I went there for an awards ceremony, hosted by my firm Berkshire Hathaway, and the service was exemplary. And the food was excellent! It was just a wonderful event at this venue. This was the view from the banquet room.

This review is dated for 10-30-2020. Magnificent private Golf course. This course is 6400 yards from the back tee's and is really fun to play. Lots of elevation changes on each hole. Greens were fantastic on rolled very well. The scenery and layout were absolutely beautiful.

Very beautiful private golf course but not easy to play at all. Dynamic elevation changes and fast rolling speed and protecting many bunkers around the green.

There's only one par 5 on each 9, but the course protects itself quite well with a plethora of bunkers, very quick greens, and at least 4 greens that are tiered and penal if you approach on the wrong level. Very interesting layout, very scenic course, and a very complete facility.

Having a social membership at FHCC has been a great experience. The food is great! The view from the terrace looking out to the 1st and 18th hole is amazing! Staff is very friendly and the tennis courts, pool, and gym are great. As a real estate agent in Whittier CA I always share the benefits of the club with new residents for consideration since it offers so many benefits.

I have nothing negative at all to say about Friendly Hills Country Club. My experience has been amazing even from reaching out to inquire. TAYLOR is awesome! So sweet, kind, and helpful! I had a vision of how I was going to combine 2 birthdays into one and Taylor was very accommodating answering my million questions. The price was reasonable and the food was spectacular! Everyone kept saying how good the chicken and veggies were. Not your typical bland chicken wedding food. So delicious! I removed the dance floor to accommodate the children's playground and it worked perfect! I was able to u…

THANK YOU, FHCC!!! Last month we had our wedding and chose FHCC to be our venue, and we’re so glad we did! First of all, if you’ve ever been to this country club, you know how gorgeous the venue is. We looked at several venues and FHCC by far was the most stunning given our desired location. We had our reception take place on the second floor with a GREAT view of the golf course and 17 foot high ceilings where we were able to hang drapes and twinkle lights from. From the very beginning the events team had been accommodating, especially given our short wedding timeline of 3 months! Brittany was…
