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.

Not in the best shape

Greens are going through some work, played the day after sanding and it was better than a week later when I went back they were super slow and very unpredictable lines. Pro shop staff always seem to be whatever to see anyone checking in, starters are always nice and the cooks are great friendly people, water around the course seems to be in rough shape, I’m guessing there’s some kind of poison in the water because there were two still ducks with there head down in the pond on hole 7 next to the entrance of the course. It was definitely a vibe killer seeing that. Seems like they’re not taking full care like they use to? Such a fun layout though. Hope to see it 100% or close to it sometime again

Aerification

The course conditions are currently horrendous. They aerified the greens on Oct. 2. The management offered no discounted tee times whatsoever even though the course is essentially unplayable. They also force all singles to pair up. If you want your own cart, they charge an insanely high additional fee. Generally the staff was rude and hard to deal with. Hard pass!

Mt. Woodson

This place is amazing! For sure my new favorite course I’ve ever played and I plan on going back regularly. They don’t offer a membership but if they had one I’d be in

Golf Now Review

I love using Golf Now; it is super easy to book tee times and look for the right course to play on that day.

I recommend that all golf buddies use Golf Now for anything golf related.

Thank you!

Great course

Really enjoyed my first round at Mt Woodson. Fairly remote but very scenic and unique course. Target style golf. Pace of play was excellent. Condition of the tee boxes was the only complaint, they were horrendous.

Will definitely return.

Little bit rough around the edges

Tee boxes were rough. No sand in traps. Greens bumpy. Balls lost in deep rough. Not a bad deal for $50 hot deal but still a little rough around the edges.

I'm liking it more and more.

Mt Woodson did not come highly recommend. My golf coach doesn't like it at all but I wanted to give it another chance. Truth be told it's rather narrow and there are a couple of holes that are extremely difficult to get to but if you play the course a few times you get the hang of it and you start to appreciate the design and the beauty of the area.

My twosome was put together with a visitor from LA and he just couldn't get over how rugged and beautiful the area is.

Bring some extra balls, declair a practice round and go after it. Come back and play for a score.

I think you will like it.
