Wedding DJ at High Point Country Club in High Point, NC

The Space

High Point Country Club formed from the merger of two older clubs: Emerywood, established in 1923 as the in-town campus, and Willow Creek, established in 1964 several miles outside the city. That merger history means the club today operates two genuinely different settings under one membership, an in-town clubhouse and a more rural championship golf property, rather than a single fixed location.

Willow Creek’s 18-hole course was designed by William Byrd and hosted the LPGA Tour through the 1980s before it became the practice grounds for High Point University’s men’s and women’s golf teams, while Emerywood’s original 9-hole course opened the same year the club was founded. Couples choosing High Point Country Club are choosing between, or potentially combining, an established in-town setting and a more spread-out country club campus for their day.

Capacity & Layout

The club offers multiple event spaces sized for groups of varying sizes, with spacious private rooms and ballrooms available at both the Emerywood and Willow Creek campuses, so the right room depends largely on your guest count and which campus fits your vision. There is no single fixed capacity number published for the venue, which makes an early walkthrough of both locations worthwhile before settling on a room.

Because the club runs two separate campuses, layout planning here is really two conversations: one about which location suits your ceremony and reception style, in-town at Emerywood or the more rural Willow Creek grounds, and a second about which specific room or ballroom on that campus fits your guest list best. In-house catering staff assist with menu selection once the room itself is settled.

Amenities

Emerywood’s amenities lean toward an active, social club: outdoor clay and hard tennis courts, pickleball courts, an Olympic-size pool that runs through the summer, a separate zero-entry pool with diving boards and slides, and an expanded fitness center, alongside dining options including the award-winning 1923 Bistro for casual meals, the Oak Bar, and Ross Grill and Patio for something more formal.

Willow Creek carries its own set of amenities built around the championship course: a practice facility, a state-of-the-art tennis complex, its own fitness center, and casual indoor and terrace dining. For a wedding weekend that spans more than one day, having two campuses with genuinely different amenity sets gives a wedding party real options for a rehearsal dinner, a welcome gathering, or golf for out-of-town guests before the ceremony.

Location & Getting There

High Point Country Club sits in High Point, North Carolina, with Emerywood positioned in-town and Willow Creek located several miles outside the city, so getting from one campus to the other during a wedding weekend does mean factoring in a short drive between locations rather than assuming everything happens in one place.

Both campuses offer indoor dining and ballroom spaces built for enclosed, controlled sound, which suits a DJ well regardless of which campus you choose: private rooms and ballrooms at Emerywood or the indoor and terrace dining at Willow Creek both give a contained indoor room to work from, with terrace or patio space available nearby if part of the evening moves outside. Whichever campus you settle on, it is worth walking the specific room with your planner ahead of time so speaker placement and sightlines are set before the wedding day rather than figured out on the spot.
