Mt. Woodson Golf Club is one of San Diego County's most popular courses for a number of reasons, one being the spectacular setting. Nestled in the Ramona Valley, the course is sprawls across a dramatic landscape of towering oak trees, enormous granite boulders, and sparkling blue lakes. Nearly every hole on the golf course provides stunning views of the surrounding mountains and canyons. It is also known for being one of the most challenging and well maintained layouts in the area. The tight fairways and small greens demand accuracy. There are also plenty of interesting elevation changes throughout. The golf course offers true target-style golf that will test the shot-making abilities of even the most experienced players. One of the most unique features of the course is the 450-foot wooden bridge that winds through the treetops.

You Should Play

Rating i gave was a 4, only because it could have been greener, but not by much. Fairways were firm and rolled out a little more than usual and nobody should complain about that. Greens were excellent and rolled fast. Just the way I liked. All in all the course is in great shape to play right now.

Horrific staff

I just finished playing a round of golf here , our tee time was 12:20 3 times the marshal(John) approached us with a bad attitude telling us to play faster I turned around and there was nobody on the tee box and on top of that in our group there was an 11 year old tournament player following every rule and walking off every putt (she ended +3 ) but he never approached them just my cart then when we got to the tenth a woman from the pro shop came out to tell us we had to skip a hole , we said no because the group behind us was STILL ON THE TEEBOX of 9 . Horrible customer service nasty people and btw we ended our round at 4:38 . 4 hours and 18 minutes is not a crazy long round on a Sunday .

A lot of Character

This course has a ton of character, from the layout, the challenges, the wooden bridge, all of it is amazing.

It is a fairly short course but very challenging. If you’re too brave you’ll end up in a lot of trouble, but if you play too timidly you can still hurt yourself. It was a lot of fun and an amazing course.

Superb golf and value!

I can hardly believe that this mid-week Golfnow.com deal was only $43.99. I've now played over 75 courses (mainly in SoCal) over the last 6 years. This is probably the best value I've experienced! Wonderful layout, views, conditions and staff! Very challenging for me as a mid-teens handicapper but fair and rewarding if you can keep it straight! It was almost a 2 hour drive for me to get there from Hemet area but well worth it!

BTW...Gary (the Starter) is a wonderful "senior citizen" with an amazing knowledge of the HISTORY of the course and the area around it! Hat's off to Gary!!!

Very good course! Fairways and tee boxes are well-maintained. Greens had recently been aerated. Lots of elevation changes. Beautiful terrain.

We enjoyed our round.

First class

This golf course was first class.. Five Star All The Way.. checking in at the pro shop was very welcoming and informative.. the starter is the best I've ever encountered.. and the course something to behold.. it's not super long but you'll think it's 7,000 yards.. try it.. it's incredible!
