Event Testimonials

50th Wedding Anniversary | February 2026

“Feedback…I have no useful constructive criticism as everything was perfect. You walking us through the decision process together with peripheral advices made the whole selection and preparation process absolutely painless. Carson and his team on the night were a delight throughout. Most every guest commented on the high quality of the meal.

Many thanks for all your help on this event. I would recommend the club in a heartbeat. Cheers John”

Souzan & Jordan's 5 Star Wedding Wire Review | October 2025

Above and beyond!!

Joni and the team at UGC truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect!! Throughout the whole experience from our initial inquiry all the way up to even after our wedding ended, they really made us feel so cared for and special. I’m a very type A individual and had a million questions through the entire process and Joni was always so responsive and helpful! From working so seamlessly with our other vendors, to making accommodations as needed, to bringing up things we never would have considered or thought of, Joni really knows what she is doing and is so amazing at what she does!!! UGC is great in that the venue provides tables, chairs, linens, plates, cutlery ect. and this was so important for us as it took so much stress off our hands knowing this was all taken care of including the set up and take down of these items. On top of that, Joni was able to take on and coordinate add ons we wanted such as chair covers and a different colour aisle for the ceremony and the fact that it was such an easy and smooth process made wedding planning that much more fun for us! Joni and the team truly truly went above and beyond what we could’ve asked for and we were in such good hands!!! Booking UGC for our venue was the best decision we made, the staff working our wedding night were so attentive and friendly! The thing I am most grateful for is that UGC has a beautiful garden for outdoor ceremonies – we had a fall wedding on a rainy day and until less than a couple hours from our ceremony start time, there was rain. Joni was so on top of keeping us informed and updated on the rain plan and fortunately had several plans ready to go dependent on weather. Fortunately the rain stopped but it was cutting it so close to our ceremony time yet somehow Joni and her team managed to get everything set up to proceed with our plan A (the garden) which we really did not expect would work out… words cannot express our gratitude for Joni and her entire team for being so attentive, professional, and easy to work with. I would recommend UGC 10000x over to anyone looking for a venue!!

5 Star Wedding Wire Review from Bride Doanna | August 2025

10000% recommend!!

University Golf Club is a beautiful venue. We rented the Salon dining room with access to a stunning patio, which guests enjoyed during cocktail hour or as a quiet spot to chat during the dance party. My husband and I also took advantage of UGC’s gorgeous garden area (which is normally used for wedding ceremonies) for our evening photos. The dining room, patio, and garden were all well maintained.

The pricing at UGC is highly competitive compared to other venues and golf clubs we considered. While some golf clubs had similar pricing, UGC consistently offered better value. For example, UGC’s buffet menu included more food items, whereas other venues sometimes offered fewer options at a similar price point. This made UGC’s offering feel much more generous and well worth the cost.

We primarily worked with Joni, the Event Manager, throughout the planning process. Joni was incredibly prompt with responding to emails—she’s professional, knowledgeable, and always on top of things. You can tell she has a wealth of experience in the industry, so you can rest easy knowing you’re in great hands.

The food was SO GOOD. Our guests are still raving about the steak and mushroom ravioli (even four weeks after the wedding!). The buffet offered such a great selection that many tables went back for seconds. Even our DJ commented on how delicious everything was. The rest of the staff was equally great—professional, attentive, and friendly.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience at UGC. We have zero complaints and would recommend booking your wedding or event here.

Dear Joni, Thank you for a lovely wedding planning experience. Your calm, organized and detailed approach was very much appreciated.

Indigenous Stewardship Fund Save our Salmon Golf Tournament | July 2026

Hi Justin and Finn, 

On behalf of the Indigenous Stewardship Fund team, I want to sincerely thank you and the entire University Golf Club team for helping make the 2026 Save Our Salmon Golf Tournament such an incredible success! 🙂

From the early planning conversations and the email back and fourths, to the day-of execution, your support, professionalism, and willingness to work alongside our team made a TREMENDOUS difference. Hosting a completely sold-out tournament is no small feat, and we truly appreciate the care and attention your team provided to ensure our guests, sponsors, and golfers had such a positive experience.

The course was beautiful, the event flow was seamless, and we received wonderful feedback from attendees throughout the day and continue to do so. The UGC team played an important role in creating an environment where people could come together, build connections, and learn more about ISF’s mission and the importance of Indigenous-led stewardship.

Thank you again for being such valued partners and for helping bring the Save Our Salmon Golf Tournament to life. We are incredibly grateful for your support and look forward to continuing our relationship with University Golf Club for future golf events.

With gratitude and appreciation, 

Sharan + the ISF team
