About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 7233 yards
Slope 128
Rating 74.8

Candler Hills Golf Club in Ocala was designed by Florida native Gordon G. Lewis. In a state that has no shortage of golf courses, Candler Hills manages to stand out. The layout offers plenty of length at 7,233 yards from the back tees. The 662-yard fourth hole is the longest par 5 in Florida. There are no water hazards on the golf course, but what it lacks in water it more than makes up for in sand. Strategically placed traps line the fairways and greens. The layout has some challenging holes but it's fair and playable for all skill levels. Candler Hills G.C. is also well known for its extensive practice facility, which has a range with target greens placed at different yardages and a short-game area with a practice bunker and undulating green.

Great Course

Got a hot deal and went out with another single that did the same. Couse was in good shape and played really nice. Course is going to be closed for a refurbish from May-Oct so wanted to play it again. Look forward to playing it again once the refurbish work is done.
