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 layout
Greens were pristine as usual but fairways and rough were a little bare and burnt out. A little early in the year for that. Rate was very reasonable though. Only real complaint was a brutal pace of play.

One of my favorite courses in all of San Diego county. I’ve always loved this layout and who doesn’t love the wooden bridge. Greens are always an excellent shape! I just wish I could hit more fairways.
