bushwood

Bushwood is a fictional country club featured prominently in the 1980 comedy film *Caddyshack*. Located in the suburbs of a Midwestern city, Bushwood is depicted as a prestigious and exclusive establishment. The film satirizes the wealthy and often eccentric members who frequent the club, as well as its sometimes hapless staff.

The narrative of *Caddyshack* revolves around the antics of various characters at Bushwood. These include a boorish and wealthy club member, Al Czervik, who clashes with the more conservative and traditional members. The club's caddies, led by the resourceful Danny Noonan, also play a central role, dealing with the demanding and often absurd requests of the clientele. The groundskeeper, Carl Spackler, is obsessed with eliminating a gopher that is wreaking havoc on the golf course, leading to increasingly elaborate and destructive schemes.

Bushwood Country Club itself is portrayed as a symbol of wealth and social status, with its manicured lawns, opulent clubhouse, and demanding membership. The film uses the setting to explore themes of class, privilege, and the absurdity of social pretension. While fictional, Bushwood has become an iconic location in cinematic comedy, representing a particular kind of aspirational, yet often flawed, American institution. The club's name has become synonymous with the film's enduring humor.
