Course Intelligence
Course Character
The course repeatedly asks for precise target selection: water and bunkers frame approaches, while uphill holes and multi-tiered greens make distance control essential. Wood Ranch is an 18-hole private club course with rolling terrain, elevated views over Simi Valley, creeks, ponds, bunkers and sharply contoured greens. A dramatic Ted Robinson design in Simi Valley
Major Risks
Water and narrow targets Several holes bring water into play, including the signature 13th green surrounded by water. Uphill distance The 7th and 14th holes can play materially longer than the card due to elevation and wind. Tiered greens False fronts and multi-level putting surfaces make the correct landing section important.
Blue Tee Strategy
Add for uphill holes and prevailing wind, especially 7 and 14. On hole 13, choose the safest green section before chasing a pin. Favor the correct tier over maximum proximity on multi-level greens. Commit to elevation and hazard-aware targets
