Very disappointed
I’ve been playing Carlton Oaks for many years and I keep hoping the conditions would improve. But every time I go back, the conditions are actually worse. There’s never a clean fairway.. So many leaves and dirt patches everywhere. And so much mud everywhere. My suggestion is to get rid of all of the unnecessary shrubbery and make it more of a dessert style golf course. I honestly can’t think of one hole that was esthetically pleasing. It’s too bad, cause the layout is nice and challenging. But the course in general just looks and plays like horrible.
Hello, u314162480495. Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Carlton Oaks Lodge & Country Club.
This course has gone downhill.
The course has a driving range, bar, Grill, and rooms you can rent.
On the course we saw Turtles, Blue herons, Hawks, a Swan and two Coyotes.
I played this as a Hot deal at $33.00 which included a cart. I would have been upset if I paid the $50.00 and then had to pay for a cart.
I have played this course numerous times in the past 12 years and it has gone downhill. The greens and areas around them are green and in good shape. The tee boxes have grass on them. The track is awesome and used to have sand in the bunkers/waste areas and grass in the fairways. Unfortunately, the sand and the fairway grass are gone. The staff has always been great.
The round took over five hours to play because the group that was two groups in front of us got over a hole behind. They had a baby with them, which is fine, I don't think that is what slowed them down on the back nine. However but we never saw a marshall we never saw a marshal on the back nne and it seemed like there was two on the front nine.
I would only reccomend this course through the "Hot Deals" option.
As others have said, this course needs some TLC. I hope it gets it.

Place needs lots of work, fairways a mess, tee boxes, shabby, great marshall in Ron. Overall, won't go back there, too bad, could be great place.

Great layout terrible condition
Great layout terrible condition It’s a shame that such challenging course and great layout is wasted because they did not water the fairways. Greens and round greens were in very good condition otherwise worse than a cow pasture. At least on cow pasture there is grass.

Hello, nomadcali. 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!
Increase your index
Fairways need lots of work.
Rip them up level them out and replant them.
Remove the rocks from bunkers and add sand.
Grade the green to tee areas for walking and push carts.
This could be a wonderful course with some $ and TLC as it was in the old days.

Lots of dry spots on the fairway
this course was pretty dry and needs some TLC for sure. The greens were nice but the fairways were in bad shape. Also, it’s pretty expensive to play here. I was expecting more from this course but it did not impress me.

Greens Keeper Wanted
Staff was great but the course needs to be kept in better shape. Traps have no sand (cement dirt), fairways were dead, area's around the green were bare and tough to chip from. San Diego has been getting rain and good weather, so there's no reason the course should be this poor of condition. Also, the ball machine at the driving range ran out twice while we were waiting to play our round.

They overbooked
They overbooked the course we had a 12 o clock tee time took 20 min in line to check in then had a 30 min wait at the first tee with 15-30 people standing there waiting and there was no start everyone asking everyone what tee time they had people were arguing and complaining took 3 and a half hours hours to play the front 9 and did not finish ran out of day light and I had one the hot deals tee time and when I booked and paid up front it said cart including but when checking in they said no and still made us pay for carts I won’t be going back there again

Carlton Oaks
Terrible fairway conditions. Frost delay backed up play an hour and staff allowed a group of 6 to play, slowing play even further. Multiple carts died and abandoned on course.
