Sherwood Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play a round at Sherwood Country Club if I'm not a member?

Getting on Sherwood is an exclusive affair; you'll need a direct invitation from a member. This isn't a course where you can just book a tee time, so start networking or make friends with someone already in the club. If you do get the chance, expect top-tier service and a meticulously maintained course.

What makes Sherwood's Jack Nicklaus design stand out, and what kind of challenge should I expect?

Nicklaus really made his mark here, crafting a course that demands precision and strategic thinking, especially around the greens. You'll find elevation changes and water features that keep you honest, so bring your A-game and be ready to think your way around. It's a true test of golf, but incredibly rewarding.

When is the best time of year to play Sherwood Country Club, considering the Southern California climate?

Southern California is pretty forgiving, but we recommend aiming for spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) for ideal conditions. You'll get pleasant temperatures and less chance of the summer heat or winter rain, ensuring the course is at its absolute best. The greens will be fast and true.

Are there any specific holes at Sherwood Country Club that I should really look forward to playing?

Absolutely, keep an eye out for the par-3 17th - it's a beauty over water that can make or break your round. The par-5 16th is another standout, offering a risk-reward opportunity if you're feeling bold enough to go for the green in two. These holes truly capture the essence of Sherwood's design.

Beyond the golf, what's the overall atmosphere like at Sherwood Country Club?

Sherwood exudes an understated elegance; it's luxurious without being ostentatious. You'll experience impeccable service from the moment you arrive, and the clubhouse facilities are top-notch, perfect for a post-round meal or drink. It feels like a private oasis, a true escape from the everyday.
