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.

Superb golf and value!

I can hardly believe that this mid-week Golfnow.com deal was only $43.99. I've now played over 75 courses (mainly in SoCal) over the last 6 years. This is probably the best value I've experienced! Wonderful layout, views, conditions and staff! Very challenging for me as a mid-teens handicapper but fair and rewarding if you can keep it straight! It was almost a 2 hour drive for me to get there from Hemet area but well worth it!

BTW...Gary (the Starter) is a wonderful "senior citizen" with an amazing knowledge of the HISTORY of the course and the area around it! Hat's off to Gary!!!

Mt Woodson

Very good course! Fairways and tee boxes are well-maintained. Greens had recently been aerated. Lots of elevation changes. Beautiful terrain.

We enjoyed our round.

First class

This golf course was first class.. Five Star All The Way.. checking in at the pro shop was very welcoming and informative.. the starter is the best I've ever encountered.. and the course something to behold.. it's not super long but you'll think it's 7,000 yards.. try it.. it's incredible!

Great experience!!

My brother was visiting from Ohio and we were playing a couple of rounds at Torrey Pines and had a free morning where the marine later came in and luckily had made a tee time the night before to play Mt Woodson for both of our first times. We were running a little behind but called and the gentleman made sure to save our spot and get us off in a timely manor. Very polite experience and what a wonderful course! Scenic views around every turn and that bridge between the 2nd and 3rd hole is spectacular!!

I’m terrible with names but every one that worked that morning was wonderful. Thank you again for making my brothers experience out here outstanding!!

Sincerely

Jason McComb

Plushest

Mt Woodson is in the plushest condition of any course I’ve played. The fairways were nicer than most greens I play in Az and I’ve never had so many ball marks on the plush greens.

The Plushest

Mt Woodson was in the plushest condition of any course I’ve played. I’ve never had so many nice ball marks on the plushest greens and they cleaned up so nice. The fairways were as nice as the greens I usually play in Az. Will definitely return.

Great target golf course!

It is a very nice place, the conditions are very good, the greens were a little bit bumpy but that is because they need aerification (probably the week after I played will get punched) and that is OK, very becautiful layout little bit short as I was able to drive some par 4s but it required really good shots to do that as all of them were guarded by bunkers, lakes, OB, etc, the tracks between some holes feel like going on a disney safari, really good bridges and very scenic, had an amazing time!
