Big āthank youā to Joni and the staff at UGC! Our April 2018 wedding was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have chosen a better venue. All of the staff we dealt with were so helpful and friendly. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding such a memorable day!
Joni, the event coordinator at UGC, was so helpful, and she was so organized when we met with her a month and a half before our wedding. She answered every question that we emailed her, and she responded in a timely manner every time. Joni was very accommodating with any requests that we had. We appreciated this very much. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!
In regards to the venue itself: We loved the gazebo, and the beautiful path/walkway down to it, and the bridge. It was a very picturesque and romantic spot to get married. The red carpet was a nice touch as well. The Salons room made for a beautiful reception room. The whole venue was very well kept and maintained. The food and beverage menus were impressive and well priced. It was nice having many meal options to choose from, and the variety of dishes was excellent! The food was excellent! A lot of our guests commented on how good it was. It was really nice to attend their annual tasting event as well.
We canāt say enough good things about UGC, and we will be sure to recommend them to anyone and everyone....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAwful experience yesterday. I booked a 4some and due to COVID Health Restrictions, 1 of our 4 could not join us as they were driving in from an outside health authority. When I checked in, I was charged for the full 4some and when asked why, was told that 'UBC charges all cards at 8am and if I knew that the individual wasn't going to be coming, then I should have let them know the day before so they could have backfilled with a single'. I was shocked at this behavior. I could understand if my entire group was bailing on the tee time and they were losing revenue, however 3/4 of us were there and they still charged me the extra $65. They claimed that all courses across the Lower Mainland are doing this which is false. I was at Seymour the day before, same situation and they only charged me for those that showed up. The insistence of the ProShop Staff they were justified in charging me $65 for a 1 person not able to show up was appalling. While I concede I could have called them the night before that 1 our of our 4 would not be showing, it my experience that charging for this issues has never been a concern over my 20 years of golfing. And the use of COVID as an excuse to charge me in advance and not refund me was just greedy. Very disappointing by the staff and policy at...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is a full length golf course on the Ubc university campus on the West End. Itās certainly been a staple of golfing experience in the city for many years. Thereās no plans to remove it at all, and it is a challenging full length course in its own right. Itās a bit like Parkland style course. It wants its way across both sides of the main university entrance. There is a well stocked pro shop and associated restaurant, and the main building is a popular place for events, such as weddings and other large banquets. There is ability to become a member of the course as well which buys you some access to more premium teetimes and bookings, and maybe perhaps some discounts at the pro shop. Thereās an associated driving range, which is great for having it so close to the city. I find that sometimes the greeter or Marshalls on the course for whatever reason are particularly abrasive and this has been over many many visits over the years. Iām not sure why this would be usually there more experienced generation thereās no real need for that with such lovely facilities, such a nice golf course and such a laid-back atmosphere for a public venue. Despite this will continue to come again as itās just too convenient to be located so close to the city for...
