From the reviews
When the weather is nice this is a beautiful option for a wedding venue. Our friends just had a wedding ceremony on the beach and reception that was both outside and partially inside. It happened to work out great and was an excellent location.

Very nice place for a private event. I'm not a member, but have been to a couple events.

Getting married at The Clifton 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.
