Bespoke packages · fast response · free consultation

Northwood Golf Club is on Rickmansworth Road in Northwood, HA6, close to our studio, so a morning at home in Northwood or Pinner and a reception here leaves only a short journey to plan around.

It is a modest venue and honest about it: three function rooms and a terrace, the largest taking 140 guests with a stage, a dance floor and a full audio-visual system, and a gallery restaurant looking over the course towards Ruislip Woods. It lists wedding and christening parties among the functions it caters for. What it does not publish is the part that decides an Asian wedding: a catering policy and a ceremony licence.

Our studio is at 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU, photographing weddings since 2001 and rated 4.8 out of 5 from 580+ Google reviews. We are glad to photograph at Northwood Golf Club, and coverage starts from £750.

No published prices, four published capacities

Northwood Golf Club publishes no prices or packages for functions; ask the club for a quote for your date and numbers. It does publish capacities: the downstairs function room up to 140, the gallery restaurant 50, the terrace 50 and the Ransome Lounge 40. Its corporate page gives meeting layouts of up to 100 in the downstairs room and up to 40 in the gallery.

What the club does not publish, and why it matters

The club publishes very little. Its site describes the rooms, their capacities and the bar, and stops there. It does not state whether it holds a civil ceremony licence, and it does not state whether outside caterers are permitted: the two questions that decide whether a Hindu, Sikh or Muslim wedding can happen here at all.

There is a bar serving alcohol in the Ransome Lounge, which tells you the club is not dry, but says nothing about whether alcohol can be excluded for a nikah, or whether a vegetarian kitchen can be arranged. Nothing is published on open flame, so a havan or lit diyas cannot be assumed.

The realistic reading is that this is a golf club that hosts wedding and christening parties, funeral wakes and formal dinners, and that a reception here is straightforward while a religious ceremony needs a conversation. Ask about the licence, outside caterers, open flame and the function finish time in one email before anything else.

A stage, a gallery over Ruislip Woods, and a 140 ceiling

  • The downstairs room has a stage and a dance floor built in, so the evening pictures have a fixed geography, worth lighting before guests arrive.
  • The gallery restaurant looks over the course towards Ruislip Woods. That is the view to use for the couple at golden hour.
  • The terrace seats 50 outdoors and is the only outdoor space published. In summer it is where the group pictures work; in winter there is no covered alternative published.
  • 140 in the main room is the ceiling. This is a venue for a smaller wedding or a reception following a ceremony elsewhere.
  • Disabled access to the gallery is by stairlift, which is slow. If elderly relatives are in the group pictures, plan the timings around that.
  • No catering policy is published. If your caterer is coming in, confirm kitchen access before the day, not on it.

A parkland clubhouse on Rickmansworth Road

A parkland golf club on Rickmansworth Road in Northwood, within easy reach of the M25, M40 and M1. The clubhouse holds three function rooms and an outdoor terrace: the downstairs room with its stage and dance floor, a gallery restaurant raised to look across the course towards Ruislip Woods, and the Ransome Lounge with the bar. The club publishes no listing status, no build date and no architect: it is a working members' club whose rooms are hired out.

Northwood Golf Club wedding photography, frequently asked questions

What is the capacity at Northwood Golf Club?

The downstairs function room takes up to 140 guests, with a PA and full audio-visual system, a stage and a dance floor. The gallery restaurant seats 50 with views across the course towards Ruislip Woods, the terrace seats 50 outdoors, and the Ransome Lounge takes 40 with a bar. So 140 is the ceiling: this is a venue for a smaller wedding, or for a reception after a ceremony elsewhere, rather than a 400-guest celebration. No prices are published, so ask the club for a quote for your numbers.

Is Northwood Golf Club licensed for civil ceremonies?

Not published. The club's own site describes its rooms, capacities and bar, and does not claim a civil ceremony licence. A reception here is straightforward, while a legal or religious ceremony on site needs a direct conversation first. Nothing is published on open flame either, so a havan or lit diyas cannot be assumed. The practical step is one email to the club covering the licence, outside caterers, open flame and the finish time. The club is on Rickmansworth Road, Northwood HA6 2QW.

Can you use your own caterer at Northwood Golf Club?

Not published. The club does not state whether outside caterers are permitted, which is the first question for a Hindu, Sikh or Muslim wedding, and it does not say whether a vegetarian kitchen can be arranged or alcohol excluded for a nikah. It does say the terrace suits a range of catering options, including a barbecue. If your caterer is coming in, confirm kitchen access, service timings and where food can be prepared and held well before the day.

What time do functions finish at Northwood Golf Club?

The club does not publish a finish time for private functions. Its opening times page says the clubhouse is open 07:30 to 21:00 and locked at 21:00, with bar hours to 21:00 Monday to Saturday and 20:30 on Sunday, but it also says those times change for club events, and it does not say they apply to a private hire. Treat the end time as something to agree with the club in writing, and plan the evening photographs once you know it.

Is Northwood Golf Club accessible?

Disabled access to the gallery restaurant is via a stairlift; no other access detail is published. A stairlift is slow, so if older relatives are in the group photographs we would plan the timings around it, or choose a spot they can reach easily, such as the terrace. No covered outdoor alternative is published for winter. The club mentions a car park on its visitor page but gives no space count or event arrangements, so ask about parking for older guests too.
