Simi Valley, CA
Wood Ranch
Four interconnected Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District trails—Wood Ranch, Canyon View, Creekside, and Long Canyon—thread through Wood Ranch, an officially designated City of Simi Valley Specific Plan area tucked into the city's southwest foothills. The private Wood Ranch Golf Club has anchored build-out here since the mid-1980s; its 18-hole course, credited to architect Ted Robinson, comes with a swimming pool, nine lighted tennis courts, and four pickleball courts among membership amenities. Governance splits across several separately incorporated associations rather than one master HOA, including the Wood Ranch Sycamore Canyon Village Association, each overseeing its own tract. Wood Ranch Elementary School, at 455 Circle Knoll Drive, anchors the community's school assignment within Simi Valley Unified School District. Immediately south, a 2002 state conservancy dedication protects up to 969 acres of hillside and canyon open space, and Wood Ranch Shopping Center, anchored by CVS, sits at 501 Country Club Drive.

Frequently asked
Is Wood Ranch in Simi Valley the same as the Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill restaurant chain?
No, they're unrelated beyond sharing a name. The chain operates 18 restaurants across Southern California, including locations in nearby Moorpark and Thousand Oaks, but none in Simi Valley itself, per the chain's own current locations page.
Is Wood Ranch a gated community?
Not confirmed, and not uniformly. Governance is split across several separately incorporated homeowners associations rather than one master association, and no association's own governing documents state gate status for the community. Check directly with the specific sub-association for any address you're considering.
What school does Wood Ranch feed?
Wood Ranch Elementary School, at 455 Circle Knoll Drive, is confirmed in Simi Valley Unified School District's own school directory, with a GreatSchools rating of 6 out of 10 in a July 2026 check. Confirm the address against the district's boundary tool before assuming middle or high school assignment.
Is the Wood Ranch Golf Club open to the public?
No, it's a private club at 301 N. Wood Ranch Parkway. Membership tiers vary by amenity access—a Jr. Olympic pool, nine lighted tennis courts, and four pickleball courts among them—but neither the initiation fee nor ongoing dues show up anywhere on the club's own website.
Are there parks and trails right in the neighborhood?
Yes: four interconnected trails, Wood Ranch, Canyon View, Creekside, and Long Canyon, plus Rancho Madera Community Park, which hosts an annual Snowfest event, and Coyote Hills Park. A large adjacent open-space parcel, confirmed at up to 969 acres in a 2002 state dedication, borders the neighborhood to the south.
Is Wood Ranch at fire risk?
CAL FIRE's GIS layer classifies the golf-club and elementary-school-vicinity points as Very High fire hazard severity zone within an incorporated Local Responsibility Area, confirmed via a live check as of July 2026. This is a mapped regulatory zone, not a property-specific statement, so verify any parcel against the state's own map viewer.
