About this course
Northwood Golf Club is a 9-hole, par-36 public golf course in Monte Rio, California, along the Russian River. It was designed by Alister MacKenzie with Robert Hunter and opened in 1928, commissioned so members of the nearby Bohemian Grove would have a place to play during summer gatherings. The Monte Rio course plays through towering redwoods on roughly 70 wooded acres, with narrow, tree-lined fairways and small, naturally contoured greens typical of MacKenzie's work. It is considered MacKenzie's only nine-hole design built in the United States, completed the same year as Cypress Point and five years before Augusta National.
