Hawk Ridge Golf Club

I've golfed here countless times as I live nearby so I know the property well.  Hawk Ridge Golf Club is a more traditional option with large indoor reception facility where they can accommodate up to 300 guests - not that you would want to, but you could. 

Since it's a golf club there's no shortage of beautiful, manicured lawns and trees. The facilities also have indoor and outdoor ceremony options, executive boardroom for your bridal party and outdoor waterfall to gather around for cocktails.

Hawk Ridge is located just off Hwy 11 so it's easily accessible for you and your guests.  It's also just down the road from the new location for the famous Cavana Spa.
