Oaks Bar & Grill in Santee operates inside the clubhouse of Carlton Oaks Golf Course, a Pete Dye–designed championship layout and Santee landmark since 1958 on Inwood Drive. The 30-foot cherry wood bar seats diners across from 12 big-screen televisions while the patio delivers direct views of the course, sharing the Inwood Drive campus with Carlton Oaks Country Club's 18-hole layout and banquet facilities. American-fare lunch and dinner menus feature Angus burgers, crab cakes, crispy Brussels sprouts in sriracha-soy glaze, and jalapeño poppers alongside draft beer and house wine pours. Weekend breakfast service adds an additional daypart, and Friday evenings bring live music to the patio. Overnight guests at the on-site Carlton Oaks Lodge access the restaurant without leaving the property, connecting the dining, golf, and lodging experiences under one roof. The clubhouse kitchen also coordinates private event catering for weddings, tournaments, and corporate functions in the facility's dedicated banquet room.
