Lake Sherwood is the Conejo Valley's marquee luxury enclave - a private lake, a Jack Nicklaus golf course, and guard-gated estates tucked into the Santa Monica Mountains.
Sherwood Country Club
Sherwood Country Club is a private, member-owned golf and country club whose championship 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature course opened on October 30, 1989. The club has hosted nationally televised events over the years (the Shark Shootout, Tiger Woods' World Challenge, and the 2020 Zozo Championship, among others). The surrounding community is guard-gated, and the area takes its name from being used as the filming location for Sherwood Forest in the 1922 Douglas Fairbanks film Robin Hood.
Lake Sherwood
Lake Sherwood is a private lake (originally Potrero Lake, built in the early 1900s) at the heart of an unincorporated community of roughly 660 homes - a mix of the guard-gated golf-club community, additional electronic-gated communities, and lake-view homes along Lake Sherwood Drive. The 2020 census recorded a population of about 1,759.
Schools
Per the U.S. Census school-district reference map for Ventura County, the Lake Sherwood area is served by the Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) - students attend Westlake Elementary, Colina Middle School, and Westlake High School. (Some local sources mistakenly list Las Virgenes USD; the census-backed district is CVUSD.) Confirm the exact attendance area for a specific address with CVUSD.
The market
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 91361 ZIP median sale price | ~$1.6M (broader than the gated enclave) | Redfin, Apr 2026 |
| Sherwood Country Club / gated estates | Commonly list in the multi-millions | Redfin (current listings) |
The 91361 ZIP spans more than the gated community, so it understates Country Club pricing; estates inside the gates routinely list several times higher. For a private valuation or an off-market introduction, contact me directly.
