Carlton Oaks Lodge, Ascend Hotel Collection

Won’t be coming back here again. The course is in horrible condition for a course that charges $80. What are they even doing with all that money??? Zero course maintenance. “Ground under repair” scattered all over entire course.

Greens slower than TP and Balboa but rolled true.

Fairways are ok shape. Some bunkers are muddy and sands hard.

White flag on every green. No clear yard markers. 80 for the round but no gps in cart.

Friendly staff but in my opinion for the price it’s not worth it.

The course area and scenery are nice. There are plenty of challenges to navigate (bunkers, water, and terrain), but the biggest challenge is the condition of the course itself. If you're in the fairway, no problem, but the second your ball leave the fairway, things get dicey. The rough is ROUGH. Tall grass, massive clover patches, and dirt/mud areas present a whole new challenge. Many drives that should have been very findable resulted in having to drop a new ball because the course just swallowed it up. Most of the greens are in average to decent shape. A few were a little patchy with some dead spots, but they play VERY slow!!

This course feels like it used to be great and beautiful to play on 20 years ago yet as fallen to the way side. Nothing but unkept up fairways with big dirt mounds and goffer holes everywhere. Greens are nice but thats about it. Tee time was 2:36pm but due to not having carts available we stood waiting for about 25 minutes until one was returned which was insane. I am glad I picked the later tee time and only spent $46 dollars, I would of been more upset if I paid full price of $80 since we didn't even get to finish the round do to loss of daylight.

This course is in terrible shape. With the sole exception of the greens, everything else looks like a rough cow pasture. This course has a nice design and layout, but almost no maintenance at all. They should be charging no more than $30 including a cart. You will be really disappointed if you are paying full price to play here... This could be a nice course if someone would put money into it.

Really sad to see such a great lay out gone down hill. Worst conditions I’ve ever played and been golfing for 45 years. Looks to me they are giving up on this place. No grass in fairways, greens where not mowed in days and haven’t moved a cup in over a month. Really disappointing!!!

This course is in awful condition. I've played many courses within 20 miles of Carlton Oaks and they are all better cared for. I will never play here again.

This course is covered with hundreds of mature trees sparkling Blue Lakes Creeks the layout offers a diverse mix of holes that possess a unique character they all offer different challenges in the form of either a water hazard or strategically placed sand traps along the fairways this is a must play course
