Forest Golf Club & Inn

Some weddings feel best when everyone can stay. At Forest Golf Club & Inn, the fairways, the banquet hall and the hotel rooms are all part of the same property.

The club is located in Forest, in Lambton Shores, a short drive from London and just minutes from the beaches and parks of southern Lake Huron. It offers a private club feel, with a clubhouse and banquet facilities set against the backdrop of a 27-hole golf course.

Ceremonies can take place outdoors at the Island Green or the Bell Tower, each with room for up to approximately 200 guests outside, and both options include rental of the Banquet Hall, which seats up to about 150 inside.

Inside, the Banquet Hall seats up to approximately 150 guests for dinner or around 200 for a reception. For a smaller celebration, the Dining Room seats about 80 for dinner or around 130 for a reception.

A professional events manager helps guide the planning, and the chef works with couples on menu options, from custom-designed menus to all-inclusive plated and buffet packages. The property also has a full-service restaurant and is a licensed facility.

Accommodation is right on site. The 75-room hotel means friends and family travelling in for the wedding can stay steps from the celebration rather than driving home at the end of the night.

Golfers in the group will find an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course, along with a disc golf course, and the inn also has a pool.

A couple might plan a morning round with family, an afternoon ceremony on the green and an evening reception, all without anyone needing to leave the grounds.

For couples who picture a small-town Ontario wedding with golf, good food and guests staying close, Forest Golf Club & Inn offers a celebration that can easily stretch into a weekend.
