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.

Plays longer than yardage

Very tight driving course, and a number of holes are uphill and in the wind. Overall, very enjoyable course with a lot of character.

Single Golfers Beware

Recently this course has started to force single golfers to share a cart. If you want your own cart, it is now at least an additional $25. They also don't apply the policy evenly. When I was there, it was only single golfers who booked through Golfnow that were forced to share a cart. The "regulars" got their own carts.

Course maintenance

I love the course layout at mount Woodson. But the course conditions are fair to poor at this time. Lots of bare ground and tight lies due to spotty grass. If not for that, I'd give this course five stars. The one plus are the greens are in very good shape.

Poor pace of play and they don’t care

I am a realistic golfer. I know when I play in the afternoon it will be slower. However, there should never be a 5+ hour round when everyone is in a cart and can drive to their ball. The group in front of us had at least 2 holes open and they didn’t give 2 fudges about it. They backed up the course so bad there were 3 groups on a par 5. And the Marshal saw it and did nothing to move them. When we complained at turn to them pro shop, that guy could care less. He suggested we skip a hole. His attitude was terrible and said nothing I can do. This didn’t just ruin it for our group but every group behind us. I really like this course, but show you care a little more about the 20+ people who were stuck on a 20-minute per hole pace. Unreal!
