Carlton Oaks Country Club - Country club in Santee - 9200 Inwood Dr, USA

This review is only of the golf course. This is the absolute worst course I have played. And that is from a person who has played Spring Valley in Elizabeth, CO. There was no definition to the fairways. Hit it right down the middle, and you would have less than 25% chance of being on grass. The greens were better than the non-existent fairways, but that is a low bar to clear They had us riding cart path only. I figure that was to keep mud off the cart tires.

Played a round of 18 with my Tuesday group--didn't stay in the hotel. Good practice green, bare dirt driving range. Greens were good and challenging. Fairways and bunkers average for SoCal. Pocket gophers were plentiful throughout! Staff was friendly and accommodating but pro shop has been downsized significantly. Lounge area was clean and accommodating. Try the cocoanut shrimp--they were affordably priced and surprisingly delicious!

Playing here in August to playing in December this is not worth 80 plus dollars on a weekend compared to other courses in the area. Driving range looks exactly the same! The Marshall is ridiculous as there was no need to rush anyone on that course. Rushed us twice stating keep pace when no one was behind us at all the whole time. Fairways are the same as they were in August (garbage). Greens were ok. This course needs to step up there professionalism and beautification before I or my friends and anyone else I can warn go here and waste there money.

This hotel is nasty, my family just stayed here 1 night!! Smelled horrible! Stains showing on no spring mattresses. Great location, disgusting rooms. 2 stars would be generous. DON’T STAY HERE!!! Positive reviews have to be fake. Not even close yo being nice, even on a basic level. I sent them there because of the 4-star rating. NOT ACCURATE AT ALL.

Quiet and relaxing. Just what we wanted only complaint would be no microwave in a studio suite and way away from any place to heat up any food. BUT LOVED OUR STAY...

Played Monday 10/23. Price went up $20 from Thursday. Had rain showers and cart's have no protection got soaked. Course condition was rough to be kind. I live in the area and want to play here but they have a long way to go to get my business back.

It's an older hotel but very clean. It's off the main roads so you won't deal with the riff raff you might find at other Santee hotels. It's a hidden gem of Santee hotels and the only one I will recommend to family and friends when visiting. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the rooms is that they are dated. The grandkids loved the pool.

We stayed here for 6 unfortunate nights recently with my child's sports team. This is not a hotel. It's a motel. On a golf course. We stayed on the first floor on the non golf course side and I'm hearing from other families who were on the golf course side that we lucked out because there were less bugs... Make no mistake, we still had our share of bugs. In fact, I'm still recovering from the 200 bug bites I received during my week at this place. Most of them were received at night - I think - while the kids were in the pool and the parents were socializing. The other bugs were in our room. On multiple days, little black ants appeared out of nowhere in our bathroom sink. Not sure where they came from or how but it makes me shudder to think about it. We even made a conscious effort not to bring food into the room because 1) we were on the first floor of this hotel and 2) it looks like a place that would attract bugs. I was not wrong. There was also a 1.5" centipede in our shower one day which I had to calmly remove on my own so as not to freak out my child who never would've stayed in the room again if they came upon it themself.||The walls in the rooms are made of brick and the carpet is so dirty and old, we never went anywhere without our shoes on in the room. The lighting is very poor, only two table lamps in the room so had to open up the blinds on my 1st floor unit just to get more light in, but it came at the expense of privacy. Had a lot of golfers walk by and look right in.||The only positive I took away from this experience was the housekeeping service. Not only were they friendly, but they came daily. A place like this requires daily cleaning.||Honestly, this facility should be condemned and this place should just operate as a golf course. For the rate we paid for the room block, we thought we were getting a deal, but we actually got ripped off. This wasn't worth anything close to the rate we paid. On top of the fact that this place charges an additional $10/night "resort fee." Yikes. I never plan on staying here again - would not think twice about that. I also highly recommend no one else stay here if your visit takes you to Santee. I'm sure they will all be better options than Carlton Oaks.
