Played last evening for twilight. Great POP of 3.5H.

Course was prepared in the AM for a large mens club tournament so it was in fine shape even at the end of the day.

Tee boxes clean and playable.

Traps were still playable though some needed some raking.

Fairways lush good lies and rollout.

Greens were all in wonderful shape holding shots, releasing shots and chipping/putting just fine.

Great customer service in the shop and the restaurant is very nice but did not use it this time due to the late hour.

Highly recommended.

Played Course 3 after a layoff of several weeks recovering from a groin strain – no fun there! Went with a neighbor at 3:16 pm on 6/25/26 on a warm, sunny afternoon with not too much wind.

Played Course 3 after a layoff of several weeks recovering from a groin strain – no fun there! Went with a neighbor at 3:16 pm on 6/25/26 on a warm, sunny afternoon with not too much wind. With the beginning of summer the LWV courses are much drier and firmer than usual, with fairways cut tight and rough less long and dense than during the winter, helping with lies and rollout. Greens are fairly firm, releasing well-struck shots slightly and rolling at a medium pace. Tee boxes could use a tighter cut and are a little spongy and uneven. Bunkers are terrible, hard-packed with only a thin dusting of playing layer (if at all). I bounced the club into the ball and chased the resulting rocket on two holes. Pace was OK at just over 2 hours. Looking forward to the planned greenside bunker renovations – they’ve started on Course 1 and will continue for the next few weeks.

Arrowood Golf Course re-opening update: 6/26/2026
The greens, all 18, are still recovering from a disaster spring maintenance. All greens have sandy, bare spots, putting surface like putting over gravel and very bumpy. IMHO, the greens need at least 4-8 weeks more to recover to within 80% of what condition they were prior to spring maintenance. Word from the pro shop, Green... » More

Arrowood Golf Course re-opening update: 6/26/2026

IMHO, the greens need at least 4-8 weeks more to recover to within 80% of what condition they were prior to spring maintenance. Word from the pro shop, GreenSuper, is a defective weed killer was applied, it basically killed the once beautiful po annua/bermuda grass mix...TRAGIC!
Fairways are decent but also recovering. Plus is many bunkers have been redone and are much better sand conditions in the bunkers, greenside and fairway "beach".

Had the pleasure of playing here yesterday with captrichs and an old friend of Sixpez. Paid a great rate of $45 with cart to play.

Had the pleasure of playing here yesterday with captrichs and an old friend of Sixpez. Paid a great rate of $45 with cart to play.

Warm afternoon in Woodland but plenty of water was available all round. Nice snack shop in the middle of the course and nice clean modern bathrooms as well.

Place was busy and POP was 4H and we waited a few times but POP was acceptable for a Friday afternoon.

Course was opened in 1919 with 9 holes added later. And for you pilots there is a small airport with a 3700 foot runway and all facilities adjacent to the course.

Course is an old style parkland course with bermuda fairways and what appears to be bermuda greens. Plenty of trees, bunkers and 1 par 3 with water. Rough is deep and penal.

Great mixture of 3,4,5 holes and various lengths for all players of all skills.

I found the tee boxes to all be excellent and they have B, W, Combo W/G and R to accomodate all players skills.

Fairways were very nice. Clean and mowed giving good lies and great rollout.

As mentioned above rough is deep and takes a good powerful swing to advance the ball.

Traps were a mixed bag. Was in a few and found some to be crusty/hard and others to have good decent sand. And there are plenty of them.

Greens are good size. Some elevated from fairways and some not. They are in good shape, virtually no divots (nice to see) and chipped/putted just fine and with good speed.

Great customer service in the pro shop. Good carts but you need your own GPS.

They have a restaurant on site which we did not visit but it looked very nice.

I would recommend this course with no hesitation. Yes it is private but I think if you called the course you might not have any issues getting on. It's not your "stuffy" private course by any means. From those that I saw playing and manner of dress it looks pretty laid back.

It took eleven long years but finally made the trek back out to Santa Clarita to try my luck at Sand Canyon (formerly Robinson Ranch) again, and boy did I need as much as I could get out there.

It took eleven long years but finally made the trek back out to Santa Clarita to try my luck at Sand Canyon (formerly Robinson Ranch) again, and boy did I need as much as I could get out there.

This is not a course for the faint of heart. It's relentless and never lets you take a breath. There are elevations, crazy design angles and lines, desert chaparral mayhem around every corner, uncomfortable sightlines, and to top it off there are three nines offering all of this. My buddy and I played from the blue tees and did the Valley/Desert routing with a cart. It's a big challenge if you're not sharp off the tee or on approach.

Course conditions are far better than expected at this time of year and in that dusted out area of northern Los Angeles county. There is a lot of green in the fairways and rough, with the occasional dry spot but lots of danger areas between tee box and fairway to find trouble. A lot of the tee boxes were a bit slanted with the landscape, but they were in good shape. I only hit out of one bunker (greenside on hole 8 Valley) and it was very nice.

But the best part? The greens and the green complexes. Really fun, really nice rolls and a good mixture of massive and not-so-massive to really make you plan your approaches. Speeds weren't super fast at all but they were very consistent from hole to hole and simply a joy to play. Worth coming back just for the greens.

Driving range looks like a synthetic football field from the Pacific Northwest, but it gets the job done. Customer service folks were nice, as was the one cart girl we met up with on the front nine. Pace of play? Epic - we were done on a fairly quiet day out there in just under four hours. That was great.

Now that I've moved away from the South Bay and more up into the Los Angeles area, I finally realized that an afternoon tee time here with no traffic only takes about 40-45 minutes to get there, so I think that I will be not waiting another decade before I take on the super fun challenge of Sand Canyon again.
