Avondale Golf Club in Pymble is “quite a hit”
A golf club generally makes an excellent wedding reception venue because they often double as the perfect spot for the location photographs. One such place is Avondale Golf Club in Pymble, just around the corner from Pymble Ladies’ College (PLC), on Sydney’s upper north shore.
Founded in 1926, the stunning white club house with its New England architecture makes a statement all on its own. The countless romantic white rose bushes at the entrance means the driveway becomes a terrific focal point for the bridal party photographs. Add to that the majestic clock tower in the background and your images will definitely look amazing.
Then have the bridal party hop on some golf buggies for a fun, escorted tour of the course. The fairways are surrounded by Australian native bushland creating a wonderfully natural backdrop to your photographs. The wide open expanses of the fairways lead to perfectly manicured greens. And look out for the coloured sandstone amongst the trees to provide an intimately secluded spot for a bride & groom willing to try something different.
Returning to the clubhouse, the green closest to the carpark has a gorgeous Jacaranda tree that produces a bold, purple backdrop when it flowers from October to December. The bunkers around the green also provide opportunities for some fun shots with the newlyweds, especially if the cheeky groom decides to leave his mark in the sand with the words “Just Married”.
Outside the clubhouse everyone can enjoy drinks as they bask in the rays of the setting sun. While inside you’ll find the decor feels quite modern and stylish despite the obvious history of the place. The elegant dining room fits at least 150 guests with a dance floor that will easily accommodate all those eager to burn off their delicious dinner.
What’s more, the service from the staff is friendly and attentive giving you an experience to remember for a lifetime!
