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.

Not for beginners

This course is one of the hardest to play in San Diego county. It's definitely not for beginners. Even intermediate players will be challenged at this course. The greens are perfect and the staff is great.

Fun Challenging Course

I seldom write reviews because what I would write was already written....but I feel compelled to recommend this course and staff. I've played many 4-5 star GolfNow courses throughout US over the years.. *This is a really cool course and worth the drive from SD. Not perfectly manicured, but good enough to take-in a fun golf experience.

While the course is carved throughout mountainous hills, the majority of the holes are lateral or slightly uphill or downhill. Many elevated tee boxes and elevated greens. An exciting elevated wooden cart bridge between holes on the front9 that reminded me of a wooden roller coaster - wished I wudda video'd that ride! Many top of foothill scenic views. Fast, true greens. Narrow fairways. Don't let the yardage fool you...if you don't consistently shoot in the 80's, stay in your lane and play from the whites!

Very friendly staff in the pro shop and starter at first tee. I'll definitely return to Mt. W next time I'm in town. About 40 min. drive from SD.

Exciting, as usual

This must be one of my favorite courses to play, and I do not mind riding my motorcycle at least every month to enjoy it. I go from San Diego, and love it!

I like the fact that you must drive the ball straight, or take extra balls.

Only for the experienced golfer

.my partner loss more than a dozen balls. The pics of the course and info do not explain that there is very little room for error on 80% of shots. Any slice or hook in your game results in loss balls in the canon or tough rough just beyond the fairway. This is more fault of the golfer than anything, but a heads up on the course info might save some people trouble of trying to play here. Besides that it has a cool fun layout and very challenging. For the 52 bucks it was worth it

Oh Ya!

You must be average in length off the tee and better than average with accuracy to greens to avoid 3 putting No flat putts anywhere. The views are terrific
