Mistwood Golf Course

As a central Illinois wedding photographer, I can confidently say that Mistwood is one of my favorite venues for capturing weddings. The potential for stunning portraits on its beautiful grounds is simply unparalleled. Every gallery from weddings I've photographed there turns out absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend couples consider Mistwood for their special day.

This review is long overdue so where do I begin... I got married here on September 21, 2024 and planned this wedding in 6 months. We attended a wedding here as guests and enjoyed ourselves so much that we looked here for our own wedding. Although wedding planning in that short of a timeframe was stressful, Taylor did not contribute to it. She helped this process so much and it was so helpful that Mistwood included so much in their venue. I loved how beautiful the grounds were so we didn't need to go somewhere else for pictures. The garden for the ceremony was so beautiful that we didn't need…

As a wedding photographer, I may be slightly obsessed with this country club… and honestly, I’m pretty sure the staff is obsessed with me too (I’m there so often they know me by name and treat me like family!). Between the rolling hills, charming stone bridges, and swoon-worthy arched doorways, every corner is basically begging to be in a photo. And the bar? Cozy, moody, and straight-up Scottish—perfect for capturing those “I’m fancy but also relaxed” cocktail moments. The outdoor spaces are endless for portraits, first looks, or just me sneaking a few creative shots while no one’s looking. A…

I had my wedding at Mistwood in May 2025 and am so happy we went with there for our wedding venue. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Taylor. She is the best! She is so kind, helpful & quick to respond to all questions. Our rehearsal dinner and wedding overall went smoothly. There were a couple issues that I had spoke to Taylor about after the wedding and were handled appropriately. I would recommend Mistwood Golf Club to anyone getting married.

I had my wedding in May 2025 at Mistwood and it was the best experience! Taylor, the on-site venue coordinator for Mistwood, is the best of the best. She was so responsive via email and text anytime my husband and I had a question for her. She was timely and followed through on everything she committed to. She was so involved in our entire wedding process, and I believe she is one of the biggest reasons our day went so smoothly and was stress free! She was so easy to work with. The venue itself is stunning. The grounds are well kept, and there are ample places to get photos outside. We had our…

I photographed a Christmas dinner in The Great Hall last month. I arrived super early and was greeted by the staff manager who immediately asked and offered to adjust the lighting if I would like. Beautiful venue and hope to be back to photograph more events.

I had my baby shower in the banquet hall at Mistwood Golf Club and I loved it! The coordinator is great to work with and is very organized. The day of the event, the staff that was working there were super helpful with set up and answering any questions I had. The event went smoothly and everything was on time. The food was delicious!! We had brunch food and everything was served fresh and hot. I will definitely want to use them as a venue again in the future!

We got married on June 1st. Our ceremony was originally supposed to be outside on the patio. Due to all day rain, we had to move the ceremony inside into the ballroom. Taylor and my coordinator were able to turn the ballroom into a beautiful ceremony space. They used hanging drapery to split the room in half. Because of the rain, we did not get a lot of pictures that I wanted in the beautiful outdoor locations at Mistwood. Our photographer worked with Taylor so we could come back one sunny day to take pictures. The outdoor space at Mistwood was a huge reason I picked this venue. The plants and…

We got married here in June and absolutely loved it! Taylor and her team helped a ton with planning to make sure every detail was thought of. It's a gorgeous venue! We were very pleased with the entire process. Our guests had a blast too!

Played in mid April on a bitterly cold and windy day, but the course was still in remarkable condition. Fairways were lush and smooth, greens were a touch soft but rolled really nice. Incredible experience overall.

This course is truly a standout, offering a fantastic layout that is both challenging and enjoyable. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the pristine fairways to the top-tier amenities that go well beyond what you’d expect. Everything was very well done, creating a polished and professional environment that makes for a memorable day on the links. Whether you’re there for the golf or the excellent facilities, the entire experience feels premium and thoughtfully designed. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for a high-quality round in a great setting.

I'm a wedding photographer and this is one of my favorite venues. Even if it rains or is cold on your special day, the indoor options for your ceremony are still so perfect! If you'd like to see more from their amazing venue let me know! - Stephanie Schmidt, Laree Photo & Video
