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.

Very considerate

I accidentally selected only 1 person when making my reservations. They let us play as five as long as kept pace, which of course we did. He actually came out and checked on us, which was completely professional as well.

Rude staff.

I made a reservation for 3 players through GolfNow for Oct. 14, Saturday @10:40 AM. One of the players got hurt the night before and texted me at 9 PM - too late for me to call the course. When I checked in and told the person at the pro shop about the person not being able to make it, he responded with a very rude way, “And you couldn’t call us?” When I told him that I got the notice late in the evening, he replied, “I don’t care. We still have to pay GolfNow”. So I offer to pay the penalty - but he charged me the whole greens fee of $80. I did pay the whole $80, but do you pay the whole $80 to GolfNow.com? And did he have to be so rude? Things do happen to people where they just can’t make the tee time. I realize that we need to give you plenty of time for the slot to be filled, but you also have to understand that things happen to people unexpectedly. Also, you don’t have to be so rude about it. I liked the course but had a very bad experience while checking in.

Parking Issues

This is a nice course, but they have a tiny parking lot. This can be a real problem if the course is at all crowded. Since the course is located inside of a gated housing development, there is no additional street parking. This is not a small issue as you could literally have to wait 15 to 30 minutes (or more) in your car until a space opens up. We missed our tee time due to this issue.

Mt. Woodson/Ramona

Greens punched last week...so a bit slow but decent. Still a little disease? on some green edges, but not bad.

It’s okay..

I love the layout, scenery and the challenge of this track… however, the tee boxes are in horrible shape, and the greens were aerated. If there was a notification of the aeration when booking online…it was so subtle I missed it. Bunkers were great…lots of fresh, soft sand…and that’s even on a cool, wet morning.

So to summarize, the tee boxes were crap and the greens were crap (this week) but everything in between was fun!
