| Greens: |  6/10 | Greens are an average size for an executive style course. Not much contour. |
| Fairways: | 5/10 | No real yardage markers are required as the scorecard yardages are quite accurate. However, yardage markers are present on the par 4s. Par 4s are tight and using a driver off the tee can easily produce reward or penalty. |
| Tees: | 5/10 | A bit uneven and worn.
Signage shows hole layout so a scorecard is a must carry.
Three sets of tees varying by about 10 yards each. |
| Course Design: | 5/10 | Flat course. An excellent walk for senior or a young family. A great learning course. |
| Value for $$$: | 6/10 | If you're staying at the Ramada in Fredericton you can get a discounted green fee. Check with the Proshop before you play as there are some daily specials. |
| Difficulty: | 5/10 | Carman Creek seems to get increasingly more difficult from start to finish with yardage increasing on almost every hole. |
| Scenery: | 6/10 | A nice view of the St. John River can be seen from a few locations. |
| Staff: | 8/10 | No beverage cart seen or expected.
Carman Creek should only take about 1 1/2 hours to play. Proshop attendant informed me of the Men's discounted pricing the night before the day we played. Thanks! |
| Clubhouse: | 3/10 | Stop in for the basics. Proshop is used for the Carman Creek 9 hole course, driving range, and mini putt. |
| Other Intangibles: | 5/10 | Scorecard is simple and shows the basic course outline. Course follows a near obvious route. |
54/100
Apparently the course gets flooded every spring by the St. John River. It's quite remarkable that this course can recover to decent playable conditions. |
