Eagles Nest Golf Club

Eagles Nest Golf Club is for couples who want the sweep and romance of a countryside wedding without leaving the Greater Toronto Area behind. Set in Maple, the property opens onto rolling greens, water and long views across the course, creating a wedding setting that can move from an outdoor ceremony beneath the sky to an elegant evening inside.

Couples can exchange vows on the lower patio, where the golf course and pond become part of the scenery and sunset has a habit of arriving at exactly the right moment. If Ontario weather changes the plan, indoor ceremony spaces mean the wedding can continue without losing the sense of occasion.

After the vows, the grounds become somewhere to disappear together for photographs. There are outdoor locations throughout the property, allowing those first married portraits to happen while guests remain nearby enjoying cocktail hour.

Inside, couples can choose between two very different celebrations. The Great Hall can welcome up to 250 guests for a plated dinner or 350 for a cocktail-style reception, giving larger weddings space to truly come alive. For something more intimate, The Nest welcomes up to 60 guests for dinner and includes a glass-enclosed wine cellar and balcony overlooking the 18th green and pond.

There is also a bridal suite for those wonderfully nervous hours before the ceremony, and the property hosts weddings throughout the year. Food is prepared and served with restaurant-style plated service, making dinner feel like an important part of the celebration rather than simply the pause before dancing begins.

And eventually, the carefully planned part of the day gives way to something much less predictable.

The speeches run a little long because someone has one more story to tell. Sunset falls across the course. Jackets disappear from chairs. Someone's grandmother finds the dance floor.

Through the windows and beyond the terrace, the golf course grows quiet while inside the Great Hall, the wedding is anything but.

For one evening, Eagles Nest stops being about fairways and greens. It becomes the place where everyone you love gathered to watch the two of you begin something much bigger.
