Highwood Golf & Country Club is a High River wedding venue with an outdoor wedding area and the Wellman Banquet Room for receptions. Its confirmed official website identifies the property as Highwood Golf, a High River golf and event facility about 30 minutes south of Calgary via Highway 2A.

For couples considering a ceremony-and-reception location on one property, the published information is specific enough to begin a practical conversation: the venue lists outdoor ceremony access, golf-cart guest transport, a reception room with a private patio, and event contacts.

Services and specialization

Highwood Golf & Country Club’s confirmed official wedding material centres on venue space rather than a stand-alone planning service. It advertises an outdoor ceremony area and the Wellman Banquet Room for weddings, meetings and special events. The site also says catering is available for groups of all sizes, both on site and off site.

For a wedding using the Wellman Room, the published rental inclusions are set-up, take-down, linens in a choice of colours, A/V equipment, access to a private bar, and event and logistical planning. The venue also lists a wedding arch, property access for photographs and a quick room flip where needed as part of its wedding reception information.

Venue spaces and wedding flow

The official events page states that the Wellman Banquet Room seats up to 180. It has built-in A/V, a 12-foot drop-down screen, Wi-Fi, a built-in dance floor and access to a private wraparound patio with mountain and fairway views. These are documented venue features, not a guarantee of a particular layout or event format.

For outdoor ceremonies, the published inclusions include access to the wedding area the day before the wedding, personal golf carts for the wedding party, ushers directing guests from the clubhouse to the wedding area, shuttle carts for guests and access to the property for photographs. Couples planning an outdoor ceremony should ask how these items work for their guest count, timing and weather plan.

Service area and who it may suit

The club is located in High River, Alberta, and its official site places it about 30 minutes south of Calgary off Highway 2A. It is therefore a locally based option for couples seeking a High River venue or considering a golf-club setting south of Calgary.

The published spaces suggest a fit for couples who want an outdoor ceremony followed by an indoor reception on the same property, or for those looking at the Wellman Room as a reception-only space. The back portion of the Foxes Den dining room is also presented for intimate gatherings of 6 to 30 people, though the official page does not specifically describe it as a wedding package.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed practical feature is the range of on-property wedding elements listed by the venue: ceremony-area access, photography access, a reception room, a wedding arch, event planning, A/V and a private patio. The Wellman Room’s built-in dance floor may also reduce the need to create a separate dance area within the room.

Important details remain unconfirmed in the public wedding information. The website does not publish a complete food-and-beverage menu or per-person wedding cost, a room diagram, an event-date calendar, minimum spends, deposit terms, bar package choices, decor restrictions, accessibility details or a weather-contingency plan. These are items to confirm directly rather than assumptions about the booking.

Pricing

The official events page publishes an outdoor ceremony fee of $900++ and a Wellman Room wedding reception fee of $1,200++. It states that room rentals are subject to 5% GST and an automatic 18% gratuity, with the listed fees valid until December 31, 2026. SOCAN and RE:SOUND fees may also apply, and the venue asks clients to request details.

Separate non-wedding Wellman Room rental prices are also shown as $500++ for up to five hours or $750++ for an all-day booking; couples should not assume these rates replace the stated wedding reception fee. Current food-and-beverage pricing is not explicitly published. Request a written estimate that separates venue rental, catering, bar service, tax, gratuity and any music-rights fees.

Contact and booking

The official contact page lists the main telephone number as 403-652-3644 and the general email as info@highwoodgolf.com. For events, the events page directs inquiries to Christa, and the contact page identifies Christa Watt as Food, Beverage & Events Manager at cwatt@highwoodgolf.com and extension 225.

The website also notes that the complimentary green-fee wedding perk must be booked through Christa at least one month before the wedding and is subject to course availability. That note does not establish wedding-date availability, so ask whether the preferred date and requested spaces can be held and what written agreement is required.

What couples should confirm

Before committing, confirm whether the outdoor ceremony area and Wellman Room are both available for the same date, the exact hours of access, the room setup, rain or wind backup arrangements, guest transportation logistics and photography access. Ask whether any golf activity affects ceremony timing or property access.

Request the current wedding agreement and an itemized total. It should clarify catering minimums and menus, beverage service, staffing, gratuities, GST, SOCAN and RE:SOUND fees, deposit and cancellation terms, insurance requirements, vendor policies, accessibility and any restrictions on decor, music or load-in. Confirm the current capacity for the layout you want rather than relying only on the published maximum seating figure.
