Brown Fairway. I think this is the 9th fairway but it is typical of all fairways. Photo submitted by sherpaboy on 02/12/2022

Decent course
Teed off at 6:10 AM as a single and completed 18 by 8:30 . Nice layout, fairways dry and bad lies, picked up my ball to place in decent lies while on the fairway. Greens okay but lots of obstacles between your ball and the hole. Overall had an enjoyable round at a fair price.
Great layout
Course staff is the best . Course layout is fantastic price is great.
fiveball, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Carlton Oaks Lodge & Country Club.
Dried out
Fairways bare of grass. Course so bumpy that my rangefinder got thrown off a few times. Only one of the four water jugs had water. Two were missing entirely.
Early morning solo round
Got to play 18 in a shocking amount of time as I didn’t have much waiting for others and able to practice more than usual as there was no pressure behind me. Great morning spent and would recommend but only if it’s a non-busy day.
Hello, Neo4L. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Carlton Oaks Lodge & Country Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Painfully slow
I have played Carlton Oaks many times and it is clearly going down hill. The fairways are brown and dead. The pace of play is horrible and not enforced. We had to wait 20 minutes at each hole to tee off and gave up by the 12th hole and nearly 4 hours. I doubt I will waste my money or time here again.
Course in Rough Shape
Cart paths in place but concrete broken up and rough in places. Fairways in avarage shape but off fairways were rough. Lots of gofer holes.
Good first impression
A good mix of dog legs, water hazards, and holes where you need to play smart layup shots. I will say thebunkers could use some fresh sand and there were so.e bare spots in the fairways, and the greens were slow the day I played. However, this course is fun and will force to play smart golf to score well.
Thank you for your feedback; we're glad you enjoyed the challenge of our course! We're addressing the concerns about the bunkers, fairways, and greens speed to enhance your next round with us. We hope you try us again in the future.
First time
Overall the course was nice and fun. I’d come back for sure! The grass itself needs a lot of work.

Potential
Oh man… this course needs so much work. The bones are solid but the devil is in the details.
Bumpy everywhere. Dirt patches w/o grass.
Tee boxes uneven. Greens were good.
What a shame.
Oh man, u must be a pro?!? How would you know about all the bumps and bare spots if your playing from the fairway? I play here 3 days a week and never have the problems you’re mentioning. Try to hit them straight and you’ll find your ball everytime.
Sorely Dissapointed
I've never played here, yet I've always wanted to. In its heyday, I heard that this was one of the more excellent courses in San Diego County. The Pro Shop was small and run-down-looking. The carts worked, though I thought the brakes on my cart were soft. The course itself needed water - everywhere! The water features were dry, like dry lake beds. There was no sand in the bunkers, just dirt. I was sorely disappointed and left after 9 holes. I'm pretty sure I will not be back... ever.
Great back nine course for casuals
Nice go to course when I’m in town. Easily get 9 holes in 2-3 hours. Course condition varies but so does my skill. Overall happy with value and friendly starter
