Oshawa Golf & Curling Club

The club was established in 1906, and its course was designed by Stanley Thompson.

About the venue

The clubhouse has been renovated and includes Thompson’s dining room and Stanley’s Pub. An onsite gazebo is used for ceremonies and photos, and ceremony-only bookings are possible. The club says it can host events from small gatherings to 200 guests. Audio-visual equipment is included in wedding packages.

On EventPlans.ca it is listed as a golf club and banquet hall in Oshawa, at 160 Alexandra Street, Oshawa, ON L1G 2C4.

Event spaces

The venue lists these spaces. Capacities are the venue’s own figures and change with the layout you choose.

• Thompson’s dining room
• Stanley’s Pub
• Onsite gazebo for ceremonies and photos
• Gardens for photos

Capacity

The venue does not publish a single maximum for every room, so ask for the capacity of the specific space in the layout you want: seated dinner, standing reception, theatre or classroom.

A useful rule: a seated dinner at rounds of ten needs about 1 to 1.2 square metres per guest, a standing reception about 0.7, and theatre seating about 0.6, before you add a stage or dance floor. The venue capacity calculator does the arithmetic for your room.

Events it hosts

According to its own event pages, the venue hosts weddings and private social events.

Questions to ask on your site visit

Bring these to your walk-through. Get the answers in writing before you sign.

• Can the ceremony or reception overlap with golfers on the course, and what can guests see from the terrace?
• Is a membership or member sponsor needed to book?
• What is the rain plan for an outdoor ceremony?
• Are photos allowed on the course, and at what times?
• What time does the clubhouse close for private events?
• Is there a minimum guest count on weekends?

Planning entertainment here

Clubhouse dining rooms often have lower ceilings, so plan for floor-level acts: magicians, musicians and caricaturists. A patio can take roaming acts during cocktails.

Send every performer’s technical needs to the venue before you book: floor space, ceiling height, power, sound and changing room.

Getting there

The venue lists free on-site parking. Check the venue website for directions, parking rates and accessible entrances, and send the details to guests with the invitation.
