Baywood Golf & Country Club

Baywood Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course playing 6,411 yards. The layout includes a driving range for practice. The course sits in the cool, foggy climate of Humboldt County, where conditions differ sharply from most California golf.

Located on Buttermilk Lane in Arcata, Baywood operates at a luxury pricing tier and functions as a private country club. It is one of a handful of courses on California’s North Coast, with Beau Pre Golf Club in nearby McKinleyville and Eureka Golf Course among the closest alternatives. The remote setting along the far northern coastline gives it a character distinct from courses further south.
