Fun with friends

Me and 2 friends played with a man who couldn't speak English. The course was in perfect condition and we all bonded with golf, that's why I started playing 40 years ago.

Flags

The course was setup very challenging. The flags were tucked in behind bunkers. I can see if they were there on 6 holes but they had stuck many in that position. It was windy and that didn’t help matters. Needless to say I was landing in a few bunkers and not all bunkers have a good amount in them. The fairways are very good with any ground under repair marked. The greens have mended nicely since turf maintenance earlier. If you play, you should enjoy Candler Hills.

Fun times

The course is in really good condition, though the greens are pretty soft. The layout makes it fair for both beginners and more advanced players. The pin positions were in difficult spots with lots of slope. I always enjoy this course.

Sand bunkers need sand---very hard under a layer of 2* of sand. the greens are mending from maintenance. Greens 11 and 18 will need special attention to be up to par. Fairways are the best around for this time of year and the amount of their rounds.
