Mt Woodson Country Club

[Hacker James]

I have not played there in years  15+...I am considering giving it a whirl on Friday. It is a 7000 yard par 70 as I recall. Located in Ramona, California near Archie Moore Road where the aforementioned boxer used to jog/work out.  They are giving me a free round of golf, but I cannot use it until my birthday in July.

Darned C.R.S.    yardage is more like 6,000   not 7,000, but still plenty challenging with a 67.3/129 from the white tees.  Any locals wish to join me, give me a p.m. or email. twilight rates at 2 p.m. but even full Monty is reasonable.

How did you get a free round?

I play an executive course called Tecolote often.  I played there a few weeks ago and met a good golfer who said I should try Mt. Woodson. He said it's similar to Tecolote in that it's in canyons and is narrow with a lot of opportunities to go into the hazards.  It's different in that it's a full size course.  Another difference is it's either not walkable or very hard to walk the course (can't remember which).  I like to walk.

simply went to their web site and registered. They then give you the free round a week before or after your birthday. It also puts you on an email list I believe, for special offers and notifications. You can get tee times online as well direct from Mt Woodson without having to use something like Go Golf. I played there years ago....Bring plenty of balls, you are most likely going to need them!

Its a bit of a drive for you, as you go out hwy 67 almost all the way to Ramona (or take a back way from Rancho Bernardo through Highland Valley Rd).

Always enjoy coming by Mt. Woodson for this country club or a good hike. The golf course is very interesting and big. Keeps things exciting with all the hazards. Registering right now for that free round, might go down this weekend with the wife. Who else will be there?

My freebie won't be until July 2017. That would not deter me however, but I believe I will be playing Arrowood. Waiting to hear from my daughter.  Have fun!

Woodson is a fun course. Don't try to walk it though.

I have played this course, June and Dec 2016. I like this course very much and the wooden bridge is a trip.

Less than 6,000 yards, 5842 from the back tees.  I've heard it's narrow.

I didn't find it narrow, but then at my club, our course is narrow. I really like Mt. Woodson. I hope to play there again in June.
