The course is in very good condition it's also very challenging with the dog legs and all the bunkers in the water hazards usually has a good place to play I would definitely recommend this course to everybody to play and the club house inside is really good the food is great atmospheres good they have a great patio overlooking the golf course I will definitely be back.

Played Carlton Oaks during Easter Sunday. Finished in exactly 4 hours. Course was in the best shape I have seen in a few years. Fairways were green and in good condition and the greens were in really good shape. Rough was a bit rough with some dead areas but this course has some waste bunkers so the poor areas almost fit in with the rest of the course.

We had a great time but found a couple dead spots on the course. Our assumption was after the rain the course would be in great shape, unfortunately not so.
Golf Now also screwed up our time as the tee time I reserved and prepaid for was not listed in there system, so Carlton Oaks had to bend over backwards in order to get us out.

Thank you for your honest review, we did give GolfNow a call about this situation. They informed us that there was an issue with the interface of our tee sheet and that your tee time did not register on our end. They informed us that they did call and email you regarding the issue and reserved the next available tee time that day. We apologize for any confusion on GolfNow or our end. Thank you for coming out and we hope that you will give us another try in the near future!

"Oh boy!"

Reviewed on 04/01/2018
I was hoping for the course to get better since spring is here. But there are some really bad spots where there is no grass. The positive is that greens are in great shape and around the greens the grass is well kept. The T-boxes were aweful, bare spots, weeds and tough to find a flat spot. Then on hole 10 I got the answer to why the boxes are so bad. The course Marshal rode his golf cart across all the t-boxes. To bad one of SD's best courses is not living up to its potential.

"Underwhelmed"

"Underwhelmed"
Reviewed on 03/24/2018
I chose this course based on recent reviews. I was somewhat underwhelmed. The course was in fair shape but the greens were very good. A little slow but that helped if you were above the hole. I found the fairways a bit thin and that seems to be a common thread with courses this time of year here. I was expecting a much tougher layout based on the fact that they held the Canadian "Q" school tryouts a couple of weeks ago. Maybe from the tips it gets much harder. I played from over 6000 yards and there was plenty of room on most holes for off line shots.The practice area was good with a driving range long enough for driver. Chipping and putting greens looked good as well. Not a bad track and away from the traffic of SD.

For perspective, I am a recreational hacker that shoots 1.5 to double bogey scores. This course requires some accuracy and strategy. I play it every year or two just because it's hard, and nearby. Greens were fabulous and fast. Fairways pretty good. Hazards abundant but.not overwhelming. Take it on!
