 Carlton Oaks Country Club is the only San Diego Dye
-Designed golf course. Experience long, undulating fairways, mature trees, deep pot bunkers and water hazards. Two practice chipping and putting greens,
driving range, and full service pro shop are available.
Carlton Oaks is a typical Perry Dye track. Lots of man-made hills and target greens to go after. Keep the ball in
the fairway and greens and you should be able to score well. Well manicured course from tees to greens. Due to the price and location, it doesn't get overplayed. Show up
early in the morning on a weekday and you can finish in less than 4 hours.
Voted second in the Top-25 Most Difficult list of local courses from the black tees, Carlton Oaks is one of
the top-rated golf courses in the San Diego area. It hosted the NCAA in 1974 (Curtis Strange won the
individual title and, thanks to his eagle in the last hole, Wake Forest won the team title.) The golf course
is a typical Dye-design with deep pot bunkers, railroad ties, and peninsula lake greens, set among meandering creeks and matured trees.
There are water hazards that come into play on half the holes. The course was redesigned in 1989 by
Perry Dye. The most difficult hole is #4, a 460-yard, par 4, requiring a long an accurate tee shot up a
dogleg right fairway, then an approach shot past the mammoth sand bunker protecting the green.
