About

Serving couples throughout Upstate New York, Mohawk Golf Club is a wedding venue located in Schenectady, New York. This historic building is nestled on a beautiful 18-hole Championship course and surrounded by lush 60-year-old oaks and pines. The rural setting provides seclusion and privacy on the big day, while the proximity to Albany offers easy access for out-of-town guests. The country club dates back to 1898, when it was originally incorporated to welcome golf enthusiasts to the region. Over the next several decades, as golf grew more popular in the United States, this facility established itself as a premier destination in the Northeast. Today, its sweeping lawns, Tudor-style facade, and customizable indoor and outdoor locations make this a dream come true for weddings of all styles and sizes.

The Ballroom at Mohawk Golf Club offers soon-to-be-newlyweds a beautiful spot to celebrate their momentous day of love. This banquet hall comfortably seats up to 150 people with a dance floor and boasts newly refinished hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and black iron chandeliers. The ballroom also features a tall stone fireplace that makes for a dramatic and romantic backdrop to exchanges of vows. Adjacent rooms can be tailored to accommodate larger wedding parties, host cocktail hours and dessert bars, and act as get-ready rooms. An intimate dining hall, which has floor-to-ceiling windows that provide sweeping views of the golf course, can also be configured for ceremonies and cocktail hours. In the summer months, an outdoor patio is available for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. This deck comes with scenic sights and a fire pit where guests can roast s’mores and enjoy cocktails late into the night.

Services Offered

My sister was married at MGC in July. Jennifer the events manager was wonderful, adaptable and fun to work with. The event was beautiful - the grounds and view are amazing. Highly recommend the ceremony on the terrace. Remember parasols for your guests because it gets warm in the sun. Event was nicely executed!

Thanks to Jennifer, the Events Manager, we can't say enough positive things about our daughter's wedding held last weekend. Both the wedding and reception for almost 80 people were held at the Mohawk Club. The grounds were magnificent. The guests raved about the food. Accommodations made for 15 children- even a special buffet table for them.We were very uncertain at the beginning about what we wanted, but Jennifer got us through the process in style.

The Mohawk Golf Club was FANTASTIC. The food was some of the best I've ever had, and everybody raved about it. The value was amazing. They allowed us to come in the night before to decorate the rooms. They provided us with changing rooms, ceremony room, cocktail room, and reception hall, and hosted our rehearsal the night before. The service is AWESOME, 5 star all the way, very professional and courteous, gave us anything and everything we needed. It's a gorgeous classic facility. They are very flexible and accommodating. The only complaint we had at all was the lack of responsiveness of our contact there. It could take weeks at a time to get a response for little questions, and when you're a panicky bride worried about changes and details it's very frustrating to have to wait weeks to get a response. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone though, their amazing food and service made it completely worth a little difficulty getting there!

When we first chose MGC for our wedding venue we were absolutely in love with it. The coordinator we planned everything with left 3 months before our date. At that point, everything began to fall apart. We were promised things that never happened or that we had to continuously remind them of. We were supposed to have alcoholic beverages in the rooms we were getting ready in. This was confirmed in an email. The morning of my wedding there was nothing in the rooms. I had to send my sister down to find the coordinator. He argued with her and said he never said they would provide beverages. She had to show him his own email! We were made to feel like things were not under control at all. To make matters worse, several of our items were lost after the wedding and my emails are no longer being returned. The staff also began to clean up 15 minutes before our reception was to be over. Four months ago we would be raving about this place. Now- we wouldn't reccomend it to our worst enemy. Do yourselves a favor and look elsewhere.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
