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.

Front had a tornado tear some holes up and so has been redone and is in better shape than the back that is more hilly and narrow.

Decent conditions and a cool design for a public. A pretty tough walk.

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.

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.
