That's my first time there. I played a USTA tennis match. It didn't go my way but I enjoyed playing there and liked what I saw. Nice club house with a little pro shop, bar, swimming pool and many tennis courts. I look forward to going back there soon.

I had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at the stunning golf club venue, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. The lush green landscapes provided the most picturesque backdrop, turning every shot into a masterpiece. The courteous staff ensured that everything ran seamlessly, making my job as a wedding photographer so much easier. The blend of elegance and nature at this venue truly allowed me to capture the essence of the couple's special day. From the rolling fairways to the elegant reception space, every corner offered a unique opportunity for breathtaking photos. I couldn't have asked for a better setting to capture the beautiful moments that unfolded throughout the day. If you're searching for a wedding venue that offers both natural beauty and sophistication, this golf club is an exceptional choice. My camera lens and I can't wait to return for more memorable events.

The food truck was not good long wait and they messed up my order up.

I recently visited this venue for a wedding and had a very disappointing experience. Upon arrival, the valet staff, who were casually talking among themselves, told us to park anywhere. However, I noticed that when non-Asian guests arrived shortly after, the staff opened their doors and provided full valet service. Later at the reception, I ordered a drink at the open bar. The white female bartender informed me that after 8 PM, drinks were no longer complimentary, so I paid without issue. However, I then saw her colleague serve a free drink to the white guest behind me, with the male bartender saying, “I’ll start charging after you.” When I asked why I was charged but the guest after me was not, the bartenders ignored my question. This experience felt discriminatory and left me deeply uncomfortable. I came to celebrate a wedding, but unfortunately, the service and treatment I received completely ruined the occasion.

The Huntington Club did an outstanding job for our event on Christian Leadership & Religious Freedom Event on 10/01/2022. Rachel, the Event Sales Manager, answered all questions by phone and email in an extremely timely manner and made planning our event very easy. The staff of the HC kept everything running and moving forward as the event progressed with no issues whatsoever. The Indian food was excellent and was set out and cleared away perfectly according to the timing we had planned. All our guests at the event were so thrilled by the golf club, as it was very beautiful and peaceful with greenery all around the club. Everyone was able to focus on enjoying the moment and it was wonderful. Thanks Huntington Club! Sunny Meagher, ICAA.

Huntington Club is a spectacular club with beautiful views and wonderful places for people to play tennis, pickleball, golf, and a wonderful dining indoor and outdoor meals. The food is excellent and the staff is very nice and is helpful. As a member of the club you make so many friends and everyone is friendly. It’s also great for kids. Look at the photos and you will enjoy every view. The members are from all places: and everyone makes new friends and learn a lot together. The Huntington Club is well run and every day is a great day
