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.

Good value for a great design
A great designed course, conditions were pretty good, fairways mostly nice, rough had some "furry "spots, and a few gopher holes, but that's the "rough" for you. Greens were moderately fast and true. Love this course, the views of the hills, the water features. A true San Diego classic.
Day after weekend rain
Folllowing a wet weekend, the greens were very slow and my "low" ball flight didn't run out very well. Staff is always great but I played as a single with 3 golfers all north of 20 handicaps. Still kept pace with the group in front of us but close to a 5 hour round, yet I enjoyed the day on the course.

Classic design. Still enjoying
course conditions were actually much better than expected. Fairways were OK, greens nice but slow. Rough may be tough. A famous San Doego area course. I've played is for 40 years and still enjoy the course!,

No maintenance has been done
The courses in very poor shape nothing has been done with the bunkers very little grass in the fairways. I would not recommend this course.

Off Roading......
The conditions of this course were absolutely horrendous.This course should actually be more at the 30 to 40 buckss AT MOST. But if you're willing to pay sixty dollars for golf and off road inexperienced than be my guest.
We apologize for the conditions not meeting your expectations and appreciate your feedback on our pricing. Thank you for your review, as it helps us improve.
loved the tee time
Great place! A couple of holes where you don’t hit the fairway that ball is lost! So make sure to hit straight..
have fun; good luck out there

Carlton oaks
This is a challenging course and can be very humbling at times when we went I believe it was after some bad weather so there were lots of flood spots and mud. All of the bunkers and ponds were a mess. Hopefully it gets fixed up soon.
Hello, robriff. Thank you for visiting us at Carlton Oaks Lodge & Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Terrible condition, not worth the money
Won’t be coming back here again. The course is in horrible condition for a course that charges $80. What are they even doing with all that money??? Zero course maintenance. “Ground under repair” scattered all over entire course.
