Northwood Golf Club

Worth the drive from downtown San Francisco!! I was this course on Instagram and had to see it for myself. It definitely lived up to my expectations. It was an unreal experience playing amongst the redwoods. The course was in good shape though the greens were tough and the pin positions didn’t help. The guys in the clubhouse were very hospitable. I’d recommend this to anyone traveling to San Francisco.

Played 5/8/25. Really enjoyed the 9 hole round. Played with two fine gentleman, Brian and Steve. Greens were near perfect, fairway very good. Tee boxes good enough. (A little lumpy, in need of a mow, and perhaps some top dressing). Rates are fair. Restaurant excellent. No nine hole club rental rate. A few clubs in dire need of new grips. Faces/grooves totally ignored. The ladies set that was handed to us was a mishmash of men’s and women’s clubs but after a few exchanges we got a reasonable set. Vacation residences line many holes, really pressed to the area of play, so, “the aesthetic” not quite as grand as you’d hope. The course is a must play if you’re in the area.

Truly a little slice of paradise. Tee shots amongst towering redwoods, putts on greens that roll pure, and cold beers and great food to be had. Not to mention how wonderful everybody is - the players, the proshop, the locals. Took 2 years for me to get up here and I'll be back again much sooner than that!
