Indian Wells Golf Club

Some settings do half the work before a single decoration goes up. At Mount Nemo Golf Club, the cliffs of Mount Nemo rise above the fairways, and the course itself becomes the backdrop.

Mount Nemo Golf Club sits in Burlington. Founded in 1973, it is an 18-hole championship layout of rolling terrain, tree-lined fairways and ponds, with views that reach as far as the Toronto skyline from the 11th tee.

Celebrations centre on the club's remodelled banquet facility, which looks out over the surrounding course. A large wrap-around deck overlooks the 18th hole, giving guests somewhere to step outside with a drink as the evening settles in.

The room is described by the club as suited to anything from a small gathering of around 30 friends to a large group of about 150. A fully stocked bar and a permanent dance floor mean the party has a place to go once dinner is done.

Food comes from a full-service professional catering staff, with semi-formal to formal dining packages. The club also offers a dramatic sunset staging with the course as a backdrop, a lovely moment for photographs.

Planners are available to help with the details, and the team works with a range of services and partners to keep the day running smoothly. Couples can request a customized quote directly from the catering office.

The dining room is also used for tournament dinners, Christmas parties and other special events, so the club is well practised at hosting groups of every size.

For couples who picture escarpment views, a wrap-around deck and a relaxed golf-club reception close to home, Mount Nemo Golf Club offers a setting shaped by the landscape around it.
