An Executive Chef and pastry team design custom menus for each event, and a dedicated Events Manager guides clients through planning and vendor coordination from first inquiry through event day. The surrounding property — an 18-hole William Langford–designed golf course, six Har-Tru tennis courts, swimming facilities, and both formal and casual dining — gives guests a full club experience as the backdrop for any occasion.
