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.

Woodson

This is a short course. You can hit driver on many holes, but don't need to. A fairway metal gets you close enough for a short approach shot. The course is not walkable. The distance between green and the next tee is often huge and either very uphill or downhill and sometimes both. The greens are typically (I'm told) very fast and might be the course's main defense. In my outing they were not as speedy due to recent rains.

Great Course for Value

You won’t find faster greens anywhere in San Diego. Course makes you think about your next shot before it’s hit, really enjoyed it and will be back.

Terrible Management

We were told there was a Marshall but never saw him or her. 3 hours to make the turn due to horrible course management. Love this course but will never come back without assurances that does not happen again, Should be a free round of golf......
