Wedding Event Guidelines & Information

The Ceremony

If an outdoor Wedding Ceremony is what you've always dreamed of, we offer two lovely options.  Exchange your vows on the beautifully landscaped Clubhouse Terrace overlooking the golf course that was carved out of the forest, or you may choose to experience the lush, green teeing area of our First Hole.  Landscaped with flowering trees, colorful flowers, shrubs, native grasses, and brick pathways, you and your guests will experience nature at its finest.  The First Tee option is available in the afternoon only after 4:00 p.m.
