Northwood Golf Club
Monte Rio, CA • Public
Overview
If Augusta National and Cypress Point are the most exclusive Alister MacKenzie designs, Northwood Golf Club, a couple hours north of San Francisco, is the most accessible. The short unassuming nine-holer has rates as low as $25, and juniors can play for under $15. The course plays among towering redwoods that closely hug the fairways, giving the track an imposing yet serene feel. For the setting alone, the course is a must-play, but small, sloped greens tucked between prominent bunkering give the design a uniquely MacKenzie feel.

Review
“This place is incredible! It's a little bit of a journey to get there from San Francisco or the Napa Valley, but that adds to the adventure. It's a sleepy little town and the course is like no other I've ever played. The hole designs, while great, hardly matter. Playing among the redwoods are amazing and ethereal. The greens and contours are incredible. You can clearly tell the MacKenzie influence."
