We had my bridal shower here yesterday and everything went perfect! Ryan is an excellent coordinator. The planning process went so smoothly, she is fast and efficient with communication and answered any and all questions I had promptly! The day of, she checked on us to make sure everything was going well. The servers were on top of things and extremely helpful! The venue itself is so clean and beautiful it truly made my shower feel like it was my wedding day. I would recommend this place over and over again :)

I ordered a New York strip steak medium rare which was served medium rare. A friend also ordered a New York strip steak medium rare and got it well done. The temperature of the steaks served were room temperature which was an issue. The steaks had lots of gristle. They were served with 1 tablespoon of mashed potatoes and 3 green beans. Portions of these 2 sides was tiny. We were here for a dinner reception. Servers roaming the room had chicken on skewers that were cold, dry and overcooked. The food was disappointing. The bar and drinks served were fantastic. My rating would be lower due to poo…

A friend and I had a delicious lunch as we appreciated the beautiful view, rich with autumn color. I had the Granny Apple Chicken Salad and couldn't resist an order of sweet potato fries. My friend had the fish fry. We both had the chocolate decadent cake. ALL DELICIOUS. Our server, Luke, was so efficient and especially friendly. Two women at the table next to us agreed -- he added a special touch to our dining experience. We'll be back.

We celebrated our daughter’s wedding on 9/28/25. It was a wonderful day. Our wedding coordinator Ryan was so easy to work with and made the whole experience wonderful. The entire staff was great too. Delicious food too. Highly recommended for your special occasion. Thank you Shadow Lake.

They made the wrong menu. i didn’t notice on the invoice it said breakfast buffet vs brunch. So for $71/pp, we had omelettes with unlimited mimosa. Ryan was unprofessional about handling my request for 10% discount. This was a completely different menu- no chicken , salad , or pasta and only $5 less per person. And very importantly they need to CLEAN, the chairs, the bathroom sink, the pictures on the walls, and coffee carafes and signs.

We had our wedding in the clubhouse at Shadow Lake in November 2019. Let me just start out with it’s absolutely gorgeous here! We checked out the venue before it was even done with renovations and Ryan not only sold us on the place but on herself as coordinator. The food and drinks were excellent, and with all our family and friends, the size of the bar area was really great! We were overwhelmingly impressed with the entire staff. They were really attentive, helped us with any anything and did good setting everything up for us. Bonus was the discounts for the November ceremony and reception, b…

I went there to buy a gift card for my brother -in-law for his 75 th Birthday. I don't play golf, but what a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. I felt total calm while I was there.

An amazing venue for a wedding! We got married here in October and couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience! The whole team was amazing, everyone loved the food and service. We appreciated Ryan working with us with any questions along the way and also helping us on wedding day, always ensuring we had everything we needed. Shoutout to Ryan, Ivana and PJ!! Always willing to help us with anything and making the day run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about anything besides enjoying our wedding day!! Also, It was so convenient being able to store our decor there a couple days before the wed…

We had our wedding at Shadow Lake last week and were blown away by the support and assistance from the whole staff. Our coordinator, Ryan, went above and beyond to make our day perfect! The whole process start to finish was smooth and easy, thanks to her! We cannot wait to go back and visit for dinner! Would highly recommend this beautiful venue, and staff, to anyone and everyone!!

In for lunch, friendly staff. The food was ok, but we really expected it to be better tasting and quality for the price and location. Pictured are the chicken poblano wrap and the california reuben- both were somewhat bland and disappointing. French fries were good, sweet potato fries were a little burned but still good. Our server was very friendly, but didn't anticipate our needs as well as would be expected (ie plates for appetizers, refilling water glasses). All in all not the worst lunch

Our daughter was married at Shadow Lake in July 2025 with an outdoor ceremony and clubhouse reception. We were very happy with the entire day. The wedding coordinator (Ryan) was so easy to work with from our first visit. She was attentive to every detail in the planning meetings and on the day of the wedding. The staff was friendly and equally attentive. Most of our guests were from out of town and had never been to Shadow Lake. We received compliments throughout the day about the beautiful venue, the delicious food and the great service. We wholeheartedly would recommend Shadow Lake to any co…
