Sunnybrook, Stonewater, and Watermark are three of the greatest golf facilities to host a reception in the Grand Rapids area. The staff at all three locations are hard working and accomodating to all guests. We have had the pleasure to work at all three locations and recommend them all!
Great reception site to work with. The staff is professional and the place is very elegant for an indoor or outdoor reception.
