From the reviews
We have been Members for 21 years and always have the most amazing parties and functions thanks to PO having the best Staff and Management!! Their Professionalism and hospitality are wonderful!! Pine Orchard never disappoints us!!
Held our wedding reception at the club, and we had an excellent experience. Chris and his team really took care of everything. We got lots of compliments on the food and service.
Jen Drumm - THANK YOU!!!! Not only is Jen savvy and professional in our wedding industry, but she's kind and genuinely cares. Thank you, Jen, for going above and beyond (truly) for Lindsey & Ben's wedding.
We just wanted to express our gratitude to Jen, Assistant Manager, in coordinating our daughter’s bridal shower. Jen was open and flexible and always quick to respond to questions and emails. On the day of the event, her pleasant disposition set the tone for a wonderful event and memory.
Getting married at Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
