps, and greens are always in first-class condition. Even the rough is civilized. The greens are large but challenging with slopes and contours. They are faster than most, but the ball does roll true. Could stand some elevation variety.

Nice course!

Wide fairways, receptive greens made it for a great round of golf. Pace of play was good. Didn't wait much on Par 3's and it was quick on all other holes. The one thing I'll say is the cart girl didn't get there until the 11th hole and didn't see her again. No drinks or anything are served at the pro-shop or restaurant until 10am. A little baffling if you have a 7:30 tee time.

Absolutely awesome course!

I got the first tee time in the morning and obviously pace of play was awesome! Ended up being paired with a couple of seniors and they waved me off as they wanted to play forward tees and didn't want to wait. The course was in absolute perfect shape. Everything from the greens, to the tees there was just amazing... It has been a while since I play such enjoyable round. Kudos to all the staff for providing a great time!

Pristine Conditions

This course is in the top 1% for conditioning of the 925 I have played. Generous fairways with firm and fast greens will bring me back whenever they have another online deal.

Fun with friends

Me and 2 friends played with a man who couldn't speak English. The course was in perfect condition and we all bonded with golf, that's why I started playing 40 years ago.
