Carlton Oaks Lodge & Country Club

Green in decent shape but most other areas of the course either need some maintenance or transformed into waste area bunkers.

Strong layout, only one questionable hole, #5 but otherwise a great track

If you like Gopher holes, Crap grass. Bear spots. And dead grass, this is the place for you.

In the 10 years I have been living in this neighborhood, I used to believe in the potential for this course. Its layout should be bringing in groups of golfers, friends and great players alike from far and wide, but instead it has brought out a clientele that has not learned the etiquette of the game, the power drinkers, and where a 5 hour round is the normal (even 5-somes out there!!). There are more gopher holes in this course than imaginable, weeds, standing water and mud lining every hole. I understand that San Diego has to either choose the private route if you are fortunate enough, $250 rounds (just a few left) or $60-$80 courses. This is what San Diego is offering these days. However this course is a disaster. Borderline unplayable. The only grounds keepers seem were working on a patch of rocks between holes picking out random grass blades. Meanwhile no sand in the bunkers (pure rocks), treacherous holes, high weeds and slow furry greens with divots.

The management of this track needs to make a decision: get your act together and work on this course, or get somebody that will. It’s a treasure of east County and you are ruining it. Really. Fix this place. Take care of it, and have some pride in the game we all love and respect. Until this happens I encourage everyone to spend their money at either Singing Hills, Steele Canyon, or even mini golf. This place is gouging the golf enthusiasts for a “less than 1 star” experience.

Greens a bit slow/shaggy. Bunkers so so, but a nice Perry Dye layout and price is right

I’ve been playing golf for 40 years - never been held up on the first tee for a hour with nobody playing because I didn’t pay enough online - course conditions are horrible -
$10 might be worth it

The condition of the course was absolutely terrible. Couldn't tell the difference from the fairway to the rough and more gopher holes then you can count. $80 for these conditions is robbery. On a positive note, all the staff were very nice, but I'll never play there again.

Nice layout, course is in rough shape. Okay for practice.

Good value for a Perry Dye course...course in pretty good shape and actually have a marshal on course keeping groups on pace...

Tees and Greens were good. Fairways O.K. but very rough in spots. Bunkers are horrible, basically hardpacked dirt. Despite conditions I still enjoy playing this course.

Very challenging course , How to stay in traps like some water holes. Lots of nice scenery country feel yet city close.

The recent weather has left the course with some bad holes. The marshals don’t keep the pace moving

A great designed course, conditions were pretty good, fairways mostly nice, rough had some "furry "spots, and a few gopher holes, but that's the "rough" for you. Greens were moderately fast and true. Love this course, the views of the hills, the water features. A true San Diego classic.

Folllowing a wet weekend, the greens were very slow and my "low" ball flight didn't run out very well. Staff is always great but I played as a single with 3 golfers all north of 20 handicaps. Still kept pace with the group in front of us but close to a 5 hour round, yet I enjoyed the day on the course.

course conditions were actually much better than expected. Fairways were OK, greens nice but slow. Rough may be tough. A famous San Doego area course. I've played is for 40 years and still enjoy the course!,
