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.

MT Woodson slipping

Having played here many times, I was very disappointed in the conditions. They seem to be doing work on the greens which is still a work in progress. Some greens were normal, and others were extremely slow. It was difficult to tell until you rolled your first put. I would avoid the course until they finished what they are trying to accomplish.

Views that will have you wanting more

Incredible views and tight difficult layout. This is target 🎯 golf with offset fairways, carrying over canyon like drops, and immaculate fairways. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful every step of the way. Only cons were the greens were slow but looked healthy and amazing and not much facilities outside the golf itself. Proshop, washrooms, and dining area is a ranch like cabin but the staff inside are friendly.

MT WOODSON REVIEW

This course is gorgeous, absolutely the biggest bang for your buck. Blows all surrounding courses out the hazard while being one of the most affordable. With each holes layout offering a different challenge this course is difficult but fair. No single hole looks like the other with distinct personality. You really don't expect this from a public course. But the greens are in perfect condition the fairways and rough as well. My favorite course. The staff is friendly helpful understanding and keep a smile on their face. Almost forgot the mountainous views especially from hole #2 are amazing. 10 out of 10 in all categories

Good tee off deal

Love this course. Has been in great shape for the most part except for some green repairs here and there. Not too crowded mid week and affordable with golf pass. Snack bar has the best food in SD county compared to other courses. Great sandwiches and burgers, salad too.
