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.

Don’t land in the sand
Apparently “sand” consists of dirt and rocks. Maybe im used to something finer being called “sand”, but if you unfortunately land or roll into the bunkers here, I hope you don’t have nice clubs. And it’s different to see greens with multiple different kinds of grass and cut height, but that’s what you get at Carlton Oaks for $65. I’ve been playing here for over a year and the conditions keep getting worse. Maybe worry less about the homeless person you hire to strum a guitar on Friday nights and worry more about the grounds keeping. Disappointing…

Greatly enjoyed our round. Weather was perfect. Course was in relatively good shape. Greens were awesome. Pace was great. Golf Now deal made it possible for two Seniors to be able to play this course since we are too old to walk it. To have a cart included in the price was so helpful. Will do it again.

Still Fun
It had been 25 years since I last played there. It’s a little bit worn with thin fairways and inconsistent rough. But the greens are in great shape and the staff were good folks. It is still a test and provides plenty of different shots, making it a fun 18 holes. The value was good for what you get and for that reason I would recommend it.

Needs maintenance
like the course tough layout and you need to hit it straight.
Really need to improve the conditions lot's of bare spots even in the middle of the fairways. ,
