Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Wednesday, June 2011 at 10am
What a gem. If you have never played a MacKenzie course or cannot afford them, then you have to try Northwood. The greens are vintage MacKenzie and a gas to play on. There are a few trees...huge and gorgeous Redwoods that add both amazement and challenge. But it's the greens that will have you smiling even when you three-putt. Make two trips around the nine holes. Like most MacKenzie courses you'll see things the second time you missed the first.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area
