About
Overview & Vibe
Mackay Golf Club sits on Mackay-Bucasia Road at Beaconsfield, close to the Northern Beaches, and runs ceremony and reception on the one site.
Setting & Style
Ceremonies happen outdoors on the landscaped grounds against the sunset, with a podium provided and three golf buggies laid on for photographs out on the course. Receptions move into the clubhouse. The Fairways Room is the larger space, indoor surroundings opening onto an outdoor terrace with sweeping views over the course, with its own bar — 250 cocktail or theatre, 120 for a banquet. The Lounge Bar is the intimate alternative, a comfortable room overlooking the grounds for smaller celebrations. There is also a private alfresco lounge and exclusive photography locations around the course.
Ideal For
Couples who want ceremony and reception in one place near the Northern Beaches, with every cost published up front rather than quoted on enquiry.
The Need-to-Knows

- Room hire covers tablecloths and serviettes, lectern and dance floor, stereo background music, microphone, projector and screen, and staff setup and service. Access to the outdoor area for pre-dinner savouries is an extra charge.
