"Played as a twosome on Saturday, May 17, with a 1:45pm start time. Due to a shotgun tournament beginning on the front nine at 2:00pm, we were dispatched to #13 in order to avoid any delay in teeing off on time. Great move...in spite of the tournament, we finished our round in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Excellent planning by those responsible for maintaining comfortable pace-of-play.
Course was in decent shape but somewhat disappointing. Greens had been punched about a month ago but haven't recovered yet; they were bumpy and speed was on the slow side. Some shots held well while others did not. There was a noticeable difference in the softness/hardness of the greens; very inconsistent and unpredictable.
Standing water in the waste bunker on #10 up by the green. The sand that wasn't under water was as hard as concrete; simply impossible to do anything but blade the ball out of there. Someone definitely overdid it while watering that area. Sand quality in the conventional traps, on the other hand, was much more consistent and playable.
For the most part, tee boxes were in very good shape while the fairways, except for a few thin areas, were acceptable. Not very lush yet, however, so the ball wasn't always sitting up on the turf.
Playing conditions at Carlton Oaks always seem to be quite unpredictable so I really wasn't surprised by what I saw this time. That being said, the layout will always test your game and challenge your shot-making abilities. It's a great place to play at a reduced rate or during twilight time but I would be somewhat disappointed if I had to pay the full rack rate."
