What Word of Mouth Can Do It all started in 1987 when Bill Lawley visited Fort Lauderdale and played golf for the first time at Coral Ridge. Traveling back to Buffalo, NY, word spread quickly to his family and co-workers at Lawley Insurance Group. Now, 38 years later, 4 of his children are Members along with other extended family, countless Lawley Insurance brokers, and many friends from Buffalo. They’re affectionately referred to as the “Buffalo Group!” (Go figure!) Welcome Back Kick-Off Party!

In order to provide great service, we need to know how many Members and guests we’ll be serving during a given period of time. Please make your reservation by calling the Front Desk at 954.449.4439 or book online. Note: Your table will be reserved 15 minutes past your reservation time; if you have not arrived or called, your reservation will be cancelled, and you will be assigned the next available seating time. FOOD & BEVERAGE TEAMWORK Our Front of the House staff are ready to welcome you and anticipate your needs: Brad King, resident Sommelier & Clubhouse Manager: Gabor Olah, orchestrating events and all things dining related as our Food & Beverage Director; Sebastian Hemmerling, Food & Beverage Manager; and Christina Mullin, cheerfully full of ideas, brings events of all kinds to life as our Catering & Events Manager. CLUB EVENTS Club events, wine dinners, seafood nights and holiday dining are popular events that sell out and require the purchase of special food and beverage products, equipment, entertainment, etc. Last-minute unreplaced cancellations (including changes to the party number) are unfair to those Members who are turned away due to full capacity and cause the Club to incur unnecessary expenses if the reservation is not replaced. As a result, the Club must exercise a firm enforcement of the special event and holiday dining policy. • Please let us know if you have other Members dining with you. • You may cancel 7 days prior to an event without being charged. • If you cancel less than 7 days prior to the event, you will be charged 100% of the event price unless the reservation is filled by the Club or Member. 90 DAY REGISTRATION Registrations for Club Events open 90 days in advance.CORAL RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB 5 2025 - 2026 CLUB EVENTS Catering & Private Parties Coral Ridge would be happy to host your corporate meeting/event, anniversary, bridal shower, reunion, birthday, wedding and more!
