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

Pace of play started a little slow but developed better later in the round. What can I say...Never too much to complain about this place..! The greens were a little rough with some fungus and a little sand on them in some areas but very fast and very playable. Very friendly and pleasant staff! They would get 5 stars on my review if the greens were a little better.

Had a blast once again!

Mt. Woodson

Very good course and a excellent one for the money. The greens were in very good a shape, the fairways were just above average. The course layout is excellent and can be a very challenging course to play. Will return.

Course is in bad shape

As bad as I’ve seen this course. The greens are fast and firm but have patches of bunkers in the green. Fairways soggy and not draining well. Pace of play was only about 15min slower

Tee boxes were absolute trash. The greens were good for the most part besides the amount of sand patches… and that’s where most of the pin locations were.

Fascinating course! Will come back again!

First time playing there. Over all was a great experience. The Mt. view was amazing. Fairway was good, green was decent, but most tee boxes were worn out. No real driving range for warm up, and the tiny putting area was always busy. No self serviced ice/water station, had to ask for from the mini cafeteria.

Short but tight

Great fun little mountain course. Not very long but tight and requires a lot of iron work. Only needed driver a couple times. Course is decent shape. Tee boxes not great. Some greens were beat up and one was completely closed.
