Mendakota Country Club: Mendakota

Had a great time last night at the Soldiers6 gala. Staff was friendly, attentive, took great care of us. Highly recommend this venue for your special event!

I like thank Nate Musta for getting me and my wife out on the golf course yesterday. It was our anniversary weekend and my last round of golf for the season. First time I golfed here and it was truly a players course. Mendakota Country Club is one of the best kept secrets in Twin Cities. The staff friendly from the minute I arrived there and the time I left. Thanks again ⛳️🏌🏿‍♂️. Greg

The Mendakota Country Club is a beautiful venue and we had the vision for how beautiful the course would be in the early fall for our wedding when we toured in the dead of winter!! Our photos throughout the day in multiple locations throughout the venue are stunning with beautiful greenery and waterfronts. MCC checked every box for what we looked for in a venue, including (but not limited to): the opportunity for an outdoor ceremony and flexibility in having both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the event including cocktail hour, onsite getting ready spaces, onsite catering with a variety of dinner options and a cohesive, one-level space (helpful and easy for family members with physical mobility issues) Adena was very responsive and by the end of our year and a half engagement, had responded to 200 emails, discussing details and answering questions for our big day! Jessica and Adena in partnership with our Day of Coordinator were able to manage many moving pieces and make our big day come together beautifully, and the waitstaff and barstaff were wonderful to work with. While we had a good experience overall with MCC, there were two day-of notes that did detract from our Big Day: We were told that the staff will “stop golfers” from teeing off at certain holes during the ceremony, however we had numerous golfers walk right behind our officiant during the ceremony and even one golfer approximately 15 feet from us saying our vows yelling to someone in the parking lot. While we understand it is a country club/golf course first and foremost, MCC charges couples a $1,200 onsite ceremony fee that should come with the expectations of no members on the first few holes of the course during the ceremony. During the reception, the temperature was not well maintained and by the time the dance floor was fully opened, all guests were profusely sweating. While there were industrial fans to help keep the room cool, it was not as effective as we would have liked, especially during an unseasonably warm day in mid-September.

Nice experience in Mendota Heights. Beautiful grounds. Beautiful building. Clean. Big! Staff was friendly and helpful. Love the history. Loved the huge trees. Greens were pretty. I didn’t golf but attended an event. Took a golf cart ride through the course. And it was BIG. Interesting fact that this is member owned. Hope to come back again some day.

Working with Mendakota is an absolute joy when it comes to weddings. The venue's attention to detail and Adena's excellent coordination skills ensure that everything runs smoothly. It's a delightful experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect setting.
