Historically renovated Glen Oaks Banquet Center retains the charm of another era while providing a tranquil view of the golf course's rolling terrain.

The banquet center overlooks Glen Oaks Golf Course, a picturesque 18-hole, par 70 course with par 3 holes crossing streams with rolling terrain. It is conveniently located on 13 Mile Road in Farmington Hills, just north of I-696 between Orchard Lake and Middlebelt roads.

The historic 1920s English-style clubhouse provides an elegant setting for weddings, parties and golf outings. The formal garden is ideal for outdoor ceremonies. The dining room, which can host up to 400 people, features floor to ceiling windows that provide incredible views of the pristinely maintained golf course. A large wrap around deck with tables and chairs are available for guests to enjoy. The event center has a built-in bar and dance floor, buffet room and hospitality room.

For 2025 reservations, food service is provided by Oak Management.

Customers renting space in 2026 are welcome to 'DIY' the space or bring in vendors of their choice. The banquet center will not provide food or beverages, so customers must provide their own or hire an outside vendor.
