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.

Great course

MT Woodson is in great shape. As always, you have to think about ball placement and pay attention to where you don't want to be. Woodson is not terribly long, although it does have a couple of back-to-back par 5s that can play quite long if your ball is not in the right spot. If you haven't played it yet, Mt Woodson is well worth the drive to get there.

The course looks and plays great. Really had a fun time. The course rewards accuracy and penalizes errant tee shots.

Mt. Woodson

This course has great views with elevated tees. The course was in great shape. You might make a few donations on some errant shots. We play this course everytime we come into the San Diego area, one of our favorites.

Greens have been better!

I always enjoy playing Woodson as it’s a great track in a great location. Overall the course is in good shape, but the greens weren’t the best I have seen it. They were a bit slow and too fuzzy to roll true. I’ve seen it much better, but it was still a fun day!
