This is a follow up for /v/pizzagate/1794508 (46 upvotes in 7 hours), especially following the comment /v/pizzagate/1794508/8786404 . I shared this as a discussion to enable search results of the related names (having keywords in the post content) instead of posting this as a comment. This relates to pizzagate sharing more info of the location in question, Russian River Golf and Country Club and Hacienda Inn, later called Skippy’s.

Whenevr pedestrian, Skippy's ("Skippy" happens to be nickname of John Podesta) and a private residence are mentioned in the same article, it's worth checking at least. Here's what a historian John McCarthy writes about the location http://www.johnmccarty.org/northwood-golf-course-monte-rio/ A few quotes:

  • features the magic of architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie
  • He was a friend of Bohemian Jack Neville
  • Neville persuaded the Brit to build a nine hole course on the seventy wooded acres across the Russian River from the Bohemian Grove
  • a succession of owners including the Korbel family
  • A pedestrian bridge (remnants of which are still there if you look closely)
  • one of the earliest pro shops of Northwood ( private residence now)

Northwood Golf Course:

In 1960 the Northwood Development Corporation began selling lots. Roads and homes were built, removing some 300 yards from Northwood Golf Course. For example, the No. 1 tee box was originally located some seventy yards further back (no restaurant at the time) while No. 2 was a daunting 440-yard par four. Other local MacKenzie course are the Meadow Club (Fairfax), Claremont Country Club (Oakland), Sharps Park (Pacifica), and Green Hills Country Club (Millbrae). According to the Forestville Historical Society, he also created the Russian River Golf & Country Club (also known as the Cosmo Golf Course and the **Hacienda Golf & Country Club), which at one time was located northwest of the Hacienda Bridge on McPeak Road near the old Skippy’s restaurant . Today, the Schaap and Bale families have restored the course to much of its original magnificence, prompting Golf Magazine to rank Northwood at #3 nationally including both public and private nine hole courses. Our own little gem . Hoorah for us!
