About
Carlton Oaks Country Club is the only public Dye Design golf course in San Diego. The course is covered with hundreds of mature trees interspersed with sparkling blue lakes and meandering creeks. The layout offers a diverse mix of holes that all possess a unique character. They all offer different challenges in the form of either water hazards of strategically placed sand traps along the fairways. Tricky pot bunkers and interesting elevation changes were also incorporated into the design as well as Dye's signature railroad ties. There are five very different sets of tees that offer a challenging round from the back tees but also enough playability to appeal to a range of skill levels. In addition to the enjoyable layout, Carlton Oaks is one San Diego's most centrally located courses, sitting just minutes from downtown and many of the city's major attractions.

Bumpy ride
Laser finder bumped off cart due to the rough ride, even on the cart paths.
Poor Conditions
This place needs some love. Great layout, poor course conditions.
Rough shape
Been about a year since I’d played here. Was hoping conditions would have improved. Sadly, the course is even worse off than I’d remembered.
Nice check in staff, spectacular cart staff, greens are nice, the rest of the course really is rough. This place used to be special.
Course condition fair
The condition of this course is fair, especially the fairways could be in a better condition. The greens are mostly in good to excellent condition. Green fee should be lower for the quality of this course.
Tough course, tougher conditions
This was a difficult with challenging holes. it's a shame that it's so poorly maintained otherwise this would be a great track. Greens are decent, but fairways are terrible. It's not even that people aren't repairing their divots, there are entire areas where there is little or no grass and you are hitting off mud. Given conditions, this course shouldn't be priced what it is. Starter was friendly and all the staff was nice but man, brutal upkeep.
Bumpy ride
Laser bounced off cart with bumpy cart ride. Course needs work sooner the better for their planned remodel.
Huge potential
Course has huge potential but from what it seems like is that since the course is eventually being shutdown for renovations they have let some of the course fall apart. All the bunkers on the course are in terrible condition and are either hard or dirt bunkers. A lot of trails are just dirt and the rough is just that rough… would help if they would bush hog the rough spots. The greens and tee boxes are nice along with the fairways in front of the greens with a nice putting green at the front of the property and the layout of the course is nice but make sure to bring enough balls if you have a slice or hook case there is not a lot of forgiveness on a few of the holes. Overall I enjoy getting out in the course for a challenging round of golf.
Pleasant Day
Tee boxes and greens were good, some gopher/squirrel damage on the fairways = lost balls. My partner took a drop and it went into a gopher hole! Hilarious. We started backing up three parties on 8, and a call to the pro shop got a Marshall out there in ten minutes to sort it out. All friendly and had a good time. 3 hr 50 min.
Course looks like someone’s abandoned backyard
For $40 you can play on carpet style greens and and dead grass the design of the course is fun but the course is just beat to shreds
