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 all around course!

First time playing mt woodson. I have to say its a great course. The greens were super fast and a little hard to judge the speed but that just added to the challenge of the course! Fairways were in great condition and the views are spectacular! Some of the T boxes could use a little work but overall not bad! Just love the layout. Started at 2:00 pm and ended around 6:15. Never needed to rush a hole or wait on anyone in front! This course is well worth the price. Friendly staff as well! Definitely coming back soon!

A course for local knowledge .The fairways were cropped a little tight for my taste. The greens were humbling,

Would play again when I'm down from the great white north.

Just a fantastic course.

By a shift of planets I was able to get a single tee time in between a tournament and just love this course. Very tricky and bring extra balls. Food is great and so is the staff. Everyone is friendly and the course is top notch.

this is where it’s at folks

For the money ($52 on golf now) and including a cart(you can’t walk) this place is unbeatable, the course is well maintained and constantly worked on. I’ve only had wonderful experiences at this track, and the best hot dog in SD by far, pace of play is always around 4 hours even when the course is full. This is my go to spot, it’s worth the drive every time.

Never ever going here again!!

Never coming here again. We have a usually 4some that plays twice a month. 2 in our group are scratch players. We tee’d off on time and everything was playing smooth. Finished the front 9 in 2:10.

Turning onto back 9 we pass the starter who says we’re behind yelling at us to speed up. I tell him to calm down cause there was literally no one behind us the entire day for at least 2 shots. Claims were being a nuisance and holding everything back when we barely half a shot behind the group in front.

Start then goes on to follow us and watch us like hawk every other hole. I was about ready to chew this guy out but didn’t want to ruin my groups round.

Only thing that I can think of is that a majority of us were ethnic. Group in front and back were both all white. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COURSE. NEVER EVER COMING BACK!!
