I had the wonderful experience hosting my sister's bridal shower at Green Pond Country Club! The prices were reasonable, the event coordinator (Shawna) was very responsive and helpful with all my questions, and the venue space itself was beautiful (fireplace mantle, lots of room for our 30 guests, and plenty of natural light). I especially recommend Green Pond for anyone planning on hosting brunch or an event in the spring/summertime, since you have the option to open the double doors and let in fresh air.
The staff that worked the event were absolutely lovely and helpful as well. The only thing I would recommend is a way to connect a phone to bluetooth so music can be played in the venue, but this may be to keep down noise if other events are happening at the same time (although we had the whole venue to ourselves). Highly recommend!

Had a memorial luncheon at Green Pond on Saturday April 30TH. Shawna was fantastic as everything was done exactly as she said it would be. Service and food were excellent. Place was exceptionally clean. The pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend You check out Green Pond. When looking for a venue to have your party, wedding, memorial or any other function

Green Pond Country Club is the absolute best! From the second I spoke to Shawna, the event coordinator, I knew this was the place for our party. She was so helpful, kind and accommodating. Whenever I reached out to her with questions, she answered me right away. She always had a smile and was willing to offer her expertise. The venue is spacious, but they make it feel cozy and private. The food was delicious!
The staff, from the servers to our amazing bartender, made everything about the night perfect! I just can't rave enough about our experience at Green Pond Country Club. I would definitely love to plan another event with them. Thank you!

Just attended a Red Hat Society Roaring 20's Luncheon at Green Pond. Food was excellent. Chicken noodle soup and beef tips were prepared perfectly. The service was on point. I liked that there was a coffee station set up when we arrived. Nice touch.

From the moment I stepped in I was concerned: I asked if I was allowed to walk and was curtly informed it was the same price as a cart. This is silly for two reasons: there is a Cart fee waived for the second of a pair, so why can't it be for walkers? Second reason there shouldn't even be carts. They don't have a ranger enforcing pace and there's a foursome out every 8 minutes.
It took us 5+ hours to do one round, so what's the point of driving? Aside from that, no distance markers on fairways, fairways weren't freshly mowed on a weekend, and some greens had dead zones. Better options for less money locally
