⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phillips Event Center at Briarcrest was the perfect venue for our wedding! The recent renovations have transformed it into a stunning, contemporary space that provided a beautiful backdrop for our special day. The modern styling was elegant and sophisticated without overpowering our own decorative touches, allowing our vision to shine. The bridal suite was a dream—spacious, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with four lighted vanity mirrors, plenty of outlets, a secret door to the ladies room, prep sink, and ample hanging space for dresses. It made getting ready a seamless and enjoyable experience for me and my bridal party. Meanwhile, the groom’s room was a hit with the guys, especially the golf simulator, which added a fun and unique touch to the morning. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly helpful, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The day-of coordination was superb, keeping us on track and stress-free. And the food—absolutely delicious! Our guests raved about the meal, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service. If you’re looking for a beautifully renovated venue with top-notch amenities, professional staff, and an unforgettable experience, Phillips Event Center at Briarcrest is the place to go. We are so grateful for their role in making our wedding day perfect! [Photo credit: Beth Symons Fine Art & Portraiture]

Ive seen alot of people saying it needs work and this and that, but in my opinion the golf course is great for entry level to novice players. Good mix of easy holes and challenging holes. The driving range is great to get some practice with irons, cause we all need help with short game. All in all its a great course, and the employees are always super nice

Unfortunately, my experience with Phillips Event Center fell short of expectations. While the planning process leading up to the wedding felt organized and supportive, the execution on the actual day was incredibly disappointing. Despite months of detailed planning and communication, I arrived to locked doors, an unprepared staff, and a reception space that was not properly set up — all while my personal wedding coordinator was unexpectedly absent. My bridal party, family, and even early guests had to step in and help correct what should have been managed by the venue staff. That was heartbreaking and stressful on what should have been one of the happiest days of my life. While I appreciate that some staff made efforts to adjust things as issues arose, the lack of preparedness and leadership made it very difficult to fully enjoy the day. Communication was minimal, and moments that should have been seamless — like our ceremony audio and the rain plan for cocktail hour — were instead chaotic and frustrating. I truly wanted to have a glowing experience at Phillips, and I chose the venue because I believed in their professionalism. Unfortunately, the follow-through simply didn’t reflect the level of care and service we were promised. I hope future couples are able to have a better experience, and I would strongly recommend asking very specific questions about day-of coordination and staffing to ensure expectations are aligned.

The food is fantastic, especially the fries! The prices were better than McDonalds. I had the BLT and it had what seemed like an entire burger patty worth of perfectly cooked bacon in it. The BLT was only about $10. I wish I had known about this place when I was a broke college student. Only down side is that the 20 person group we brought made it hard for the kitchen to make all of those orders at once. I will be coming here again!

Visit this course monthly with my neighbor. Great place to golf. Fairways are well kept and the greens roll great. Challenging holes that keep me coming back.
