    Serene and beautiful, rolling terrain, winding trails and graceful woods. The perfect backdrop for a wedding and reception. Point O' Woods is a full-service private country club located minutes away from St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, Michigan; and the Lake Michigan shoreline.

    Welcome your guests with our intimate clubhouse atmosphere, or dazzle them with an incredible outdoor affair overlooking our world renowned golf course. The main dining room overlooks Point O' Woods signature #9 hole. It is a beautifully appointed room that, like the classic little black dress, can be "accessorized" to look either elegantly formal or relaxed and casual.

    Our four-star dining room is overseen by our certified executive chef, Mark Smith. He has created a set of menus for wedding receptions that are built for convenience, or it would be our pleasure to design a "customized menu" just for your event.

    As a way of saying "Thank you" for choosing Point O'Woods as your wedding reception venue, we will issue a dining membership to the bride and groom compliments of Point O'Woods Golf & Country Club*.

    *All Point O'Woods memberships must be approved by the Board of Directors. In the event a complimentary membership is not approved by the Board of Directors, Point O'Woods will refund the equivalent value of the complimentary membership to the party that paid for the wedding.
