Willow Oaks Country Club

I recently had the honor of photographing a wedding at Willow Oaks Country Club in Richmond, and it was an absolute dream from start to finish. The landscaping is impeccable, the iconic river views make for stunning portraits, and the sailcloth tent is straight out of a fairytale — perfect for elegant outdoor celebrations with the timeless ballroom to accompany. A special thank-you to Susan Birckhead, the venue coordinator, who truly went above and beyond. While many venue coordinators are hard to find on wedding days, Susan was everywhere she needed to be and more — bringing the couple drink…

Last night my Virginia Photographers group held their annual Holiday event at Willow Oaks Country Club as we have for several years. The dinner buffet was a nice variety of food and delicious and elegantly presented. We had our own bartender set up in the beautifully decorated room for about 35 people. A good time was had by everyone!

Was happy to attend a reception as a guest. Found the facility to be in great condition and the staff welcoming and accommodating. Food at our breakfast brunch was sublime. Happy to have had a chance to visit.

Beautiful quiet place for the family or a place to get away from it all. Perfect place to reflect and take in nature.

I attended the Willow Oaks Country Club for a friends wedding mid September. I enjoyed myself. The building was clean & up to date. Landscaping unkept & all staff were friendly. My husband & I enjoyed.

These guys are AWESOME. My friends and I were tubing on the James river when a really bad unscheduled storm hit. We had to find shelter immediately at the nearest spot which happened to be the Willow Oaks country club. A few other groups that were on the river also had to find shelter with us in their facilities, totaling around 15 people. We were wet, muddy, cold and we were not paying customers. Willow Oaks sent a whole convoy of golf carts to come rescue us. Everyone was super friendly and glad to help. They didn’t care that we got their stuff wet and muddy or that they would have to clean…

My family has been members here for almost a decade. The family friendly environment and exceptional staff are why we stay members here and will never move to another club. Golf course is excellent and the clubhouse serves wonderful fare.

Impossible Rice bowl (with grilled tuna) was delightful and the fried oysters small plate was perfect! The oysters were lightly breaded and fried so that they were crisp and not soggy but soft enough to pleasantly chew— a difficult line to walk. The black bean soup was different and fine but a touch too “vinegary” for our taste. Still an adventure worth having. Several folk got smashburgers —a big hit! Service was great — several staff members jumped in to care for our table of 9. Everyone left happy!

Went there for a wedding and had a wonderful time. The catering venue is l-shaped. That makes it a bit awkward to mingle and move around with a dance floor in the middle. But you can make nice transitions from indoor to outdoor space throughout your time there which is good. If it's a major day where people are playing a lot of golf and you have a big event then the parking lot might be a bit constrained.

beautiful place. Country golf club...very lovely place.

We had our wedding reception at Willow Oaks and it was incredible! The space was beautiful, and staff was friendly and professional. Susan was amazing to work with and made our wedding process so easy. We only have positive things to say about Willow Oaks and cannot recommend them enough!

What a beautiful venue for our daughter’s wedding. Susan and her team had every detail covered and went out of their way to give us an exceptional wedding day experience. The food was outstanding, the scenery was beautiful and guests were in awe. Memories for a lifetime! We highly recommend!
