Carlton Oaks Lodge & Country Club

Greens are legit and in good condition. The tee boxes were mostly in good shape and mostly level. They are a little furry right now, but it’s November and so that’s OK. The issue with this course is the fairways, they Just aren’t in good shape.

Range mats are below average and need replaced. Putting green is legit.

Bc of the fairways and it’s every fairway, the right price is $40 mid week with a cart and weekends $50 a person.

Fairways are bumpy and barren in too many places. Bunkers have NO sand. Greens are slow but decent.

Minimal course maintenance, with unfavorable lies in the fairways. Waited on every shot behind a five-some.

Not sure how they can charge $80 to play on a bunch of dirt and dead grass. Greens are a little better than the rest of the course, but slower than molasses. Expect to be spend close to 6 hours to finish 18 holes on a weekend

The course was in very poor shape. The only holes that I can remember that had an actual fairway were the last few .we won’t be back.

Beer cart rep was nice.

Course was in ok condition all things considered. Pace of play was a little slow on back-nine. Had a newbie in the group in front of us. Tough lay-out with just the right level of being challenged. Staff was super professional and courteous. Hit 2 of the best shots in recent memory

Knocked down a tee shot on a par 3 on front nine within 2 feet and holed out an eagle on hole #9 from 92 yards out! Overall one of the best values in the greater San Diego/East County areas.

While the staff here is generally friendly, the course itself is in pathetic condition. With the exception of the greens, the course is either overgrown or simply bare dirt. It is sad to see this Pete Dye designed course is such bad condition. I don't understand why they let this course fall into such obvious disrepair. I was also surprised to see they were putting out fivesomes...sometimes two or three in a row. This really slowed play down and is really bad form. I wouldn't recommend this course.

First I will start by saying the staff there is top notch. Very friendly and helpful. The course had a great layout but is in absolutely terrible condition. The greens are nice but everything else is a wreck. Hopefully they can revive the course because I’d love to play it when it gets back in better shape.

Played this course for years. Great test of golf.not anymore. The tee box grass is 3” long. Apparently the mower doesn’t work. Place is completely embarrassing. $80 no chance. Never again. Rant over

The front nine we did not see anybody in front of us. On the back nine there was a major log jam. It appears you sent many golfers off the back nine which made the back nine 2 1/2 hours plus which is unacceptable.

This might be the worst course in San Diego County. So much potential in terms of layout but the conditions were absolutely terrible. Tee boxes slanted, dirt in the middle of fairways, leaves everywhere making it impossible to find your ball, and unwelcoming old man at check-in (attitude as if he were angry at us for having to work).

Would not recommend to any friend.

Tons of potential. Very challenging Pete dye design. What little maintenance there is goes only to the greens. It seems that management is counting the days before they go under. Everything from the tee boxes to the fringe is absolutely neglected.

This absolutely has to be the worst Golf course I’ve ever seen let alone played! The Tee boxes haven’t been cut in what looked like 2 months! They were uneven boxes and had large holes all over the place! You couldn’t even stand straight for your shot! At one point we thought we were at a landscaping dump because there was piles of trees and dirt and branches everywhere! This wasn’t a golf course and honestly I wouldn’t have someone pay me to play the course again!

In my opinion I think this is a direct reflection of absolutely terrible management by whom ever owns the course!

This track mirrors Cottonwood. Slow play, unkept tee boxes, overall poorly maintained. Best I can say, the cart was fully charged and fast enabling my group to quickly get to our next shot and wait. Departed course after 15 holes to avoid a 6 hour round.

Course is in good shape

Is there a way to get people to fix their ball marks on the greens? Signs on the green on the scorecard might help
