I can only talk about the Easter Egg hunt and the Easter BBQ on the patio. The course is lovely. Lovely flowers, lovely bridge and beautiful views of the course form the club house.  My uncle is a member and invited us to brunch bbq...they had hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken on the patio. And even an Easter Bunny (looked kinda scary).  All the kids seemed to like him though.

We took pictures around the clubhouse and the funnest part was the Easter Egg hunt on the driving range! It was so much fun watching the kiddie run for their eggs and it was nice to have cookies and juice afterwards. All in all, a lovely afternoon.

I recently had my wedding at Friendly Hills Country Club and can not say enough good things. From beginning to end I felt like a princess. The Catering Director was very helpful from our first appointment to the wedding day. Being my first (and hopefully only!) wedding I was as nervous as any first time bride would be and had a million and one worries but the staff put me at ease

The food was excellent (kudos to the chef and crew) my guests were all extremely happy, I keep getting compliments to this day on how wonderful my wedding was. I would recommend Friendly Hills Country Club to anyone who is getting married!

I was here for a wedding yesterday.......open bar!!! WoooooooHooooooo!!! This place is beautiful for a wedding.....but I would never join as a club member......maybe when I turn 99!! and have $15,000 of extra cashiola laying around!! The food was daleecious.....Roast Beef, Garlic Mash Potatoes, Asparagus.......and mucho Drinkies!!!! The staff was cool and courteous.....mucho brown brother. I recommend all pelones(bald headed males) wear your coolest wigs on the drive up..... this will bring your chances of being arrested way down.....I recommend the Rasta look.....Bob Marley lives!!!

I've never actually golfed at Friendly Hills, but the club is surprisingly nice --- though it's an older place with an elderly demographic that's not for me just yet ;) We hosted my grandmother's 80th birthday at the club and found it to be a wonderful location for private events. The staff is excellent and they have lovely outdoor seating parked right on the green with lots of planters of flowers that are a nice touch.

I recommend the Friendly Hills Club for seniors who are looking to meet people with common interests --- everyone here seems "friendly" and they all know one another.

Insider track: Thursday nights are live piano performances playing all the greatest jazz hits from the 30's and 40's :)

So I can actually review a country club because I've been there.

When I was in high school, one of my carpool drivers' dad was a doctor and belonged to this place.  So on Fridays (we had half days every Friday), we sometimes went to the restaurant here.  I have no idea why a junior in high school would want to take two annoying freshmen to a country-club restaurant, but he just did.  (It's funny, because I always thought he didn't like me, but now that I think back on it, he was pretty nice to me in his own indirect way.)

The food here was so-so.  I remember expecting a lot from the place and being disappointed.  It was kind of cool to be eating lunch in a country club, and I appreciated the fact that this guy expensed the entire meal to his dad's account--and didn't even make me pay--but I hate the idea of country clubs, so this place gets one star.

The golf course itself, although I've never golfed it, is pretty nice, or at least it's in a nice setting.  It winds through a residential neighborhood that's hilly.

I came here for a wedding.  This country club is pretty nice.  I enjoyed the banquet, too.  I had fish and bf had steak.  Both dishes were delicious.
