Candlestone Golf Course

The course was in fantastic shape and conditions. The stuck on approach and the the greens were fast and true. This is a hidden gem that everyone should check out.

nice day

We had a good time. Play was slower than normal, well over 4 hours that day.

Lots of leaves blowing around. Greens had been punched and dressed. Putting was affected.

Enjoyed

Hadn’t played course for several years. Enjoyed the layout. Greens aerated so that was a negative.

Tough Tract with Punched Greens

The course is demanding. There are some very long par 4s. I am 220 to 235 off the tee and some were tough to reach. The greens had been aerated with 1980s style 1/2 punches. The sand was missing from 30% of the punched holes and others were not filled fully. 6 footers were a complete guessing game. Good putts were bad and bad putts were good. Overall it was not completely enjoyable due to the greens.

The restaurant next door was very good with nice service.

The course is middle to bottom half of my list for going back. Might be better in summer. Not off the list.

The Greens

The greens were punched and half filled with sand making putting impossible. Fill them up! I understand this needs to be done but did you run out of sand? The bunkers were avoid of sand to. Hard pack made bunker shots impossible. The employees were not friendly. Other then that the rest of the course was in good shape.

Better than Expected

The course is friendly and fun. Pro shop almost non existent. The bar restaurant had awesome burger. A lot of ball beaters made it slow, but food made up for it.

Gorgeous Course

Beautiful parkland style and in great condition. Priced very reasonable. Multiple tee choices to make it as challenging as you like. Got behind a group outing that slowed things down considerably, but still a nice day.. Worth the drive and would definitely play again.
