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.

Worst Condition Course I ever Played
Carlton Oaks should be embarrassed to provide the worst condition course I've played. Run down, terrible greens, dirt fairways patches. I would call this course a Dog Patch or a Cow Pasture. That's being nice. Called the course before I made reservation and was told the course was in good conditions. Lies and that is unacceptable. Told the Pro shop after the round and they didn't care at all. Don't' waste your Money on this DOG PATCH.
STAY AWAY
Awesome Day
Great value- only disappointment was the couple ahead of me were extremely slow playing. I took 4x as many strokes as they did and had to constantly wait for them to clear the hole. It's a fun course but challenging to me because I'm not very good YET
Getting better
It’s getting better. The course conditions have improved since the last time we played there. It was a bout a year ago. The driving conditions are kinda gnarly on the back 9 but it’s manageable. For $49 you can’t beat it. Carts are also nicer now. Place would be perfect if all of the driving paths were smoothed out, and a few of the rougher fairways got a little love.
Bumpy as could be
Laser bumped off magnet several times due to the holes and uneven terrain. What does it take to smooth-out the holes and dips?
I like this place
They're about to do some construction around and on(?) the course so there are bare areas they may not be maintaining. New carts were nice. Friendly people.
Pete Dye
Pete Dye courses are not easy and we should feel fortunate that we have one we can play at a reasonable rate. I love the challenge even though I am an 18 index.
Dirty
Greens are slow, bunkers have zero sand just dirt, barren fairways, tee boxes need help. This was once a nice course.
carlton oaks fun
Fun Day. The course beat us but we enjoyed our round as always at carlton oaks.
