Played 2/8 w/1PM tee time. First tee box being wroked on so had to tee off on whites then switch to greens on 2. Course in rather good shape with a couple of places needing attentio but nothing that detracts from play. Odd layout with some holes, i.e. 15th tee box just yards behind 14th green. Overall good course in good shape with great views of the Pacific on the back nine. Easy hit and get course with little trouble for the average player.

Played Feb 1, tee time 1240. Personnel were very professional and courteous from bag drop off, to starter, to proshop to snackbar and marshalls. Course was in good shape unitl the greens which were HEAVILY ball marked which other players took to mean that they didn't have to repair their divots either. I had to repair 4-5 other divots on every green no matter how far away I was from the hole and 17 on another hole that I reached in regulation and had to wait on the others to get there. The only other drawback is that it's REALLY far from anything other than Oceanside or San Marcos (and its still a long way from either of those!) Construction around the course but doesn't affect play. Couple of short holes on the front and eye pleasing holes on the back make for an interesting mix and something different with each hole. Move this course closer to San Diego and I would definitely add it to the weekly rotation!

Played 4 July teed off 0652 finished just short of 4 hours. The course is in excellent condition with exception of all the unrepaired divots on every green. Several times I had to chip instead of putt from just off the green due to several divots in my line and had to putt one short one and take my chances with the ball hitting one or more divots. I repaired 16 divots, including my own, on 12 and still had over 20 more that I couldn't get to due to the group waiting on the tee. Barring that, nothing else is wrong with the course. Everything is green and well manicured, the traps are well tended and this is the only course I didn't see any trash, anywhere.

Most holes are straight forward and you see what you get, but several have some difficulty and require some thought other than hit it long, chip it close. I thoroughly enjoyed playing here and hope others learn the "repair your divot + 1 other" soon.

Played 6/13 tee times 0646/0653. This course is always a joy to play and with the work they have been doing to improve it makes it even better. The addition of tee boxes, new cart paths and improvement of sand quality are just some of the areas that have been improved. This is an exacting course that has A LOT of trouble on every hole, but accurate play can be very rewarding. Expect to lose a few balls and get upset at some of the dastardly pin placements, and, if you played well, also expect to feel satisfaction with the level of challenge this course hands out. Make sure you call the course to find out about maintenance as the greens had just been punched the week before and we had no one tell us when we made the reservation, in the Pro Shop when we paid or by the starter on the first tee.

Played 6/5 tee time 0648, teed off at 0630 with almost a 5 hour round due to looking for one or more errant balls on almost every hole. Everything on the course is in great shape with exception of the sand traps which were absolutely HORRIBLE! Everyone was having an extremely difficult time getting out of the sand without bump and running the ball back down the fairway. Had the sand been even halfway decent, no one would have had 3 or 4 shots to get out of the sand. So, with the quality of the traps, I would have to say this was the least enjoyable time at Mt Woodson I have ever had. With that said, it is still a great course that takes a lot of target golf to score well and will punish those that don't know where their ball will go when they hit it.

Played 5/16 with two tee times 0642 and 0650, teed off early and finished under 4 and at 4 hours, respectively. Course is recovering from spring maintenance and greens still show heavy signs of punching, some greens more than others, with A LOT of ball marks on the greens from people incorrectly repairing divots, or worse yet, not repairing them at all. Fairways and tee boxes are in nice shape, with some tee boxes a little excessively crowned. A great course that is not too difficult and a certain confidence builder as shooting low is a possibility for everyone.

Played 5/14 Canyon/Meadow, teed off (at) 0930 finished just under 4 hours (at) 1325 even with playing behind Ladie's Club tournament so pace it very good at this course. Canyon course is TOUGH through a stretch of several holes, specifically 4-7 (maybe including 8 depending on wind) but carefully club selection is the key to success and making sure you don't leave any approach shot short! Meadow is the easiest of the three nines, with par 5 6th being the hardest due to approach shot over barranca to shallow green. Many tee boxes on Meadow are severly crowned and care should be taken when teeing up to ensure you are too down/uphill. Other than golfers not taking care of their divots anywhere and the tee boxes, there really isn't anything to detract from an excellent course. Check the online tee time websites for deals on greens fees and you can't find a better place to play.

Played 5/9 tee time 0712. Nobody and I mean nobody on the course except the group in front of us and they played fast enough to keep us from waiting and we finished at 4 hours on the nose. Everything except the sand traps was in excellent shape. Tee boxes need a little grooming and people still have to learn to repair divots in the fairway and on the greens, but neither were of any significance or took away from our enjoyment in any way. This course is all about playing golf!!! Met at our car with carts, pro shop no trying to push anything extra, marshalls actually helpful vice trying to keep you from holding up regulars, clubhouse personnel ready to serve you instead of in the kitchen or elsewhere. Wish I could get those that worked at Coronado out here to observe what good customer service is!!! Excellent course in excellent condition at affordable prices and one that needs to go into the regular rotation.

Walked on 4/30 0600 with no one else anywhere on the course. Morning special of $38 w/cart and hotdog is an excellent price for this quality of a course. Greens had just been punched last week but were well on the way to recovery with very few having any serious maintenance issues, though all were fairly bumpy due to punching. Fairways and tee boxes were in excellent shape with rough long enough to require extra care when hitting out of. Plus, a bonus $5 off coupon due to punchjing for my next visit. Customer service at this course is top notch!!!! The only problems are the crappy (and I mean CRAPPY) score card, it is certainly not one to keep for a souvenir, no yardage book and very little yardage markers other than the colors down the center of the fairway, 15 fairway is mismarked and 18 doesn't have a tee box marker to reference yardage. HOWEVER, other than the score card everything else is easily overcome and doesn't really affect play too much. NOTE: The fence around the driving range is down and looking for a ball down the left side becomes a little frustrating, plus those that can't read and hit D/3W on the practice tee when advised not to can easily hit into the fairway around the 100 yd marker so be carefull!!

Forgot to say the greens were punched as advertised here and are shaping up nicely, though they are still a couple of weeks away from being back to normal and are EXTREMELY S L O W!

Played 4/21, walked on 0630 first to tee off, finished right at 3 hours. This course rewards those that can hit the fairway off the tee and punishes those that can't. The starter even tells you not to worry about distance on the first two holes and focus on hitting the fairway. The fairways are NARROW and the greens SMALL and par is an excellent score for any hole. Play the blues, regardless of index as the course doesn't really play that long, a lot of elevation change so yardage is not in a straight line. Beware of #13, short par 3 over the cart path, the markers were set at the very front of the tee box and made it a VERY short hole and easy to fly. Several holes run next to each other and wayward drives become a hazard, especially 10 and 11 and the approach to 14 with drives from 15. If you live in San Diego and plan to play there often, buy the Residence card for $25 and play for $8 less every round, good at Torrey Pines, too.

Played 4/26, walked on (at) 1045 teed off 1115. Course was WIDE open with two-somes and three-somes with the occsional single. Didn't have to wait on anyone ahead and wasn't pushed by anyone behind. The course is in very nice condition with a couple of spots needing attention (11th and 14th greens have bare spots), but nothing that affects play seriously, with exception to the perrenial water hole at the beginning of the 10th fairway. Greens were extremely nice if a little firm as I had trouble getting the ball to stay on the green on my approach shots. For $11, walking, this is a very nice course to bring the driving range ideas into use.
