Golf in Lake Wildwood

Lake Wildwood is a private residential community in Nevada County in the Sierra Nevada foothills, northeast of Grass Valley. The community centers on a reservoir and occupies mountainous terrain at roughly 2,200 feet elevation. Nevada County's western foothills include a number of planned residential developments in the foothills, where terrain alternates between ridgelines, creek drainages, and mixed forest. Lake Wildwood operates as a gated community with its own governance structure and residential amenities, drawing residents who seek a foothill setting within a reasonable drive of the Grass Valley-Nevada City commercial area. State Route 49 and local roads connect the community to the county road network. The surrounding forested terrain and reservoir define the immediate geographic context. The community draws a mix of full-time residents and part-time visitors who value the foothill elevation and conifer-woodland surroundings of Nevada County's western foothills.
