Sherwood Country Club
About the club
When Jack Nicklaus completed Sherwood Country Club for industrialist David Murdock in the late 1980s, critics immediately compared it to Shadow Creek, which Nicklaus felt was unfair, since his land—a river valley with homesites on high surrounding hills—was far more natural than the barren Vegas desert. But critics were comparing ledger books. They spent lots of money at Sherwood. Several hundred mature oaks were transplanted at an estimated cost of $6 million (over $15 million in today's dollars). The massive boulders edging some fairways were trucked in as well, and the ponds and streams guarding landing areas and greens were manufactured by experts in that business. In the end, it added up to producing one of the best courses money could buy, until the drought of 2014. Nicklaus returned in 2016 to approve agronomic improvements that reduced water use by 25 percent. Sherwood remains a great layout, but is more austere in presentation.

We had the absolute honor of hosting our wedding at Sherwood Country Club, and words can’t fully capture how incredible the entire experience was. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what truly made our day unforgettable was the staff. Every single person went above and beyond to make sure everything was seamless, thoughtful, and perfect from start to finish. A very special thank you to Kendall Newman, who was hands-down the most amazing and wonderful person to work with. Her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. She anticipated our needs before we even thought of them and treated our day with the same care as if it were her own. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the space was and how flawless the event felt. If you are looking for a venue that delivers not only stunning surroundings but also a world-class team, Sherwood Country Club is truly unmatched.

Kendall and Kailee at The Sherwood Country Club were a miracle find when our original venue fell through only 2 months from our wedding date. From the moment we reached out, Kendall was super responsive and quick to send us all the information and schedule a visit for us! The venue itself blew us out of the water with the amazing mountain backdrop, gorgeous lawn and terrace, and classic ballroom! Not to mention their INCREDIBLE FOOD!!! Our guests are still raving about how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!! All the facilities were so well-kept and private for the day of celebration, which we also loved! And the staff was extremely professional, well-organized, and super friendly. I found that their pricing was also very fair and 100% worth your investment. I hope to someday visit the country club again for a vow renewal or anniversary in the future. Thank you Kendall and team for the most beautiful and special wedding!

As a wedding photographer with a background in architectural and landscape photography, I absolutely LOVE shooting weddings here! It's my favorite venue in Ventura County to work at, with regards to the lighting, location, and what the venue overall has to offer. Especially if you are looking for a luxurious, glamorous, and celebrity vibe, Sherwood Country Club should be your go to. I photographed a wedding 3 days ago there and already sent the couple over 100 sneak peeks, so here are some of my favorites :D
