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.

Beautiful course in San Diego

I really enjoy playing on this golf course. It is challenging and has decent course conditions. The layout of the course is beautiful and you will enjoy your time there. It can be challenging and there’s opportunities to lose lots of balls if you don’t stay on the fairways. I will be back though as it’s one of my favorites in San Diego county. The staff is so friendly and they also have a cart person that comes around to serve drinks if you care for something while on the course. No GPS system on the carts. Nice place to play a round of golf no matter your proficiency of the game.

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!
