Rating 69.0

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 in terrible weather

I haven't played this course in years but it was in great condition, even in the crappy weather. The greens were excellent and the course was very well maintained. We'll be back.

Hidden Gem

Play the round today with a couple friends and we had a great time! The staff was friendly the course was in great shape and the car girl went out of her way to accommodate a special drink. Very easy to get in and out of the course and the carts were in good shape and the staff was very friendly

Great course, always fun to play. Especially in perfect weather like we had on 04/30/23.

Only issue I had was the condition of the tee boxes. They're in pretty bad shape, torn up quite a bit. Recommend changing the tee boxes around from time to time to give them a rest.

Will definitely be back

This was a fantastic place to play golf. First time. Very unique and tough layout. Most holes less than a driver due to tight tee shot. Fairways and greens in fabulous shape. Pace of play was for hours on a Friday afternoon.

Although the yardage is short, don’t be fooled as shots are not easy. Small greens add to the challenge.

This course has great features it's a golf course built into a mountain highly recommended

This is one of my favorite courses. It's like playing a course designed into a mountain 200' bridge connects to the other side of the Canyon. After hit a 160 yd from the white tees on number 3 hole onto the green or end up in the Canyon just amazing.

Great first visit

Visiting and working in SD for the month and have been looking for courses to play. This has been my favorite experience by far thus far. A fun challenge from the blues, definitely helped being paired with some locals with advice on shot selection.

Will definitely be going back with a little more course knowledge to see if I can improve on my first score!
