Unexpected Greens: A New Energy at Willits Golf & Disc Course!
Where open greens, fresh air, and community quietly meet
Just minutes from town, the Brooktrails Golf Course has long been a quiet constant --open skies, redwood lined fairways, and a pace that invites you to slow down. Recently, though, there's been a noticeable shift: a renewed sense of care, welcome and possibility.
The course is now operated by Alex and Kimberly Herron, who have taken on stewardship of both the golf course and the clubhouse's Back 9 Bistro. Their approach feels thoughtful and community-minded--honoring what locals have always loved about this space while gently expanding what it can be. Back 9 Bistro has some delightful surprises in store so stay tuned!
For visitors, this is not just a destination for avid golfers. The course also offers disc golf, casual play, and an easygoing setting that welcomes beginners, couples, and families. Even non-golfers often come simply to walk the grounds, enjoy the scenery, or relax after a morning of exploring the Redwoods or riding the Skunk Train.
It's the kind of place that fits naturally into a Willits stay: a relaxed morning rounds, a spontaneous afternoon stop, or a casual meal surrounded by green space. There's no pressure here --- just room to enjoy being outdoors, at your own pace.
inland Mendocino County has a way of revealing its charm quietly. And places like the Brooktrails Golf Course---familiar, evolving, and deeply connected to the community--offers visitors a chance to experience that charm beyond the expected.
Sometimes the most memorable travel moments come from discovering what the locals love!
We will be working on packages for our guests to enjoy a round, or two....
