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.

Tight and challenging

Played from the white at the course was lots of fun. Some narrow fairway and small greens made it challeging. Green were in great shape and rolling pure.

Great Value and Surprisingly Scenic

Course condition was very good. Greens were very good and fairways were cut very short and excellent roll. If not used to that type of fairway may cause frustration. Thank goodness for good signage on how to get from hole to hole. Why would I say this? The scenery is amazing as it winds through the hills and valleys. Not you typical back and forth design. Length even from the tips is not over the top and tip players may say shorter than they may wish. However accuracy does help on the course and which side of the fairway you hit due to slope. First time to play the course. Would I go back? Definitely yes !!

Great course, fun to play!

First time here… pulled into the course and knew immediately that this was going to be good as the grounds looked beautiful. We’re from out of state and rented clubs.. practically brand new Taylor Made sets that were a blast to play. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The course itself was challenging (we’re high teen handicapers) and yet really fun. I would definitely recommend Mt Woodson Golf.

Always Great Times At Mt Woodson

I played Mt Woodson with a friend visiting San Diego. Because this course is fun, challenging with picturesque views it was my first choice. Yes, it was a bit challenging for the first-timer, but it's already on his list to play on his next visit. Put Mt Woodson on your list it is always a great time.

Target Golf for sure

Beautiful course and an amazing site. Very challenging and prepare to lose some balls if you’re not a straight shooter. Beautifully maintained, pace was slow at times but is understandable considering the challenging nature of the course. Driving range is a net which is unfortunate. Overall great experience though.

Great Day, Slow Play

Loved everything about the experience except the group 2 holes ahead of us. It took us over 5 hours to complete the 18. Great course, interesting holes, great staff. Can't wait to return.
