Jack Nicklaus, in musing about the land on which the course was crafted ''...Sherwood looks like it has been there for 100 years. It is rare to see a property that is so private, with so much natural beauty.'' The course was designed to blend flawlessly with the surrounding natural landscape and offer a serene ambiance. Nearby, tranquil Lake Sherwood is the oldest man-made lake in California, built in 1904. The two private membership courses and clubhouses are central to the community, offering golf and club memberships with tennis, pickle ball, gym facilities, pools and restaurants.
