Black Bear Golf Club

Nestled where the emerald stretch of manicured fairways meets the rugged majesty of the Hamburg Mountain Range, Black Bear Golf Club offers an escape into New Jersey’s most refined wilderness—just sixty minutes from the pulse of New York City.

Your journey begins in the Wedding Garden, a meticulously landscaped sanctuary where you can exchange vows under an elegant gazebo, framed by the sweeping silhouettes of the peaks beyond. From there, the celebration transitions to the Bear Den Grille, where cocktail hour unfolds on a scenic terrace drenched in golden-hour light.  

As evening falls, the Black Bear Ballroom opens its doors for up to 185 guests. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass, your reception will feel as though it’s floating amongst the stars and the mountains, with a spacious veranda providing a breath of fresh mountain air. Your guests will indulge in a masterfully curated menu, where seasonal ingredients are transformed into culinary art by their resident executive chefs. 

Enjoy easy access to two luxurious resort lodging options with complimentary shuttle service.  The premier northeast culinary, golf and spa resort features the AAA 4-Diamond 250-room Grand Cascades Lodge with the luxurious Reflections Spa and Biosphere Pool complex, as well as the 175-room Minerals Hotel featuring the tranquil oasis of Elements Spa and Minerals Sports Club. Further, guests can enjoy six extraordinary golf courses including the state’s #1 ranked Ballyowen Golf Course, nature trails and group adventures (goat yoga, axe throwing, forest bathing) in a picture-perfect setting. Best of all, your NJ country club wedding is the only one at this property—ensuring your dedicated team’s undivided attention. At Black Bear, your wedding is the sole focus of the day. Because they host only one event at a time, their dedicated team serves as your personal concierge, ensuring every detail is executed with flawless precision.
