Story #1. It's said that Dr. MacKenzie, at the urging of his freinds, drew up the plans for Northwood on the back of a cocktail napkin while visiting the nearby Bohemian Club summer encampment.

Story#2. Bing Crosby who sang with a big band at the nearby Rio Nido Lodge back in the '40s said "it's the only course he's played where you have to walk single file down the fairways" in reference to the heavily redwood tree lined Northwood Golf Course.
