If you play golf, you MUST play this course
Northwood Golf Club in Monte Rio, California. Hands-down the best 9-hole course in the country, and I don't care that Golf Digest thinks Sweetens Cove in Tennessee is the best. I played that one, too, and it's not even close. This is one of the most unique courses in the world, situated among the redwoods, and is absolutely breathtaking. An Alister MacKenzie design.
Just played there yesterday for the first time in 25 years after playing it a few times in the '90s. Better than I remembered. The most fun you'll ever have playing golf, too. Bryson DeChambeau recently featured it on his YouTube channel and shot -2. My goal was to match that but alas, I shot +2 (good excuse - I'm a little rusty).

Glad you posted this, Mark...I have played Northwood a number of times while driving up to see
former neighbors now living in the Mendocino area. Hands down the best 9 hole course on earth...Alister MacKenzie never makes mistakes (btw, next time you're in CA get a tee time at Pasatiempo GC in Santa Cruz...another of his courses).
Hope you had a chance to drive along the coast up there...another treat...
I need to stop by Northwood again.
We need more posts like this. Thanks, Mark!
