About this course

Sherwood Country Club, nestled in the rolling hills of Westlake Village, is synonymous with a particular brand of celebrity-infused, Southern California golf. This is a place where Hollywood glitz meets Jack Nicklaus’s exacting design, a course as visually stunning as it is strategically demanding. The Nicklaus design, carved into the Santa Monica Mountains, favors a power fade off the tee, rewarding length without sacrificing accuracy. The verdant fairways contrast sharply with the rugged, natural landscape, creating a dramatic, almost cinematic playing experience. Sherwood hosted the Chevron World Challenge for over a decade, an unofficial PGA Tour event that saw Tiger Woods hoist the trophy here multiple times, further cementing the course's place in the modern golfing consciousness. Beyond the championship pedigree, Sherwood offers a certain West Coast exclusivity. Known for its affluent and often famous membership, the club exudes an atmosphere of relaxed luxury. It's a place where business deals are conducted on the back nine and post-round gatherings are as much a part of the experience as the golf itself. This is the ethos of Sherwood, golf meets entertainment, meets the highest echelons of southern California society.
