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.

Hidden Gem

Challenging but entertaining course. Lots of relief with wonderful views. Target golf. Teed off at 10:40. Front nine played in just 1-1/2 hrs then finished in another 2. Fairway tuna melt was great!

Good Day at Mt. Woodson

We haven’t played this course in a while and were pleasantly surprised. It’s a tough layout and a target shot course. However, the course is in great shape and pace of play was excellent. We especially liked the grill room after the round. Food and service were great. Very good experience and we’ll be back!

Mountain Golf

This track was carved out of the mountain, hence the name. What immediately stands out is the lack of a proper warm up range. Rather there is a matted area with a net. Not particularly helpful for viewing ball flight. Once on the course you will find exceptionally difficult (we’ll call it challenging) holes protected by rock, shrubs and an incredibly tight targets. Tee times are spaced fairly well and we can only assume it is to provide each group ample opportunity to search for missed shots. This simply is a course for folks who are proficient at hitting it straight and don’t mind riding in a cart. No walking as the travel from green to tee could take 14-20 minutes. Not a track for beginners or even intermediate players. Wasn’t very enjoyable. If you go, plan on two, maybe three sleeves. We’re not likely to return to this venue.
