The course is not only beautiful and a perfect example of mountain golf in the Hudson Valley, but each hole recognizes wars and conflicts throughout U.S. history citing heroic efforts by West Point Graduates.

Anyone who has played a Pete Dye track before will instantly recognize his classic touches all over this track. The incredible bunkering(with tiny bunkers that look huge from the tee), the small green par 3s, and some excellent short par 4s.

Basic course that is over priced do what it offers. Has a below average range with Matts. Course was in fair shape when I played. No complaints on the greens or course conditions. Slower pace a very packed in with players.

Pretty good municipal golf, a handful of memorable holes and good conditioning. Greens true but on the slower side.

Never a bad round to be had at Candlewood, but nothing mind blowing or ground breaking. The layout is about as average as they come but there is a reason why I have hundreds of rounds logged here, it’s solid every time. Keep your expectations in check and you’ll have a fun day.
