Wedding?? Here's the inside skinny from a 20 year member.
Great for golf, unbeatable for Tennis and racket ball, workout room is big enough but Brookhaven has THE WORST food ever. The golf area grill makes the same sandwiches you get free in county jail but charges $6; the bar is run by teenagers that don't ever even have fresh lemons cut, much less make a decent drink; the cafe above the tennis house is friendly with great service but the food is not great, yet still the best you can find at the whole club; the golf restaurant is always dirty, hideous decoration both in the restaurant and especially the bar upstairs, and the buffet & menu they serve is absolutely awful food... Just horrendous; and for everyone thinking about getting married here.. pay for your own caterer and DO NOT USE BROOKHAVEN for food, even for special events, the food is terrible. If you're super hungry they make edible food but its not "good", the bar tenders in the club area are also awful, beautiful spot to have a wedding but I'd go to Stonebriar if I were you. Brookhaven is better for huge wedding parties, so large you probably need to give your parents some financial relief and not invite so many people; Stonebriar is a Clubcorp club, I'm not a full member but go there a lot and if you want a great place for FANTASTIC pictures, FANTASTIC food, Hotel in the club parking lot, similar in price to Brookhaven, Go see Stonebriar country club in Frisco. Gorgeous place, much better for pictures, guests, and food. Probably cheaper too because if you use Brookhaven, you want to hire your own bartenders and caterer... Which would be too expensive for that crummy clubhouse.
I've been a constant year round member for over 20 years at Brookhaven. Maybe we'll finally get better food if some of you wedding people realize how terrible the food & bar is BEFORE your wedding instead of always after.
