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.

Golf in the Mountains of Ramona

Woodson is a fantastic course that they continue to maintain very well. The pace was great with an 0815 tee time; any later it would have been more stacked up.

The green complexes are fast and fun and club selection is critical to get right.

If you don’t have a range Finder then best of luck because the carts do not have GPS. That said, this place is so beautiful and peaceful. Good times!

Fun course

They are working on the course which is throwing it off a bit in the appearance and 10th hole play. Overall it is a fun course and definitely worth a try. Greens were in great condition and most tee boxes were in good condition. Will play again

A Journey of the Spirit

This course is hard for me as a 22 hc but it is always fun and challenging. Some of the mountain views are inspirational. I consider the course to be my church and Mt. Woodson is a Cathedral.

Work Being Done

I was very disappointed to discover a number of issues with the course that were not disclosed prior to booking my tee time. Frist off all the greens and some fairways had been recently punched...no warning. The main water feature on 1 and 10 is a large muddy hole in the ground and number 10 is partially closed. Even with this all going on they charged full price. The pace was also brutally slow and there wasn't a course marshall in sight. We finally gave up after almost 5 hours of waiting at every single tee box to play.
