    Beautiful Course, good condition, not for the beginner. Every tee shot have to carry over something. Also this course is not walkable lots of elevation. But if you're in Silicon Valley well worth the green fee. PS. Bring extra balls😉

    I hired Joshua and Apryll from Prestige Venue to throw a surprise 65th cocktail birthday party for my wife. The venue was the perfect size for our 75+ guests. Joshua and Apryll and their partners were very attentive and on point with accommodating our requests. We catered the food via Prestige and the guests were very please. They also assisted in the hiring of a bartender to serve guest. We hired a band for the event and everything went off without a hitch. I would strongly recommend holding your event at Prestige Venue or Prestige Hall. Mike

    Had the best event last Saturday at Saratoga Springs! A Cousin Reunion for 4 generations of 65 cousins in a gorgeous setting on a beautiful day! Olivia and Sam were so helpful in the planning, and no detail was overlooked. The venue (Saratoga Cove) looked awesome and the barbecue and side dishes were amazing! The staff was so professional and available throughout the day. Everyone had the best time, the kids loved the Fun Zone and no-one wanted to leave at the end of the day! As one cousin told me the next day - It was epic! I give Saratoga Springs a 10 - it's not just for weddings and big events but perfect for small family gathering too. Thanks SS!

    Done 3 events there and they have been epic! A must for school events. Make your dance into a festival! Lots of space and staff is very cordial. Love playing here. Last event was over 3000 k people. So much space there you can have loads of parking and don’t have to worry about the neighbors complaining about the noise since the ranch is so vast! Also a good place for corporate events!

    Having our wedding at Casa Bella was the best decision we could have ever made. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning, it met all our non-negotiables (ceremony & reception in one area and close to airports/hotels) to make it as easy as possible for our guests. We worked with Leann and Yoselin and they are absolutely lovely throughout the entire process. The entire staff also did such an wonderful job making sure all our guests were well-fed - I didn't hear a single complaint the entire night. If you're looking for an inclusive venue, Casa Bella is a must. We went with their hors d'oeuvres, 3 course meal, open bar (I was overjoyed when they allowed bloody mary's as a signature drink and it was DELICIOUS) and late night snacks and everything was amazing. They also provided us with an outdoor ceremony tent to help us with the heat. Oh, and they have decorations you can rent at a cost or for FREE! We used Weddings with Athena as our coordinator, Celestial Petals as our florist, Ditto Dianto as our photographer, Benji Films (La Venus Studio) as our videographer, and DJ TN with Twin Spin Entertainment as our DJ/MC. All vendors were already familiar with the venue which made the entire planning a breeze. I hope to visit again as a guest as I will be recommending this venue to all future brides & grooms. Thank you so much Casa Bella! Photos: Ditto Dianto Photography
