Family, Friendship, and Fun on the Course... Carl Nahigian MEMBER

Woodbridge has always been a place where generations come together, and for Carl Nahigian, golf at the Club is both a passion and a family tradition. Introduced to Woodbridge through his father, Patrick, Carl quickly embraced membership through the Legacy Program— and hasn’t looked back since. Whether it’s early morning rounds, proud tournament moments, or simple time spent with family, Carl has made the Club an important part of his life.

We’re excited to feature Carl in this month’s Member Spotlight.

Q&A with Carl Nahigian

Who’s your favorite person to golf with and why?

My dad, Patrick Nahigian. I always learn something from him that helps me improve my game.

How long have you been a member at Woodbridge?

About two and a half years.

What brought you to the Club originally?

My dad was a member and took me out for a round. When the Legacy Program came up, he encouraged me to join—and I never looked back.

What’s your favorite way to spend time here?

A Sunday morning round with my dad.

Tell us a fun fact most members don’t know about you.

I competed in Division I shot put and was a three-time conference champion.

How do you spend your time outside the Club?

Mostly obsessing over my swing and hitting balls into my net at home.

What’s your go-to post-round meal or drink at the Club?

Either a Water Hazard or the California Chicken Club sandwich.

Any proud moments on the course you’d like to share?

Winning the Tokay this year!

What’s your handicap (or your goal for this season)?

I’m currently at a 5.

What advice would you give a new member?

Learn how to hit it low—or don’t miss the fairways!

Do you have a favorite hole on the course?

Hole 15, because I still haven’t figured out how to play my second shot there.

Who inspires you—on or off the course?

My wife, Lauren. She’s dedicated to CrossFit and to being healthier every day. Plus, she supports my golf obsession.

Do you play other sports or enjoy other hobbies?

No, it’s all golf for me.
