I’ve been here as a guest 4 times and It’s very nice inside and out but the staff are ok but stuck up also to become a member its super Pricey gee’s The pools are good for the summer! its A — Ok I must say. The Glencoe Golf and Country club its alright as well the golf there is up to Par. I just feel its to judgmental at both places of how people stare at you some times. Maybe its just me but Ive had that a couple of times when I went. The facility is cool if your that kind of person that has that kind of money and some that are stuck up. There is better cheaper places to go for Recreational uses around town!

This is more of a judgement of their event services, as that is all I have experienced. I recently attended a community business event here in the ballroom. The pictures on their website really done do the space justice. The room was lovely… large but it had a warm, cozy feel to it. To get to the ballroom you have to go up this beautiful curving staircase to the second level which also made the venue seem special(they probably have an elevator for people who need it but I am not sure). The food was very tasty. At this event we just had appetizer type foods. The presentation of the platters was lovely with really high quality ingredients that made even the simplest veggie tray seem more special. My favourite was little roast beef/steak strips with a variety of dipping mustards and sauces. The pieces were slightly too large to eat without a knife and fork though which made it tricky in a cocktail party environment. But the end taste was worth the effort. The servers were quick to clear plates and glasses from tables and did so in a very professional manner(as to not interrupt conversations, get in the way etc). Oh and the bathrooms. So. Nice. I am a sucker for a nice bathroom ad these not only are spotless, but swanky too. Lots of space, high ceilings, nice soap and paper towels… My only two concerns are as follows. The acoustics of the room made our one brief speech period hard to hear unless everyone stopped talking, even with the speaker using a microphone. The other issue was parking. There just wasn’t enough to accommodate regular club members and this event. Many guests ended up on nearby side streets(the neighbours must hate the club sometimes) and I know a few people I talked to were worried they might get tickets or be towed. I don’t think anyone was but it was a cause for concern. This is a nice venue to hold an event, weather it be a wedding or a business event. You likely need to be a member to book the space but if you are, it will likely be a success, based on what i saw.

Great place! They have everything; bowling, swimming, gym, tennis, badminton, curling, a caf, a restaurant, AND a pub! What more could you need? The downside is the price of membership, and the wait time to be accepted as a member, but the price pays for amazing amenities and gets you crazy discounts on classes. They have separate girls’, boys’, ladies’ and men’s locker rooms, all of which have access to lockers, showers with soap and shampoo, towels, the ladies’ and men’s have steam rooms. It’s amazing. And you can eat at the caf and the pub and charge it to your membership card and pay later. The pub has great food, good beer, some TVs for watching mostly sports, and a billiards table. I’ve been lucky enough to have taken fun skating classes as a kid here, jazz dance, a diving program, swimming levels, and tennis. Their fitness class selection is diverse and are top notch; I took a ski conditioning class and got super fit and prepped for ski season. The instructors have always been friendly, helpful and caring, and the staff are great too. It’s a very clean and well kept building that offers«sooo many activities»! Members can bring friends to do some bowling, swimming, book a tennis court, for free! Love this place.
