Great For Short, Fun Game

The reviews complaining about the course conditions are laughable. It's a 9 hole, walk only municipal course for $10 - you're delusional if you're comparing it to a $30-$80 private course.

The course has grass, bunkers, and holes - everything you need for a round whether you're looking for something quick or learning the game of golf.

Nice for neighborhood course

Glad to have access to small course in the city. Would be great to have better putting area, a driving range, snack bar or vending machines with more seating. Also level out the holes more

Cheap but still not worth it

Course is in really bad condition. Tee boxes are basically dirt. Greens are terrible. Most importantly, though, the walking paths are so bad that plot makes using a pull/push cart unsafe. Yes, it’s only $13 but a driving range is a better value

Barely Golf

This is barely a golf course. It’s in desperate need of a maintenance budget and people familiar with golf course maintenance. The tee boxes are non existent and the greens are horrible. The city of Atlanta should be ashamed to be the owners of this course.

Fun, but rough around the edges

Candler is always a good walk. Playing conditions are a bit rough

Tough walk for a Senior golfer and a pre-teen

Temps were in the mid- to high-40s. Not too crowded. Course conditions aren't top-notch, but overall, the course was a good test for a 12-year old mid-beginner. It was a pretty challenging walk for a 74 year old, overweight granddad.
Main point...we had fun

Bang for your buck course. Good par 3 and chipping practice but the greens are worse than a backyard. Be prepared for your ball to roll and keep rolling.

Horse manure

This was probably the worst course I’ve ever played. Terribly slow, horrible conditions, and if you can even call them “greens” we’re essentially concrete. Absolutely disrespectful to the game of golf. Gave up after 3 holes because I was getting worse the longer I played.

Fun and convenient

Course is cheap, close, and fun, but needs some maintenance on the greens, I think that’s just due to seasons though!

Get what you pay for

You get what you pay for here… not great greens, but for $12 you really can’t beat it! Great for a quick 9!
