    Really nice staff. Good restaurant with a good menu. Kind of a hike if you don't live nearby amd I was out of town. Greens fees were in line with the course conditions. A bit rough on the tee boxes amd greens but overall a pleasant day of golf and an attentive Cart Girl

    Wow... I've played a lot of cheap courses in my day, but I've never experienced anything as ugly and poorly maintained as this excuse of a course. Please look at the pictures and the dirt patches described by the pro shop as "fairways", further saying they looked a little rough. "Rough" doesn't describe 85% dirt and 15% uncut weeds (not even grass). Cart genuinely felt like it was going to fall apart, and the roof wasn't bolted in. Entire experience was terrible, and we even stopped on hole 13 because we lost our balls in literal dirt piles. We couldn't tell the difference between the fairways and bunkers, and that's not even a joke. Save your money, please please please PLAY ELSEWHERE. I've seen Cottonwood & Mission Trails in very bad shape, and this course doesn't even translate to that. Maybe they're shutting down, I wouldn't be surprised. Would pay the $40 to never play here again honestly. 0/5 stars LOOK AT PICTURES!

    Gopher Oaks, I grew up in east county and remembered when this course was prestigious, sad to see the decline. Not sure how they justify the green fees, even in the summer time grass is scarce. The way I view this course is an everyday greens keeper revenge, if you're looking to test what it's like to score well on a shitty course, Carlton Oaks holds the cards

    We wanted to sit and enjoy the beautiful golf course over breakfast and we're so glad we did! We had the pancakes with crispy chicken and it was delicious with coffee. The staff was so friendly and we enjoyed watching the golfers too. Lovely golf course, beautiful trees, and landscaping. We explored the patio, and it would be a nice place to invite friends for a lovely time.

    I couldn't even wait until I was done playing to leave a terrible review, this is the absolute worst course I've ever played. It looks like they haven't watered the course in a year. This place looks like Baghdad Iraq. Feels like you're playing in a construction zone. Took us 3.5 hours to play 9 holes. Course was also $80. Do not come here unless it's for free.

    This course is just down the street from me so I visit often. I am new to golf and I feel that this course is challenging yet still playable. The course is maintained well enough that I only lose balls because of my awful swing, and not because I lost it in the fairway. The greens roll well and they have a good pin rotation so divots have adequate time to recover. The ground keepers are always hard at work and I thank them for giving me the best chance to bring my score down. There is a driving range to get some practice shots in. I haven't visited it in a while, but it wasn't the prettiest range I've seen. However if you just need to hit some balls in an empty field, there are some mats, plastic tees , and a ball vending machine that accepts NFC payments waiting for you! The only time I've had a problem with a person was another golfer throwing a tantrum on hole 10. The staff, from the pro shop, course Marshall, groundskeepers, and snack cart attendant, have always been kind and welcoming. I always look forward to playing golf here! P.S. I guess one downside is that tee times are only 9 min apart. So if it gets busy, it really backs up. I'd call or check online ahead of time!

    I love this course. I'm out here weekly. Great staff always friendly with the nicest cart girls. Condition is always pretty top notch. Only complaint I have is the drainage isn't the best after heavy rain. But we live in San Diego so I mean not many places do any better. Great course I'll be there this week. I'll drop below some course photos. The greens are always in prime condition. The Bunkers do need some love it's never soft. But there will be a redesign in the future with the housing and course redesign sometime in the future. I may try to snag up one of the places.

    Yvette made sure at this point, when we were headed out to take our pictures, that we had a drink and snack waiting!

    If I could give more stars, I WOULD. Paul is an INCREDIBLE…read moregolf coach. Not only is he a PRO, but he will definitely pin-point your problem areas. The best way to describe his teaching method is: 1. let's see what you got 2. now try it this way 3. okay, good. but, now add this movement. 4. nicely done, now add this movement. 5. holy crap, excellent, now do this. 6. WOHOOOO! I don't know if that makes sense. But, what I mean is that he will incrementally improve your swing by showing you the TECHNIQUE, not just showing you how to do it and how others do it. Everything is personalized and very detailed. Paul goes over everything: how you stand, the language, the grip, your back, your knees, your arms, your "cool swing" look, distance, and accuracy. After only 2 lessons, I was already hitting the range by myself and actually hitting them pretty decent! On top of it all, Paul is FUNNY and knowledgeable. He is great all the way around! He is 100% the best coach around!

    I've been playing golf for the last 32 years and taken a few lessons before. About 10 years ago I…read morewas shooting an occasional round in the 70's. I had to lay off golf for a while due to the pandemic and health issues. I decided to get back into it and elected take lessons to get back on my game. I contacted Paul at Carlton Oaks in January 2022 and have taken 6 sessions with him since then. He is an amazing teacher. He will take what you have and incremently improve your swing. I am 74 now and shooting in the 80's again. Needlessly to say, you need to take what he tells you and practice, practice, practice.
