Barona Creek Golf Club

Ramona, CA · 6.7 mi away

San Vicente sits in the hills of Ramona, about 40 minutes inland from San Diego, on a wooded property surrounded by a residential community. Ted Robinson designed the course, which opened in 1972, and it has stayed close to that original routing. The golf is old-fashioned in a good way: tree-lined corridors of mature oaks and pines, elevation change that gives you downhill tee shots and uphill approaches, and water in play on a handful of holes. It is not long, and the challenge is angles and position rather than raw distance. The inland setting means warmer, drier days than the coast and less marine layer. The resort has cottages and villas on site, and the course is set up for guests and daily-fee play, which makes it a straightforward option for a group staying outside the city. Rates and availability come from the resort directly.

Ramona, CA · 7.1 mi away

Mt. Woodson Golf Club is located in Ramona, California, in a rugged, boulder-strewn stretch of northeast San Diego County. The course was designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley and plays as a par-70 layout of about 6,000 yards, with holes carrying names like Ledges, Tree Tops, and The Beach. The target-style design winds through granite outcroppings, oak trees, and small lakes, including a roughly 450-foot wooden bridge connecting two holes. The club is open to the public daily from early morning until sunset, with tee times bookable online and a dress code requiring collared shirts and soft spikes.

El Cajon, CA · 11 mi away

Singing Hills Golf Club sits in the Dehesa Valley near El Cajon, California, and includes 45 holes across three courses, Oak Glen, Pine Glen, and Willow Glen. Cecil Hollingsworth and partners opened the first course, now Oak Glen, on January 26, 1956, with the par-3 Pine Glen following in 1961 and Willow Glen in 1967. A flood in the winter of 1979-80 washed away about 40 acres of the property and damaged 40 of the 54 holes, after which architect Ted Robinson rebuilt all three courses. The club was purchased by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation in 2001 and celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2026.
