We love hosting your big special moments in life at the club! Recently we hosted an anniversary lunch and this is what our guest had to say!

“We had a lovely time yesterday! Almost everyone was from the surrounding counties, except our English guest, and was unaware of the Corinthian. The food was delicious and your staff was so kind and helpful. Of course, the ships, sailboats and planes were great for the kids of all ages. When the cargo ship sailed by, it was if we planned it. The history buffs could have stayed another few hours. I hope we have another occasion to use the facilities.”

If yourself, or someone you know is in need of a venue for their next big event please consider us!
