No windmills or dinosaurs on this course. It's true putting skills. Many shaded benches to wait on and great sound system throughout playing fun music. Parties of 6 can play so there can be a little wait but who cares, you're playing mini golf. . $15/person. There's a great deck for before or after play relaxing drinks or snacks. The course faces west so it's a beautiful summer evening activity as the sun begins to set.

The tee boxes were absurdly hard, I legitimately struggled to get tees into the ground on some of them. There is a beverage cart. The new putting course should be done by the end of July from what I heard and it looks cool.

I recall only one green and one fairway being a big rough due to dry summer weather. The course is a confidence builder. Nothing to hard. Fairways are wide and forgiving if you happen to hit left or right. Most are straight so few blind shots. Not a lot of water and sand was in fair locations. Not a huge factor. Staff was friendly. I liked that they announced the groupings over the loud speaker to tee off so you knew when you were up. Good experience and price was right.

Words cannot even begin to describe the absolute perfection and joy that having our wedding at…read moreDellwood Country Club brought to my wife and I. The entire staff at Dellwood went above and beyond to make our wedding reception something from a storybook. From initial brainstorming, through detailed planning, and to eventually executing, every single detail was thought through brilliantly. We continue to get comments routinely about how fun and beautiful the weekend was at Dellwood. Dellwood offers a tremendous amount of service to make sure each couple gets exactly what they hope for. Even more, they take care of anything and everything they are tasked with, taking initiative to offer solutions rather than just a list of potential issues. I specifically want to complement Bry, the event coordinator. She is a master of her craft and made our day perfect. When planning a wedding at Dellwood, know you are in the best of hands. The food and drinks were incredible. During the welcome happy hour, champagne and hors d'oeuvres were offered to all the guests while a jazz quartet played. One of the best features was lobster grilled cheeses! For dinner, we served wedge salads followed by a surf-and-turf with filet mignons and crab cakes. The dinner was fantastic- and every guest thoroughly enjoyed it. Late night, we served fair food which featured corn dogs and pizza, etc. to send guests home full! We offered an open bar- several bartenders made sure that no line was ever formed- they moved quickly. The events Dellwood offered us allowed us to have a full-on wedding weekend rather than a single night. On the day prior, we had a lunch buffet at the pool cabanas, giving us the opportunity to welcome guests from out of town. On the morning of, the groomsmen and I all enjoyed a fantastic breakfast on the patio. On the evening of the wedding, we had a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, a lovely surf-n-turf dinner, hours of dancing, and late-night snacks to send everyone home. Fireworks over the course ended the evening perfectly. The event space itself was my favorite. Our wedding took place on a beautiful summer evening in July. With the sun setting over the golf course, the scenes of everyone in their black-tie attire standing on the balcony and on the green grass was picturesque. Guests flowed in and out of the reception dining hall and the outside. The flowers and landscaping at Dellwood in July are beautiful. In the reception hall, there was plenty of room for our 250+ guests, with a full 7-piece band performance with plenty of dancing. What they offer at Dellwood Country Club is truly unmatched. I cannot more highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding. You will never regret it.

Maybe the next time you decide to imbibe on the golf course you will have found a sliver of class. On top of that, what a great example you set for your kids by using the "C" word in front of a lady! You set a great example for your children, who were there watching you pull a really classless display. You have lost my business at ZAPPAS SPORTING GOODS and I hope the business of all my friends too! Maybe Oneka Ridge should re-consider you playing there. #SAYNOTOZAPPAS

DBW gave me the wedding reception of my dreams! Firstly, thank you to Julie and Scott for being so…read moreaccommodating during COVID times. We had to reschedule our wedding from July 2020 to May 2021 because of the pandemic and also my dad getting diagnosed and eventually passing from Stage 4 lung cancer. Obviously I was not in a mood to celebrate and Julie allowed me to postpone our reception (we always planned on getting married at a church) to May vs the fall of 2020 and I'm so grateful that I was allowed that time to get some closure because I had to drastically adjust our reception (it still breaks my heart that I never got my father/daughter dance) and it just allowed me to be in a better place mentally to actual be able to enjoy my day. If you want a beautiful venue and to do very little work to make it even more beautiful, pick DBW. Pay for the upgraded package for their decor rental and you''ll spend an hour picking out pinterest worthy items that have been proven to look good with their set up, and they even do all the work on the big day to stage the items for you. I literally just had to show up and give Julie the seating chart. That was the extent of my decorating. That's it. And it was GORGEOUS. We got so many compliments on the venue! Also, to double up on how little effort I had to really put in planning this reception, DBW's welcome package has a list of all their "preferred" vendors (which is mostly just vendors that have been there before and had a positive experience) and they were all high quality professionals. I went with everyone off their list except for flowers/hair/makeup and have no complaints! We definitely lucked out and had a beautiful day weather wise, which is great because DBW is a big property with a lot of space for guests to mingle outside. Part of the decor package is yard games, so we had cornhole, hammerschlagen, yard golf, various tables/chairs to sit and gather at, a smores bar/fire pit and if you ask nicely and Scott is in town, they'll even do a tractor ride (that you can take booze on!). They also have various horses and dogs (in pens) that are very friendly that guests can interact with. And they are very well behaved. My reception was very casual and whenever the guests that were interested in the dogs came up for pets, there was no jumping or anything. Thankfully we didn't have a very hot day, but we still had the AC on because I was busy busting a move on the dance floor. There's two AC units, but there's one that's directly on the dance floor and you better believe I incorporated dancing in front of it as a move because it was industrial strength and worked so well. The barn doors had to be closed to both keep the noise from the DJ as well as the cool air in but honestly, it was not a factor at all. Honestly, if you work with contracts regularly, DBW isn't really any different. Make sure you read over it and know about the early end time (1030pm roughly, but they want everyone out by 1100pm), the special event insurance, the special insurance if you don't go with their suggested DJ (we went with their recommendation, ZeroGravity/Jeff and he was great, also already has the insurance), the closing of the barn doors while music is on, what alcohol is included in the buyback plan (also just a heads up if you do open bar and you hit your limit that you prepaid for, you can keep a card open and they'll check in with you every $500 to see if you still want to keep it open. Wasn't an issue for us but definitely is considerate since booze adds up fast and some people don't realize once they've been drinking), and things like that. The contract makes it seem like they are sticklers but honestly Julie and Scott were a blast. They even worked super hard to make sure that I had enough space for a Big Buck Hunter game for my reception as well as any other things I had questions or suggestions on. Seriously, they were so easy to work with, cannot recommend DBW enough! Everyone get married here!

Owner makes all the wedding party after ceremony remove items from the suits during wedding. VERY INCONVENIENT. She also stood by and timed us with a watch as we got all our items out of the suits. Like we were criminals. Owner did not allow music to play in reception due to noises being to loud for neighbors. Had to close barn doors later to get music on. What's the point of having a reception with no music??? Owner watched us like hawks and gave our DJ a very hard time. Owner was so rude and yelled at many of the ppl in the wedding including my husband. I will NEVER suggest this place!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. It's a pretty venue but not worth the crap she makes everyone deal with. This bride also was employed by her and she still treated her this way! JUST SHOWS CHARACTER. DJ also mentioned he would never suggest this place to any one. Worst experience he has had ever as a DJ. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, over priced and she's very deceitful.
