Good from only the tee box
Greens are in dire need of repair and fairways are full of overgrown weeds and grass!
Par for the course at Candler
Course is a hit or miss on quality of fairways and greens. One green (hole 4) is not a "green" but a hole in the barren part of the fairway. Fairways are a little tall so more of rough than fairway,
Speed of play can be very poor and frustrating as you will see "fivesomes" playing a hole. As well as many course jumpers. They jump on at hole 2 or 5. Few groups adhere to the time limit per hole and play till they sink the put.
They really need to cut the rough and cleanup the course. The rough was way overgrown, losing balls just off the fairway is no fun. The tee boxes are a mess. And if you're going to let dogs on the course make the owners pick up the dog poop.
Good for money
Greens need to be fixed up. For the price, it is great. Michael is very kind as well.
Needs to be better
The layout is good for a short walking course. But the grounds are just not good at all. It is overgrown with weeds and bushes and several of the greens are just not really playable. Course has gone down since the last time I played it. The City can do better than this. Tee boxes are generally horrible also. Even for the cheap price you expect more than this. Do better.
Well-Spent
Not gonna' lie--the course is in rough shape. Candler's never been known for perfect conditioning, but the tee boxes were the worst I've seen them and they hadn't mown the fairways--shaggier than an old sheepdog. But listen, if you're going to Candler for pristine golf, you're missing the entire point. It's one of the best golf experiences in Atlanta. Just find a tuft of green, place your ball down, hit it, and follow it up and down Candler's graceful hills. 75 minutes well-spent.
Get out there and play!
Great course to practice on, good pace and friendly staff. Easy enough!
Just exactly like I remembered
This course is an absolute gem! Yes, it don’t get the maintenance it probably deserves, but the City does a fair job with the budget they have. I sincerely hope they can work constructively with the neighbors to preserve the course and draw positive attention it more actively for generations to come.
As a product of the early throes of feminism in athletics, it deserves better than to be developed into some sort of residences.
