I recently held a co-ed baby shower here for my son and daughter in-law. Our experience was beyond expectations. Destiny and her staff went above and beyond to make their day perfect from start to finish. It was absolutely beautiful, extremely clean and the food was fantastic! I truly couldn’t ask for a better outcome. I highly recommend this establishment for any celebration. You won’t be disappointed.

Tekoa hosted our daughter’s wedding last night. Everything was perfect- Destiny, the wedding coordinator was amazing, she had all the bases covered and we could not have had such a perfect night without her. Highly recommend for anyone looking to book an event here.

Just celebrated my wedding at Tekoa and everyone had such an amazing time! The planning process with Destiny was so easy. She answered every single one of our questions and was so patient and kind to us and our families. Gail and the other staff were so helpful on the day of as well. The food we chose was delicious and the views of both the ceremony and reception room were beautiful!! Especially being the start of autumn. I’m so thankful to have chosen Tekoa for my wedding.

We had our wedding reception at Tekoa after having a destination wedding. Destiny worked with us to get every detail exactly as we wanted it. Gail and her team were AMAZING the day of our event. They made sure we had anything we needed, and even carried my plates to the table for me so I wouldn’t spill on my wedding dress! The food was delicious, and every single employee was so wonderful. I would highly highly recommend having your events here! Thank you so much to the team at Tekoa for making our day perfect! ❤️

My wife and I had our wedding here on September 1. It was the first venue we looked at and we were sold by how beautiful the ceremony spot is, we booked it that same day. It was perfect. Destiny and all the staff were phenomenal. Highly recommend. The food was AMAZING. Miso glazed salmon and the pasta station were raved about. We appreciate all the efforts put into our special day. Thank you Tekoa!

If there was an option to give negative stars I would. 55$ for this joke course on a week day at 11am. Place should be no more than 27$. Grass hasn t been cut for weeks. They may not even own a lawn mower couple fairways looked like the sand at Hampton beach.. me and my buddy left this depressing course after 5 holes to go somewhere else

What a WONDERFUL decision we made when our family decided to have Tekoa Country Club, and specifically Destiny and her crew, host our fathers 90th birthday party. They could not have been more accommodating and helpful. We decided to use their Brunch Stations menu. The food was delicious...particularly the waffles, the bacon, the chicken marsala, and actually everything. We were able to bring our own cake and extra decorations which Destiny and her team put up for us. They were right there the whole event for anything we needed which included getting high chairs for little ones, providing help with the sound system when we needed a microphone, cutting up the cake for us, just everything. I can not say enough about what a great time we all had, and how wonderful this venue was for our party. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Well worth the cost, which was quite reasonable as well.

Destiny & the entire staff at Tekoa Country Club were absolutely phenomenal for our wedding. Destiny is not only very professional but she is incredibly kind and superb at her job. Throughout the entire process she handled everything with ease and treated us like we were the only wedding happening. Our big day was even better than we could have imagined. The decor, food, and atmosphere was perfect. If you choose to book your wedding with TCC you will not regret it!

We had the pleasure of working with Destiny at Tekoa to plan a graduation party. We were looking for a venue that could offer flexibility, creative ideas, an indoor space with an outdoor option (a deck), convenience, ease in planning, a fun venue for guests of all ages, and a great location. We found all of that and more with Tekoa! Destiny guided us along the way based on our questions and general ideas about the party, offering really helpful suggestions along the way based on her experience and expertise to build up to a fantastic, well organized, much enjoyed party! It was such a relief to be able to count on Tekoa to decorate the room with our party decorations, pictures, etc., and to be able to use the items Tekoa had as well (including tablecloths, napkins, a photo backdrop, candle centerpieces, a gift card holder, etc.). And it was great not to have to buy/prep/store/serve the food on our own - Tekoa took care of it all! It was great to have the deck to use as some guests preferred outdoor space which also had seating. Throughout the entire process, Destiny was prompt in answering any questions that came up; during the party Destiny and her staff were wonderful, always making sure that everything was going well. I wholeheartedly recommend Tekoa for any of your party/banquet needs!

We celebrated our annual awards banquet with 340 members. Everyone at Tekoa was so easy and fun to work with. Destiny and her AMAZING crew made the night go flawless. The planning prior was easy with Destinys expertise. She was very helpful with any of our questions. We ended up using both of the bars for our event and it worked perfect. Lines moved great! Also the FOOD...everyone gave 5 stars!!!

08/04/2023 Mixed Emotions: First the good news, the appetizers and dinners were absolutely FANTASTIC! Chkn tenders, Steamers and Mozzarella sticks, Prime Rib, and Fish n Chips, all GREAT! And, the not so good news: I had called Friday around noon time to place a reservation for 6 (per the web site) as we were celebrating my girlfriends dads 85th Birthday Party. Got voice mail, so I left a detailed voice message ending with my call back cell#, no one ever returned my call? Anyways.... We arrived (only 1 other couple eating dinner) we saw a table beautifully set-up 6, so I thought that was ours, but it was not per the hostess? I explained to her that I left a voice message around noon time (same-day) for a special 85th birthday reservation, she said no one knows how to retrieve voice messages and chuckled : ( then she proceeded to pull two tables together right up near the bar where there were 4 employees and 1 patron having a great time/conversation) really?, again the entire dining room was available? The other table with the reservation sign had white cloth table linen on it, along with wine and water glasses all set up with tableware and silverware, looked great, but again that wasnt four us :( Would had been great if she said please just give me a few minutes and well set up a table just like the one that had the reserved sign on it, but didnt) ugh! After our appetizers were served, a few minutes later the server came back asking if wed like plates? Yes, again, all were adults celebrating Dads 85th birthday (which we made them very aware a few times), yes we would like plates knives and forks please... In addition, we ordered salads but when we asked what kind of salad dressing do you have? ...the server wasnt really sure, but she knew they have ranch, that was it. Two of my guests loved the fish n chips and asked what kind of fish was it?, she said I didnt know.., that was it : ( Trying to keep it short here... We had asked originally if we could eat our dinner outside, and were told no (a little gray outside maybe)? After we finished our dinners we went outside to take a couple commemorative birthday pictures by the practice green, just beautiful outside all the flowers and everything all green, but then only to see another large family having dinner outside next to three empty tables : ( But remember what I first noted: The food was FANTASTIC!!!! ...just not sure if we would go back? It felt like we were the regular 4some of guys that come in every Friday afternoon after 18 holes for dinner that have been gong there for years vs the brand new local customers having a special family birthday dinner for dads 85th birthday party : ( Our highest compliments to the cooks!!!!)

8/8/19 This is the flatest New England golf course that I have ever played. Reminded me of Arizona in that respect. Dont think we even set the brake in the cart most times. Limited water on the course and it was 89° with high humidity. Entryway to clubhouse has a funky odor. Just that one small area but........it IS the first impression. I thought the course was crowded for a Thursday morning, and pace of play was slow, but I am from NH. My friend from CT didnt agree. The course is in nice shape, cart paths also.

Recently played this course after having last played it many years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the good condition of the course, given all the bad weather the area had endured. I played in the Safari Club group, which brought 100 players to this course for the opening kick off. Good conditions, nice layout, and hard/fast greens. Great course to walk if you are able to. I do think they need more bartenders to handle the amount of people waiting to be served.

The Safari Club visited Tekoa last week and as usual everything was perfect. I guess were spoiled because we have kind of come to expect this type of treatment from head pro, E J Altobello and his entire staff. But we also know that whenever you go to Tekoa, and whoever youre playing with, this is what you can always count on a great fun course to play and a welcoming staff that appreciate your business. This photo represents well over 100 Safarians that would all agree.

Sara and her team did an extraordinary job with our wedding. They worked hard to help make my dream into a reality. The food was amazing and the prices were better than any other venue we had visited. Despite rain on the day of the wedding they quickly turned my outdoor ceremony into a beautiful indoor wedding. I do wish there was a separate room that the ceremony couldve been held in instead of the same area as the reception, but it all worked out. The lead server I was given later In the evening was wonderful and attentive to MY needs, and all in all every guest we talked to said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Thank you Sara and the tekoa team.

Had a holiday party there. 250+/- people. First sign of trouble the hors doeuvres, Costco exists for a reason - to produce better selections in taste and variety than they could come up with. From start of bringing dishes out - over an hour 1/4 to serve. That last ones to be served were told their selected dish of filet mignon (chick, filet or shrimp were the choices) ran out. What was not understandable is they were so slow they had enough time to go to town buy another tenderloin, cook it, and have ready to serve. So we were given the option of either the chicken or shrimp. I opted for both. I was always told that to F___ up shrimp you have to try really really hard. They must have put some serious effort into this one. After watching Forrest Gump for so many years there was one way of preparing shrimp this staff came up with that wasnt listed - Shrimp Jerky or more defining Shrimp Shoe Leather. If ya gonna put it under a heat lamp like that at least put some sun tan lotion in it, dont worry it would have helped the flavor as well. The chicken, well it would have been better to to just get one of those Stouffers frozen chicken entrees, microwave it and leave it in the bread box over night. I didnt get to try the meat but from those that did, theres a point where a filet just becomes stew meat, it was cold and uninspiring. The potatoes, I have had better at Dennys at 3:00 in the morning after a two day binge. Tater-tots would have been a step up. The green beans seemed to be the only thing done marginally right. The dessert menu, If you like cookies and marginal box mix cakes this is the place to get them. Bar service, slow, and under stocked. Maybe on the smaller crowds it runs a little smoother. The girl running this should really find some thing she loves and go do it, because she sucked at managing this event. They had plenty of excuses but none were acceptable. Never allow Gordon Ramsey with in 20 miles of this place hed explode in about 30 seconds.
