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.

Short BUT Very Challenging

With the tips (Blues) at 5700 yds but a 131 Slope, this a very fun course to play. You’d better be able to hit it straight….many elevation changes, narrow fairways, and a few short holes with mush accuracy required. Very good day…..my only suggestion would be Thats need to mow the tee boxes on more of a normal schedule: very shaggy today. I will return and play again.

slow play

We waited on every tee box and fairway. Never saw a marshall. Painfully slow. The group in front of us was waiting for the group in front of them.

Mt Woodson

Loved the layout and it’s a great test of golf despite being 6,000 yards. It’s not forgiving outside of the fairways. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Fast play on a Sunday as well. Will play again.

1st GoltNow attempt

I didn’t play the course. My credit card had eight (8) charges when I tried it schedule the tee time. I called my bank the next day to cancel “all” charges for the $79 charges. I could not find a contact number for GolfNow to address the error. My charge card received a $104 charge today. Please help me address this charge. My first GolfNow experience has been unexpectedly bad.

5+ Stars

Played this course for 10 years. It’s in by far the best condition I’ve ever seen. The greens were as true as it gets. Thank you to the maintenance and course management. 5 stars all day long!

Pace of play was the issue. Starter told us that we could play the front 9 twice to avoid a 5 hour round and be able to finish before dark. Maybe they should spread out tee times a bit more if they know conditions are going to cause 5 hour rounds.
