Northwood sits on an elevated site with arresting views of Lake Superior. Built in 1921, the steep terrain was baffling to route and challenging to build on in the era before most construction jobs used modern earth-moving equipment. Ross solved the puzzle by layering the holes up and down the slopes like switchback roads, forcing him to do things he ordinarily wouldn’t. The third hole climbs some 100 feet from tee to green, while the 10th plays across the pitched hill. Keeping the tee ball in the fairway is, at best, awkward. The greens do not have much interior contour, but the tilted surfaces require expert surveying skills. In recent years, some judicious tree clearing and a change in maintenance have resulted in firm and fast playing surfaces.
