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.

Course was in pretty good shape, the greens were fast and soft. Bunkers were a little short on sand but were maintained well.

Interesting Layout

Fairways were o.k. for the most of the time. There are some bare spots. Greens were good and putted consistently. They are fast. Downhill chips and putts are difficult to stop. We played in 4 hours 15 minutes. It could have been less than 4 except the twosome we played with hit two balls each over the first four holes. The layout is definitely different than a lot of courses. Lots of uphill,downhill,or sidehill lies.

Golf Now Okay

When I booked my reservation, I paid my yearly membership, which should have made the price for my round for 2 people $115. Instead it was $150. When I called GolfNow, they said I would receive two $20 credits on my account, as of today, none. I now want three $20 credits on my account. Please confirm the receipt of my message and the credits. I should not have to work for the $$$

Great “short” course…..you’d better know where your ball is going!! Pace of play was horrible……saw the Marshall couple times…..no corrective action to speed up play on his part. I’d play it again…..just not on the weekend.

Challenging but nice

Nice course but very challenging. If you are new there, ask for the "cheat sheet", there are some holes that is hard to see where the fairway goes....

All in all is a very sweet course to play

Pace of Play

I played here on a slow weekday. Nevertheless, I was still waiting on almost every tee with the other groups in front of me. The pace of play here is really unacceptable. I can't even imagine how bad it would be during a busy weekend.

Beware whether the golf cart would not break down in the middle of play!

The latest upgrade of golf course was greatly helping lower the score. Nonetheless, it was quite a surprise that the golf cart bolts got loose in the middle of 2nd half. A more interesting surprise took place, when returning the cart at the club house. If one xpected the personnel to say sorry to you, it was nearly a shock to hear "You are responsible for the damage" from them. Furthermore, he told me that's why you signed up for the cart in the beginning. If you have to go there, beware of such mishap that could spoil your post-game spirit!
