Berkeley Hills Country Club: Pine

Food was excellent when we attended for an office Christmas party. Can't really co..ent on the other aspect of the club as we had no access as guests.

I attended a lovely wedding reception there. The facility is not new but the staff seemed nice, professional, and organized. The food was delicious! For the wedding reception I attended, I do wish the dance floor was bigger. Pre-reception, it was nice to gather and mingle on the balcony that overlooked the green, since the weather was nice.

Fun course. It’s in great shape, the greens are true and fast. Got to play a few times while visiting the area with my brother-in-law and his sons. If you get a chance it will test your game. All the people and staff that I met were very friendly. Almost got a hole in one.

When we initially booked this reservation (in March) we had a different events coordinator, Ariel. She was wonderful. A few months later we found out that she as well as two other members of management (aside from the owner) had were let go (in June). We tried numerous times to reach out via phone and email. Nobody answered or returned calls or emails) This is what I guess could be considered the transition time until they hired the new event coordinator, Lindsay. We met her in late July. Lindsay has terrible professional communication! There were a number of times where she didn’t even address me directly when getting matters addressed about my daughter’s wedding. There were a few opportunities where she had the chance to redeem herself but the unprofessionalism continued. One time when we met her, she was in a short, fake brown leather miniskirt! Another time she was dressed in extremely short shorts. Oh, I can’t forget to mention how our contract miraculously disappeared during the transition. Lindsey actually told us that everything was thrown out whenever she took over. She drew up another contract that was much more heftier in price by several thousand dollars. But we were prepared and had the revised latest contract from Ariel in an email. Lindsey tried to say that it was invalid and it could not be honored. Luckily Craig, the new general manager listened to reason and we got it sorted out. Craig was probably the good part about dealing with the Country club. When we had initially booked, we were told that we were allowed to book outside catering as there was extremely expensive. Of course we had already made a deposit by the time we had finally got in touch with the new staff. They made such a big deal. So instead we had to estimate the amount of guests and pay a per person catering fee. That was a waste of money! The staff was less than helpful. It felt like we were getting punished for not using their catering services. The stupid catering fee did not provide us glasses, silverware,- plates or anything! The only thing that they were nice enough to give us was ice. They would not let us store the wedding cake in their kitchen, so we had to figure that out on our own! It needed to remain refrigerated. They tried to slap on a $650 cake cutting fee which of course we said absolutely not! We brought our own nice serving utensils and they miraculously came up missing before we left! We had reserved two rooms: one was for the ceremony, and the other would be for cocktail hour while the photos were taken. Then the room the ceremony was in will be flipped for the reception. We had no help flipping the room. All they did was take the chairs away and roll out a few tables and put table cloths on them. While my daughter got their photos done, me and my husband we’re busy trying to make the room look nice for the guests! Absolutely terrible! If I had to do it all over again, I would most definitely NOT have her wedding there. Everything else about the wedding was great, the catering, our photographer and DJ. The people at Berkeley Hills were not helpful at all! And if Lindsey is still there, I most definitely do not recommend entertaining a huge event there. It’s not worth your aggravation or time!

That was my 1st time there, l went for my friend birthday/retirement party. The club was very nice over looking a beautiful golf course ( my late dad would have love to been on it). It was very spacious, clean and the food was excellent. And a very nice dance floor & the staff was amazing, professional & on point. I definitely would recommend this spot for any occasion.
