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.

Fun Challenging Course near San Diego

Mt. Woodson is the definition of a public 4 star course worth a 50 dollar per round value. The views and difficult course layout entirely make up for average course conditions. Mt. Woodson fairways are a little dry and could use some work as they contain dirt patches at random intervals. The greens are slightly above average and have good speed. The sand traps leave something to be desired as half contain more dirt than sand. Where Mt. Woodson shines is the challenging layout of each hole. Most holes have dramatic changes in elevation that lead you to take difficult shots from uniquely sloped hills. Very fun place to learn or practice how to attack oddly sloped holes with strange angled approaches. Would definitely recommend to intermediate golfers but beginners beware, this course is narrow and it's easy to miss the fairway or green with a misplaced shot. Enjoy!

First time here

Course was in great condition, especially the fairways. I look forward to playing here again.

It's definitely NOT a walking course, great distance between some of the holes.

Hidden Gem!

An out-of-the-way location and a truly fun and unique layout! Course is in really nice condition. One thing that could improve Mt. Woodson would be the addition of a driving range. The nets are ok, but you really can't judge trajectory. Staff is great, and the small cafe/bar is very nice!

Love golfing Mt. Woodson

Started going there about a year ago and have probably been there at least 15 times since. Great value for a great course. Really fun tee shots if you like a good fairway challenge with the driver but still scores pretty nice.
