South Hills Country Club

Wow! I really don’t know how to sum up just how beautiful my wedding was at South Hills Country Club! My parents have been members since I was a little girl and I always dreamed o my wedding being here, it didn’t disappoint. Everything was perfect! Candice was amazing, as usual! She helped me through everything. If i had a seating problem she would tell me not to worry about it and would complete handle it for me! She set up a bridal brunch for the day before the wedding with all of my girl family coming in from out of town, it was perfect and so relaxing! The ceremony set up was gorgeous, better than I thought it could be. She had all the guest seated by the time I wanted to walk down the aisle and there was absolutely no delays at all! The reception was my favorite part! The food was amazing and warm when brought out to all my 200 guests. On that note the room did not feel full at all with that many in attendance. We had an open bar and everyone loved all of the alcohol choices and the bar tenders are fantastic! The cake that is provided with my wedding package was so good and beautiful. My father requested an ice cream bar and of course Candice made that happen too! Everyone loved it, it was a huge hit! The room was completely transformed. Everything flowed beautifully and so much of why it did was because of the work Candice and the team at SHCC puts in.
This is the link to my Wedding Teaser video! It shows the club and reception so beautifully!
I hope if you’re considering a wedding here that this video helps you to sign the contract and have a gorgeous wedding!

Parking: limited, but medium sized lot
The golf course and pool look very nice.
They have a dress code.
The inside of the club… The furniture looks like it tries to be like an old time gentleman’s club where old men like to come and smoke. The rest of it however is pretty nice and they decorate the area (even the bathroom) very nice. I think they could look better with some new furniture.
The reason why I gave a lower rating is because of the service. The first time I had lunch there the waitress messed up all the meat orders. Someone ordered rare and got well done. Not very attentive throughout the meal.
Another time however, there was a guy server who was very friendly and attentive. So I gave them an extra star for him.
Bar: there is a bar inside. I can’t say much about it since I didn’t use it. A coworker of mine said that they are cash bar only. Or $ 10 min if you want to use card. But then she was told you had to give exact change in cash because they claimed to not have any change to give out.

I haven’t been to many country clubs in this lifetime, but man, I had a blast coming here! Sure, the environment is totally catered towards an older age demographic, as they don’t allow cell phone usage inside the dining room — and they even have designated «telephone rooms» if you need to take a call. There’s also a strict dress code that calls for business casual attire at a minimum. Nonetheless, there’s something distinctly charming and very traditional about this place that’s difficult to find anywhere else.
We were invited to come here by our wonderful friends, who are members. They treated us out to dinner at the dining restaurant, which is apparently for members only. Right away, the exclusive nature of the club makes you feel extra special! We were seated almost right away at a nice table with elegant place settings. The high ceilings and quiet chatter made for a really peaceful experience, as we were actually able to hear each another comfortably all night, which is definitely a drastic change from your typical boisterous restaurant. The staff was amazing and checked up on us at least every 5 – 10 minutes throughout the entire evening. You could tell they were genuinely committed to ensuring we had a wonderful experience, which we really appreciated.
The menu here is very straightforward and basically consists of all the classic dishes you would expect from a place with old world charm. They have soup, salads, pasta, risotto, fish, chicken, veal chops, burgers, club sandwiches, and steak. Per our friends’ recommendations, my husband and I both ordered the 12oz ribeye steaks. I had mine with the creamy bernaise sauce, which was extra buttery. The steak was cooked to perfection with a nice crispy edge and came well-​seasoned with freshly cracked black pepper. For my sides, I tried the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, which were both good as expected, since both are difficult to really mess up.
I also had a Caesar salad to start, which I thought was just okay — the anchovy flavor overdominated the lettuce, so it was really difficult to taste the dressing or parmesan cheese. We tried the banh mi pork belly sliders as a starter, but the portion size was extremely small. The dish literally came with two little sliders and a mound of shoestring fries. The pork belly was nice and fatty, and went very well with the soft mini brioche buns. The bread basket was just your standard assortment of bread, although it featured a rustic bread with sweet cranberries, which was interesting.
For dessert, they brought out the dessert tray you see on TV, which was exciting! After evaluating the six choices that were presented to us (cappuccino cake, chocolate mousse cake, coconut cream cheesecake, tres leches cake, etc.), my hubby and I ended up sharing the carrot cake. The cake was rather dry and the amount of frosting was excessive. I probably would recommend skipping the dessert over anything else. I also ordered a decaf coffee to accompany the cake — and the coffee was lukewarm and very watery.
Overall, I highly recommend sticking to the entrees if you come here! I still really enjoyed the experience, despite the slightly pretentious atmosphere. The food isn’t by any means the greatest, but it’s basically your typical hotel food turned up a notch to fit the quality you would expect from a country club. Nonetheless, this is a fun experience that I believe everyone should try out at least just once — there is truly something to be said about the finer things in life!

Really well maintained and beautiful golf course which is a lot of fun to play on. The golf pro shop has a good selection of products and friendly helpful staff. The dinning room offers a good selection of quality food for lunch and dinner with a terrific view from huge windows over looking the rose garden and golf fairways. Excellent choice for Mother’s Day brunch which annually offers an amazing variety of excellent food.

Don’t bother going. Keep driving and go some place more enjoyable where the members, guests and employees feel proud to be a part of the environment.

I came here for a wedding and all I could say is that this place oozes extravagance. My goodness, from the moment we arrived, they had staff waiting along the entrance to point us in the right direction to go for the ceremony. Parking was not hard to find since there seemed to be plenty of it.
The facilities were really clean and nice. For the outside ceremony, everything was beautifully set up with the perfectly laid rose petals on the aisles to the bar area situated near the patio area. My husband and I decided to take a walk out onto the greens and a staff member politely asked if I was wearing heels because he didn’t want the grass area to get damaged. It seemed like he was trying to be respectful yet also try to adhere to the country club’s rules. The staff working here never seemed stuffy or arrogant here. Instead, they seemed pleasant and helpful. A girl broke her wine glass while toasting and the bartender immediately came to the rescue in cleaning up the mess and also replacing her wine glass.
Aside from the fantastic service, the wedding reception was also very nice. The facilities are large enough to hold a decently sized party. The food was also pretty tasty. We ate salad, steak, and cake. Everything was really delicious. The dance floor is a bit small but thats okay. Overall, this place is great if you want to have your wedding here. However, I don’t know how expensive it is to rent this place out…

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at South Hill Country Club and we could not be happier about how it all turned out. Candace Allen assisted us throughout the whole process over the last year and everything fell right into place as planned :) Everything was top notch and really made our special day a memory we’ll cherish forever. If you are looking for a great wedding venue in the San Gabriel Valley area, I highly recommend SHCC. You will not be disappointed!

I went for a dual birthday party event here and was impressed by the staff’s attentiveness and the beauty of the surrounding grounds. Even though the party started at six, the staff let it rage on well into the early hours of the morning.
The food was alright– a chicken wellington– nothing too special about it.
It is clear that the management and staff really care about the patrons. Very lovely evening overall!

My daughter was married here this summer and we were all delighted with the entire experience. Alex assisted me with the food selection and the ceremony set up details. All of the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied.
The club and surroundings photographed beautifully with nice warm light indoors and and vibrant colors outside.
Food was exceptional. Worked with Bill the chef to develop a menu that satisfied the brides taste (culinary school graduate). Presentation and quality was perfection and we had 220 + guests.
Day of the event Jessica and the staff worked very hard to assure all of the set up was correct. The whole evening went off without a hitch.
I was so pleased with the how they handled the wedding planning process that I booked them for her bridal shower and had the same wonderful experience.

We played this course as guests and loved it. It was a great day and we were spread out enough I wasn’t waiting for the next hole. The drinks and food afterwards were great. I loved the staff and service! We will be back soon!

I just got married here in August, 2013. I cannot say enough great things about my experience from beginning to end. Candace Allen is who my family and I worked with the entire time and she was so on top of everything. Every question/​phone call/​email was answered within 24 hours, most of the time within an hour. She was as helpful as possible throughout the entire process and very flexible. We truly felt that the Country Club cared about what we wanted and did everything in their power to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the service. We received detailed information about everything we were being provided that day, and every single thing was done as promised. While the girls and I were preparing in the locker room (which is huge and perfect to get ready in) on the wedding day at 7:30 a.m. (wedding was at 5), at least every hour someone from the food/​bar area came in to check on us to make sure we didn’t need more water, coffee, food etc. The venue was gorgeous! The reception area has huge windows that overlook the golf course and the bar is beautiful. The ceremony was done on the grass near the big fountain that looks out onto the 1^st hole. If I had to do it all over again I would choose this venue 10 times over. As an added bonus, compared to the many other places I looked, the price was right, and the food was great!

Had my daughter’s wedding here. Very nice place but service sucked. Candice started out being very helpful but then became very rude. Our contract was until 11:30 but the bartender manager, who also was awful, ended or party at 11:00. My daughter told him the contract was until 11:30 and he said no and just walked away from her. As much as I loved the facility I will never recommend this place unless they get people in there with people skills. Candice and bar manager must be replaced.

Very Nice Place…

Great Golf club with a very friendly staff. My Kids are enjoying the facilities too ! Very family oriented atmosphere. Golfing is fun with great teaching pros. Food could improve a bit.

Date Played 10÷5÷2012
Practice:
I like how the range is longer than most, but it’s not a great place to hone your game since it starts going uphill at around the 100yd mark. You’ll sometimes hit off the grass portion of the range, but most times off range mats.
No short game area, but the putting green was sizable enough to get in some good rolls before the round.
*Note: I hate that this course requires you to take a golf cart adjacent to the first hole, then across the street and around the corner to find the range (weird layout — but I understand that some courses can’t help it due to land constraints).
Play:
Course was pretty short (6300yd par 72). It was also a bit odd to play Par 37 on the front and Par 35 on the back. There were also ⁶⁄₇ holes (mostly on the back) that rewarded players that like the draw the ball off the tee). I think there were only a ½ holes that reward players who favor a fade off the tee.
The fairways are fair with some dramatic undulations (be prepared to hit off some uneven lies) and the trees are not as penalizing as some other courses.
*Tip: Don’t leave the ball above the hole (especially on the back 9).
The greens were in great shape and rolled true. Some course knowledge would be nice here & there, but it was a rather straight forward course otherwise.
Although the conditions were above average, the layout was short and not very challenging (Slope: 121). As a golf fanatic, I got bored after ¹¹⁄₁₂ holes (not a good sign).
Some people love it, especially the members — I have to say that it wasn’t for me.

I would give this place 3.5 stars if Unilocal let me.
I got married here in 2009. The setting is very pretty and the dining room is a good setup for getting married. The food was good (for a wedding), and there’s lots of easy parking.
However, there were some snafus that prevent me from giving the place top marks. The billing with respect to our vegetarian meals got screwed up, they didn’t give us the rest of our cake after the wedding, and I didn’t think the whole staff was helpful (we found one staffer who was particularly helpful, but the others were braindead).
I think our guests had a great time and they would think of this as a four or five star location (for the price), but if you factor in everything (the back-​end stuff included), it’s 3 – 3.5 stars.

Nice shop, the club is private

okay… i don’t play golf, but i came to this golf course because my friend said it is a nice venue for wedding.
so… i came here…
thinking that this place is pretty close to where my wedding ceremony will be held, and a friend said it’s such a pretty venue… my hope was pretty high.
but when i got there, i met the catering manager (his name is alex), i was dissappointed. sure the place is nice and beautiful, but not superbly beautiful. that’s fine with me, i would have considered this as my wedding venue if the catering manager didn’t act up snobbish to us.
he pretended to be friendly, but he got this smirk on his face that gave me the impression he looked down on me and my fiancé. dunno why… is it because we look pretty young? or because he thought we didn’t have the money?
secondly, when we asked him to give him the estimate for the wedding, he was kinda hesitant. then we asked him to print the estimate so we can compare with other places, he told us, «this printer is really slow to print. are you sure you want me to print?»
ugh… what kind of service is that?
i mean… if you have customer who’s willing to spend at least $ 15K on your business, that’s not how you treat your customer.
me and my fiancé don’t feel appreciated by that guy. oh another thing… he was kinda rushing us too.
as soon as we got out from there, we tore apart the brochure and the «slow to print» estimate sheet.
yea ok you have pretty nice club here, but it’s not worth it to be treated like that. i would never go back there or spend even a penny on that club.
