Golf Waterloo

Golf Waterloo feels like a wedding that gets to have both the green horizon and the grand room, with fairways rolling away from the vows and a clubhouse ready for the long night after.

The club sits on chemin Leclerc in Shefford, about 55 minutes from Montreal, and has been welcoming golfers since 1961 across two 18-hole courses, Le Waterloo and Le Napoléon. After more than 50 years the clubhouse was given a full renovation, and today the club describes itself as a favourite destination for receptions.

Couples can hold the ceremony indoors or outdoors on the course grounds, then move to one of two reception halls designed for 50 to 350 guests, which means the venue works as well for a close family dinner as for a wedding that invites everyone. The kitchen offers several menu choices served at the table or as a buffet, a liquor permit is in place, parking is large and free, and the building is accessible for guests with reduced mobility.

Imagine the processional beginning with the course spread out behind the couple, guests turning in their chairs on the grass, and later the same crowd gathered under one roof for speeches, dinner and dancing. It is the ease of a single address for the whole day, with the landscape doing the decorating.

For couples who want open Eastern Townships air for the vows and a proper hall for the celebration, Golf Waterloo offers a setting that grows with the guest list.
