Why Couples Love Sherwood Country Club
Couples are drawn to Sherwood’s exclusivity and polish. As a private, member-owned club, the venue offers a level of privacy and refinement that’s hard to match — a Georgian-style clubhouse with soaring ceilings and ornate ballrooms, a championship Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course that has hosted PGA Tour and Tiger Woods–associated tournaments, and a full-service events team handling catering, bar service, and day-of coordination. Add in oak-studded hills and valley views, and the setting feels equal parts luxurious and unspoiled.
Getting Ready at Sherwood Country Club
The clubhouse’s private rooms and terraces give the wedding party a relaxed, elegant space to get ready before the day begins. Soft morning light across the surrounding fairways and hills makes for quiet, unhurried portraits before guests arrive, and the club’s attentive staff keep the morning running smoothly from hair and makeup through the first look.
Portraits at Sherwood Country Club
Sherwood offers remarkable variety for portraits — the Croquet Lawn and East Terrace are favorites for scenic couple’s portraits, while the clubhouse’s Georgian architecture and landscaped gardens provide elegant, editorial-style backdrops. The real draw, though, is the golf course itself: expansive fairways framed by mountains make for stunning wide shots, especially as the sun drops low over the hills.
Wedding Ceremony
Many couples exchange vows on one of Sherwood’s outdoor ceremony lawns, surrounded by towering oak trees and views of the surrounding hills. These lawns can host up to around 300 guests, and the private, secluded setting keeps the ceremony feeling calm and unhurried despite being less than an hour from Los Angeles.
Wedding Reception
Inside the clubhouse, the Grand Ballroom offers a refined space for dinner and dancing, seating approximately 250 guests, with surrounding terraces and patios available for cocktail hour and flexible event layouts. Sherwood’s in-house catering and event coordination team help the evening move smoothly from toast to last dance.
