The fairways are well cared for, but the greens show their age. The greens are relatively flat and sized and shaped well for each respective hole. Because of the player volume that plagues many municipal courses, and the fact that the course attracts many seniors and beginners, play is slow. Twelve holes will take you longer than you estimate. Despite its disadvantages, Carroll Park is actually a good course to consider if you're not up to 18 holes, like to walk a course, or desire a unique blend of golf and gritty ambiance.
Some regulars swear by it.
