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.

Needs Improvement
5.5 hour round... tee'd off at 10am 5/26. Played the front 9 in 2.5 hours and the back 9 actually slowed down. Brutal day out there, the layout is great but if staff doesn't get a hold of pace of play and how chewed up it is if you miss the fairway they are in trouble.
The greens and T boxes in excellent condition.
Fairways poor condition. Great value for money and to practice,
This course is really nice it's easy access to get to off the freeway it's got a driving range of putting green chipping area very tranquil scenery
I really enjoy playing this course the people here are great the employees are all very helpful always in a good mood and the course layout is just fantastic. Very challenging course to play got some Lakes views of the mountains the only thing that's not greater the sand traps. Definitely worth playing the food there is really good they got a real nice bar in the outside patio is used with fantastic views.
Dirt course
Hitting off dirt most of the time. Some parts of the course look nice tho.
Solid round, midweek play
Found a good deal on golf now and enjoyed my afternoon. The tee boxes were shaggy and hard to grip with my shoes but the greens were nice and fast. Will play here again.
The worst
The worst! do not play unless you want to quit playing golf!
Bumpy ride
Ranger finder bounced off magnetic hold several times. Fairways and cart paths are miserable bumpy rides.
Golf at Carlton Oaks
Great day on the course with my son. Friendly staff and cart girl had a great personality. Front 9 pace was really good but, the back 9 was really bogged down. My son was hoping to order from the restaurant at the turn but it didn't open until 11:00 so that was a bummer. We will book again soon.
....Was a Nice Day........
...joined up with a fine 3-some, it was pretty green out there, kinda rough in places. best to be in the fairway on most holes. greens were good tho a bit bumpy at times. It played good but a couple of holes got me good...did it in 4.5hr on a weekday........
Horrible pace
Thought I would give it another chance after 3 years. We quit on hole 14 after 4 hours of slow play. Design is bumps and mounds and not much fun
Highly recommend
Highly recommend the best bang for your buck for the quality and course toughness with cart included. It is a tough course but very fun to play, unfortunately it was raining mid way through the round but still had fun.
Carlton Oaks Santee golf
Bunkers need attention, and greens starting to dry out,
Some iffy spots in fairways but overall decent deal.
