    We can't recommend Panther Creek enough!

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Panther Creek in April 2022 and had a wonderful experience! Susan, Amy, Lucas, and the entire Panther Creek staff was very accommodating and so easy to work with from start to finish. Susan is a very talented event coordinator, she is extremely organized and made the entire process run so smoothly. She was extremely helpful with questions we had along the way, honest about what has gone well or not so well in the past, and took into account cost and our budget as she made recommendations which we really appreciated. She had great ideas and was willing to work with our request to have our ceremony in the main dining room which was a huge task for her team to take on. Everything turned out even more beautiful than we expected and Susan and her team did an amazing job making sure our day went perfectly. We heard over and over from our guests how impressed they were with the food, space, and Panther Creek Staff. We are SO happy with how everything went and can’t recommend Panther Creek enough!

    The perfect venue!

    First and foremost, Susan Kent and the rest of the PCC staff made planning our reception a breeze. The service they delivered throughout the night was exceptional and the food and drink were fantastic. We had so many of our guests compliment the venue and the food. Susan made the night flow easily and my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing once we arrived. She was responsive, supportive, and honest throughout the planning process which made finalizing details go smoothly. Additionally, the reception room is absolutely beautiful and they help your vision come to life. If we had to do it over, we would choose PCC again for our reception Venue again in a heartbeat.

    Amazing & Personal Venue

    My husband & I were one of those couples who didn't let the Pandemic stop our wedding plans, but that was only possible with the help & creativity from the Panther Creek Country Club. Were able to keep our August 2020 wedding date and couldn't have been happier with how our special day turned out! We had a beautiful outdoor lawn ceremony and utilized as much space as possible for our fun indoor/outdoor reception afterwards. The staff is very experienced and assisted in planning every little detail and made sure that all of those details ran smoothly on our wedding day!

    Panther Creek Country Club's reply:

    Lindsey, It was a true pleasure working with you. Even through many changes due to COVID, you and your family held fast and pursued your dreams! We wish you all the best life has to offer!

    Phenomenal event coordinator!!!

    Susan Kent at Panther Creek was a LIFESAVER with our vow renewal ceremony and reception! We had to cancel our event in Missouri due to COVID 19 and replan our ceremony we had waited two years for (we're a military couple who had married at the courthouse and wanted a party for family and friends) within TWO WEEKS! Susan was so amazing to work with. She is accommodating, incredibly kind, and helped create my vision and the perfect day for us at Panther Creek. She bent over backward for us and is so sweet and helpful! I cannot express how much we appreciate the staff there and all of the help and hard work they provided, along with a safe venue that followed all COVID 19 guidelines and made us feel comfortable! The day went so smoothly and I didn't stress at all! The venue was gorgeous after everything was set up, and we had a beautiful sunset to take our photos with! The food was great, the service was great, and overall I would love to do it all again with Panther Creek!

    Panther Creek Country Club's reply:

    Abby, It was a pleasure working with you as well. I am so happy that you were able to have this special day even with COVID-19!
    We wish you all the best in the years to come!

    Phenomenal

    PCCC was extremely helpful from start to finish and made us feel comfortable with ever decision we made. Susan Kent is amazing at what she does and has a way of making you feel at ease even during the most stressful times of wedding planning.

    Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you! You and you guests were so much fun!

    Incredible Experience!

    Our reception was held at Panther Creek and it was fantastic! The food was great, the staff were wonderful, and the space was just what we were looking for! Susan Kent, the on-site event planner, was one of the best aspects of having our reception at PCCC. She was extremely accommodating, flexible, calm, professional and organized - everything you need in a planner! I would highly recommend PCCC for your reception and/or ceremony!

    Panther Creek Country Club's reply:

    Maggie,
    Thank you for your kind words. You, Mat and your families were so nice and simply great to be around. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.

    Perfect venue

    Panther Creek Country Club provided a wonderful experience for our wedding. Susan Kent makes the planning so easy. They assist with any extra rentals, do all the set-up that day and take care of many details that would have fallen on the family or an additional wedding planner. From lunch for the groomsman to the plated dinner, the food was outstanding! The inside/outside aspect of the clubhouse adds an extra perk for this venue. There is a lot of space to spread out. In addition, the staff for the event was very attentive to our guests. If I had describe our experience with Panther Creek in 3 words...accommodating, flexible and delicious!

    Panther Creek Country Club's reply:

    You are so sweet! It was a pleasure having you and your guests here for this AMAZING day! You did a lot of hard work that resulted in a beautiful day!

    Panther Creek was excellent during the wedding process. They were always on top of the timeline and what needed to go where. We were not able to decorate completely the night before, so we left it up to Panther Creek to finish. They did an awesome job! We loved having our reception there. We would host any event there! They were easy to work with, happy to speak with you, and so accommodating! The one downfall that I still slightly regret is the placement of tables. On paper, and not ever seeing an event there before, I didn't fully understand the division between the rooms when all the tables were there and people were present. I feel like some guests were neglected in the back room. I wish I would have put everyone in the large front room. Oh well.. But overall, we had a great experience with Panther Creek. Thank you, PCCC, for letting us celebrate at your beautiful venue!

    I would HIGHLY recommend Panther Creek Country Club. We had a summer wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. Everyone there was so nice and helpful from the first time we walked in until the day of our wedding. Katie and Zach made our day so memorable. They both went above and beyond to do all the little extra things that you may not think of to make your day that much more special. The wait staff was great to all of our guest during dinner, our guests commented on how friendly everyone was.
    If you want to have a beautiful wedding at a beautiful venue with a staff that will take GREAT care of you..Panther Creek Country Club is the place to GO!!

    We had the pleasure of having Susan Kent as our wedding coordinator at the Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, IL. Her attention to detail surpassed our wildest dreams. She was in communication with us every step of our wedding details. I wish we could hire Susan for every party we host, you couldn't ask for a more suited planner to help you pull off the event of your dreams. The entire staff was incredibly helpful and on point, from the chef's perfectly cooked dishes to being the point of contact for all vendors. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield. We have had many of our guests comment during and after how wonderful the staff was. Thank you Susan & Panther Creek for being our wedding dreams come true!
    Love,
    Sarah & Brad Wolf

    Thank you for your kind words! It was as much as a pleasure for me to have Bradley & Sarah here with their friends and family to celebrate their marriage! I will pass your message on to the staff!

    We had both our wedding and reception at Panther Creek. We chose that facility because: 1) it already looked great and did not need much decoration, 2) there were areas there for an outdoor or indoor wedding, weather permitting, 3) the food was delicious, and 4) Katie, the event coordinator. The facility was beautiful, and the food was great, but it was Katie and Zach who really made everything work out so well. They were responsive and flexible in everything, and they went the extra mile for us in so many ways, usually fulfilling any special requests all by themselves. Katie and Zach were always very pleasant, patient, and cooperative, even when we were stressed out and kept making changes. There were a few kinks on the day of the event, but that will always be the case, and everything worked out; as far as our guests could tell, everything was perfect.

    I was pleased with our wedding ceremony and reception at Panther Creek. Katie, the wedding coordinator, was awesome and made sure that everything went smoothly on our day. She was very easy to get ahold of to ask questions and she really helped us work with our wedding budget. The locker room was perfect for us girls to get ready in and the staff was very polite with everything we needed that day. However, there were a few things that bothered me and I wouldn't feel like I was writing an honest review without including them:

    1- During our ceremony, there were golfers behind us (within 20ft) and it distracted our guests. I understand that this wasn't planned, but they were allowed to continue golfing during our ceremony. After the ceremony, we went to the same fairway to take pictures and were quickly kicked off of it and had to take pictures elsewhere.
    2- The food we taste tested and the food served at the reception were different. The food was of lesser quality and the "New York Strip Steak" was more like roast beef and nothing like the legitimate steak we tasted prior to the wedding. There was less seasoning on everything and some of our family said the chicken was cold. One of our guests went to school with the Chef at Panther Creek and he went into the kitchen and complained because he knew that the food could be prepared better. We felt deceived by what was actually served.

    Even after these 2 things, I thought our wedding was beautiful and I am happy that we chose Panther Creek. Things seemed to go smoothly and I had a few worries that day. I would suggest to a future bride to make sure that they are letting you taste test the exact food that will be served at the reception. Also, maybe talk to higher management about where you can take your pictures. It doesn't seem right that you pay a venue so much and then they kick you off a fairway that golfers had just been on 15 minutes prior.
