Ladera Oaks Club

Ladera Oaks is a great place. Nice relaxed social atmosphere. Great tennis program for adults and kids with amazing instructors. We originally joined for the swim lessons which migrated into the swim team which has been a very good experience for our kids (one is still doing year round USSA swimming while the other swims PSA (inter club) in the Summer). The remodel of the club (completed a few years ago) was really nice and the updated fitness center is top notch.

WOW! Nice place! I first saw this place in «Here Comes the Guide — Bay Area» and I was struck by both it’s beauty AND the fact that they let you BYOB — there’s no corkage fees whatsoever. In fact, they don’t even make you get a caterer — you could DIY! This place really stands out in my opinion because most event sites make you at least choose from a preferred list of vendors. Ladera Oaks rocks because if you’re really on a tight budget, you could still have a great reception and let your buddies do it all!
We held our June 30 wedding reception here and LOVED IT! The garden patio with the fountain is so beautiful — it’s perfect for a summer wedding/​reception, and their ballroom is perfect for dancing! I highly recommend this site for weddings, parties, or celebrations of any kind! The manager guy can be a bit of a pill to work with but he’s old skool and I think he’s had one too many drunken, vomit filled parties to clean up after to have much of a sense of humor about the whole thing. But if you’re really nice and your heart’s good, he warms up to you after a while. It’s worth it because I guarantee you will enjoy this place! Your party or event will really stay in your guests’ minds afterwards as a perfect, pleasant, lush, and highly enjoyable time.
