Super fun GK Plays outing. Love reading the reviews posted. Please keep them coming :)

Mt. Woodson was in great shape IMO. Pretty impressive how quickly the greens healed from their aeration less than a month ago and I expect them to get better and better. They rolled mostly smooth, moderate speed and held shot well. The fairways are still mostly green with the bermuda turf hanging on. As the temps get colder at night moving into December I expect them to go dormant. However the fairways are very healthy, with exception of a few holes on the front nine, so about the only difference in play-ability will be a little less lush and yellow as opposed to green in color. The rough was not as long and lush the last time I was out here in July for a GK Review Guru round but for the most part it was lush greenside and on the thin side adjacent to the fairways. Bunkers in good shape. Tee boxes good condition as well. Impressive considering how small they are and it’s a course due to its target golf nature will get much irons play from the tee.

From an organizer perspective, fantastic place to have an outing. This was GK’s third outing here and there will be many more. Excellent service, well organized/friendly staff, perfect staging area to keep track of your whole group, beautiful patio for post golf fun, inside and outside accommodations. They also now have hitting stalls so no more teeing off Mt. Woodson with a stiff swing.

Thank you to everyone that came out to play in the outing! Thank you Mt.Woodson for being a great host. Thank you Cleveland Golf/Srixon and Linksoul for being fabulous sponsors!

Mt. Woodson is a one of a kind layout with exceptional topography and views. The bridge from 2 to 3 is something else, there is reason it’s on their logo! Love this course. Highly recommended.

Played in GK event 10/16/16. WOW!! What Amazing Improvements. Nice little warm up area into multi-station net, but soo much better than what was there originally when we last played a few years ago. Beautiful quaint clubhouse renovations - impressive. Staff were FANTASTIC from the minute we arrived. Very accommodating/actually went above and beyond to make this event one to remember and wanting you to come back for more. Course was in the best shape I've seen it in for the times we've played. Fairways rolled out nicely and were easy to hit off. Rough was playable; came in handy to keep from rolling off and down into a deep green-side bunker, yet tough to get up and down. Tee boxes (from the Red), were mostly well manicured & level; yet there were those that were slightly bumpy & uneven. Greens rolled medium/slow for the most part; but held shots extremely well. Some un-repaired ball marks, and cups showed end of day wear resulting in quite a few lip outs. I profess to be a fairly good putter, but this day had me scratching my head and grimacing in anguish of twoputtitous :( Bunkers were pretty consistent...and I was in my fair share. Most were thick/heavy sand, but one or two were a little thinned out. Cart service was frequent and very friendly. :) Pace of play was 4 hrs, and wind will come in to play during your later in the day rounds for certain. Course knowledge a Big Plus! Prepare with extra sleeve or two of balls, for if you make it through a round here without losing a ball, you can count yourself a Master of Mt Woodson. This course is one of my favorites in the Ramona area...the surroundings/scenery can't be beat in the for the price and challenge. Red tees are EXTREMELY lady friendly, and Blues will test even the most accurate of shot shapers. Practice chipping area located far end of parking lot. (Watch for errant shots from 2 nearby holes). Nice practice Putting area adjacent to starter area/1st tee box. Lovely, friendly, Cleveland Rep was there with great demos to get a real hands on look/feel of the wedges/putters. Will be seriously looking at their 2.0 chipper maybe in the future ;) Hope to be back to this course again in the near future...SO NICE to see the improvements and can't wait to see what they have in store in their future. Mt Woodson is a MUST play course...even if nothing more than to say you experienced 'The Bridge"...Still a dobule E ticket ride! Kudos to Johnny and his support team. Went home with TWO Beautiful LinkSoul women's golf shirts...can't wait to sport them around on my next golf outing. No better day than a day with Great GKers, and the beautiful challenging course layout of Mt. Woodson Golf Club...just this novice golfin gals opinion. I'll Be Back :) Thank you.

Played 10-16-16 with a GK plays. Course is in great shape. Nice lies in the fairways. Rough not too penile. Bunkers were firm but played well. Greens were a bit slow to me. There seemed to be a lot of variation in speed. They held shots really well.Tough to read so course knowledge would really help there. Some of the most beautiful views you will see anywhere. Challenging course with a number of blind tee shots.

Paticipated in the GK Plays event. If you have been to one you already know and if you haven't then you must plan to make the next one since they are very fun.
Fellow GK'ers were all too friendly, Johnny had everything well organized.
Noelle the Srixon/Cleveland Golf Rep was there handing out free golf balls as well as letting players take a putter or a chipper out on the course for the round if they chose to as well as donating clubs to be given away.
The course was in excellent condition, Tee boxes were nice and flat/smooth.
Fairways were cut nice with an occasional light colored patch here and there but not anything to affect a shot.
The rough was a little long especially near the greens.
Sand traps were nice and fluffy the one's I was in and I was in 3.
There is lots of water that comes into play which gives a nice asthetic to the course however it is very intimidating in fact the entire course is intimidating with narrow landing areas and small greens.
The greens were the highlight of the course. They were in excellent shape holding shots nicely and running IMO slow, then again I left all my putts short considering myself a good putter.
The grill area is coming along they did have someone BBQ'ing burgers and dogs which were excellent.
They have a nice variety of coke products, gatorade, water and juices as well as a nice variety of beers.
They do have nets to hit balls into before your round as well as a nice practice area.
Everyone wins a prize via the raffle after the round and I was a lucky winner of a plush pullover from Linksoul. Thanks to them and everyone who had anything to do with putting this on. I will be returning.

I too played in the GK outing at Mt. Woodson and had a great time. I concur with all of the earlier reviews. I would like to add the following: - good to see the hitting bays operational, it's not a driving range but at least you can get a few swings in, better than teeing off "cold". - excellent customer service, Mt. Woodson is a challenging, enjoyable layout, can't wait to get back there!!! Also enjoyed the coffee and muffins when we arrived. - another well run event by Johnny, thanks. Also love the wedge that I was very fortunate to win. Thanks Cleveland Golf! - great to have Cleveland Golf products to try out!

I played in the GK Meet and Play held at Mt. Woodson on 10/16/16. Overall it was a great event and I met some great guys that I played my round with. This was my first time playing the course and I thought the course was in good to very good shape and I would recommend playing the course. It is a very short track that gets it difficulty from narrow fairways, blind shots, smallish greens, lots of elevation changes, afternoon winds and strategically placed bunkers.

Alot of the tee boxes had quite a few divots in them. I would think this is because of a few factors. The course is very short and therefore often times I was hitting an iron or a hybrid off of the tee which makes divot. Also the tee shots are stressful. The course has a lot of target golf with bad results for a left miss or a right miss; more stress more chance of a divot.

The fairways are easily the best part of the course right now. They are in very good shape with little divot damage. I cannot remember a bare spot. The fairways are often very narrow and are lined with trees and other boulders after about 7 yards of rough on either side.

The fairway bunkers had fine clay not sand but most were in good shape. There was 2 times though that I was in a bunker and there was no rake at all. This included the mammoth bunker that is about 50 yards long on hole 13 with no rake at all.

The greens were in good shape a little firm but held approach shots. They were a little on the bumpy side with quite a putts from all players bouncing more than I would expect. I would think after a cut and roll the greens would be great.

I do have to note that our cart almost died on the way back after the round and we had to get out a few times to remove any weight.

The cart lady came around a lot and was very nice. They are in the process of upgrading their grill but currently there was no hot food available during the round.

Played Sunday with #GKPlays. Great bunch of folks.... good to see some old and new faces attending these events. It is after all Greenskeeper.org hallmark product. Greens I would say fast, a little bumpy, but held their line with a properly struck putt. Fairways in great condition. Bunkers have hard packed sand you could literally use a regular stance and chip the ball out of the bunker. Good thing I was using that new Cleveland RTX-3 to test out the rest of the bunkers -- I needed it. Thanks Cleveland Golf! Rough around green complexes thick. Along fairways rough was mixed bag of thin lies, really deep rough and fairways height. Not a problem for me. Tee boxes were level and playable. This course may be short but narrow fairways with tricky med-fast greens with hard to see breaks are it's teeth. I tell you some of the tee shots you're left wondering...what the heck do you do LOL. Play smart. Enjoy the round. Pace of play not an issue....It was a fun round and the service from the staff-- wonderful! Would I play here again? Of course... but mind you the traffic Sundays back to LA can be a little.... crazy :D

Played with the GK Plays groups late Sunday morning on a mostly perfect golf day, a little windy and chilly during the later holes, but just still a great day to hit the links.

I haven't played MtW in several years only due to the drive from OC.

Fun course, good staff and overall pleasant environment to get your "target shooting" going.

This is a short course playing only around 5800 yards from the blue, but the course has teeth.

no spraying the ball around here!

I personally found the greens challenging to read all day, overall they were in good shape, though I saw quite a few putts bouncing a bit more than expected in route to the hole.

course conditions tee to green were overall very nice.

I absolutely recommend you play here if you are nearby, and if you are making a trek to play here, I would say it is worth the drive.

Had a fun time at yesterday's GK Plays! Great to meet and play with apisarski and Kahoutek. The course is in good condition. It's in just about the same condition as last time I played here in August 2015. The greens are soft, a little bumpy and running medium/medium-slow. The fairways are the best conditioned part of the course, lush with good coverage everywhere. Rough varied from really deep, nasty stuff around some bunkers to fluffy lies with the ball perched up top of the grass. A few times my ball sunk down in the bermuda, which was definitely penal when that happened. Most of the bunkers I was in were pretty good. Tee boxes were the lowlight of current conditions; many divots on nearly every box.

Thank you Johnny, Mt. Woodson and all the sponsors for a great day!
