Carlton Oaks Country Club

Enjoy San Diego’s premier round of golf with today’s feature: $39 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Carlton Oaks Country Club in Santee near San Diego ($79 Value. Includes Tax. Expires May 1, 2018!)

If you want to be let in on the San Diego golf community’s best kept secret, then today’s feature course, Carlton Oaks, is absolutely perfect for you. Featuring a championship-length 18-hole design by Perry Dye (son of the legendary Pete Dye), each club in your bag will be properly challenged as you make your way through this fantastic course.

One of the top-rated courses in Southern California, Carlton Oaks features an impressive pedigree of past hosted events including Q School and a U.S. and Canadian Open qualifier. What brought all of these big-time tournaments to the grounds, you ask? Simple: Carlton Oaks features a layout unlike any other in California golf.

Playing a monster 7,300 yards from the back set of tees, this 75.1/142-rated course is lengthy and full of hazards, all designed to push your score up into the double digits. The best way to fight back against Dye’s ingenious design is to approach the course with a plan of managing your positioning and executing shots. On the front nine, that means avoiding large areas of mature trees as well as oversized sand bunkers that creep into landing areas and protect the greens. The back nine is inundated with large pockets of water that rear their ugly head in crucial places – including the forced carry par-3 12th. Keep your ball out of the water and away from the hazards, and you’ll be giving yourself your best to chance to shoot a low score here.

But, no matter how your score looks at the end of the day, there are still plenty of ways for you to enjoy yourself at Carlton Oaks’ fantastic facility. The golf shop features a full supply of some of the most exclusive brands in the game including Ping, Titleist, Taylormade, and Srixon, and the practice facility offers everything you need to get your game in course-ready shape. After your round, the chance to toast your scores in The Oaks Bar & Grill is a Carlton Oaks tradition – and one you definitely shouldn’t pass up. The refreshing menu and drink options make it a must-stop for all who come to visit.
