Could be good

This course could be good if the city of Atlanta cared. They have tried to improve the course conditions for two years but every time just do a half job and makes things worse.

Lays new sod, doesn’t water the sod.

Lays new said, no leveling is done creating gaps in and around the greens.

Lays new sod, doesn’t treat for weeds so the greens turn into a pinball machine when putting.

It’s just a shame. This could be a good course if they just tried.

Cheap but fun

9 holes walking only, basically no parking lot. But they invest where it really matters - recent update to the course and decently maintained. And SUPER CHEAP so always worth a play

Note - DO NOT PLAY when the ground is wet it gets very muddy

You don’t come for the quality

You don’t come to Candler for the quality of the greens. You come because golf is supposed to be a game for all people, not some hoity-toity effete vanity project. Yes, there are a ton of bare spots on tee boxes, greens, pretty much everywhere. Who cares? When the game began in Scotland half a millennium ago, and the only greenskeepers were shaggy-haired, had four legs, and went “baa,” do you think those guys whined about a couple of “bare spots?” Heck no. Neither will we. There are 9 tee boxes, 9 pins stuck into little holes far away, and the existential risk of launching your club at a wee ball in the quixotic dream of eventually propelling it into that aforementioned hole. Enjoy Candler. It’s $12. It’s pure golf.

False ad

Your ad claimed it was 18 holes and that I got a cart. Both were false. I cancelled but you did not give my money back. There is no way for me to email customer service.

Not accurate listing

It’s a 9 hole course. Greens are in terrible shape. It says you get a cart but they don’t have carts and with your golf now reservation they don’t even let you take one of the walking carts they do have on hand.

I gently ask to get refund.

This course doesn’t have a drive cart.

I paid $40 for 18holes though

Iam 50 year old lady not that strong to keep walking this hillkike corse in this weather.

After all I coudnt make it.

The lady ‘Miss Misty on the check in counter can prove it.

I wii be waiting an answer from you patiently.

Not Reflective of Advertising

The course was not as pretty as it was shown to be online. There are no additional amenities., and the course is walking only or you can rent a push cart. It has LOTS of hills, and no par 5 holes. For $13 a person it is a good value, but as someone who travelled for this course, unless you are local, I would not recommend playing here.

Awful. Just insanely bad.

This course shouldn't even be allowed to operate. It's literally the worst course I have ever seen.

This shouldn't even be allowed to operate.

I can't even believe this is open. It quite literally looks like it's been closed for 2 years. It is the worst golf course I have ever seen in my entire life. And that's saying something.
