Venues & Event Spaces in Cary, NC

“Natasha and John are an incredible power couple with a solid approach to putting on an amazing wedding. We were won over by the food and beauty of the venue but our wedding was so much more than that thanks to their attention to detail and assertive approach. We did the all inclusive package which meant they coordinated our photographer, DJ, service staff, linens and more. The only thing they don’t provide are flowers and cake. We opted for a desert option from Chef John’s menu and we had so much free time not spent coordinating vendors that we were able to DIY our decorations. I will recommend them to anyone looking for a local venue!”

“We were here in early November for a family member’s wedding reception. It’s a lovely venue, with a nice outdoor courtyard area that is great in good weather—it was sunny and in the 70’s the day we were there. There are two buildings: one was a large banquet style space where the reception we attended was held. There’s also a large old house with a pleasant veranda and some very pretty rooms, including one with a piano.

Food was very good—there was a hot buffet for most guests, but my son and I have food allergies. The bride let the planner at Matthews House know about our issues well in advance. When we arrived, the event hostess came to meet us personally and then brought out the chef who confirmed our issues and let us know he’d bring our food out on separate plates. It went great. I was so impressed at the extra effort they made for us, and we didn’t have any allergy or digestive issues afterwards so they definitely got the orders correct. A big thumbs up for their attention to special diets!”

“Above the ornate fireplace in one of the stately dining rooms at Macgregor Downs Country Club, you’ll find the words “Ard Choille” (pronounced R Koil). According to history, it means “to the high woods or a secret meeting place,” and was the war cry of Scotland’s MacGregor Clan. Clan Gregor is one of the oldest clans in Scotland.

As you make your way around the golf course, you’ll experience tremendous views and challenging play, regardless of your skill level. The course routing is a giant circle running clockwise around MacGregor Lake. Both nines are hilly and tree-lined and finish close to the clubhouse. On the first hole, you’ll cross MacGregor Lake and won’t face it head-on again until the 18th hole, although it does wind its way behind the fourth green.

There are several memorable holes on the golf course, but none more so than the 18th hole, which is as visually stunning as it is challenging. Tee off from an elevated tee box over the shimmering waters of MacGregor Lake; how much water is up to you. From the White Tees, the shortest carry is straight ahead - not exactly at the hole on a dogleg right par 4 - but can be the difference between hitting that Pro V1 again or fishing a new one out of your bag. This shot requires about a 165-yard carry; go straight at the green and you’ll need about a 260-yard carry to clear the water. Once you find the fairway off the tee, you’ll have a long to mid-iron into the green. It’s one of the most intimidating holes out here!

Besides golf, MacGregor Downs Country Club has several popular amenities. The Fitness Room features top-of-the-line Cybex equipment, a Bravo Trainer, and free weights. The Club has partnered with several personal trainers who can help you put together the perfect workout regimen.

Since its opening in 1967, MacGregor Downs has built a reputation as one of the most prestigious private clubs in North Carolina. Members enjoy a clan-like environment, building long-lasting relationships with other members and developing close-knit friendships. It’s one of two Concert Golf Partners properties in the area. The Club at 12 Oaks is a super family-friendly club with a championship golf course and a ton of amenities that the entire family can enjoy. And it’s a mere 20-minute drive away. I mention this because Concert Golf now offers a Premier Golf Membership that allows you and your family to take advantage of all of the amenities at both clubs for one low, monthly fee. Several other membership programs are also available.”

“Clean, easy to access. Went to vote and it was quick and easy. Volunteers helpful and friendly.Parking was a breeze. WC accessable and curbside voting.Please remember to bring your photo ID, driver's license.”

“Great experience at this hotel. The two front desk ladies are phenomenal, personable, and made us feel at home. Perfect location in Cary for the Social District. Would definitely book here again.”

“The course was very wet due to the rain the previous couple of days. The staff was very professional I will come back and play in the Summer when the course is dryer.”

“We have been here mid-week a few times and have enjoyed our experience. The staff is always friendly, the food is decent enough for bar/bowling alley food, and prices are reasonable.

The scorekeeping equipment is modern and easy to use, the atmosphere inside is dated but fitting, and everything works as should. The only downside is the balls are very dated and worn.

There is a small arcade that offers some games and a few claw machines, but it requires you to use one of their game cards, which isn’t ideal.

Overall not a bad spot.”

“I always have a good time when I’m here for a comedy show nice comfortable chairs nice sound system great acts and niceeeee size bathroom with huge mirrors that’s a new one for a men’s bathroom. Make sure get there early and to order food early if it’s your first time.”
