Just had my husband’s surprise FORE-TEEth birthday PAR-TEE at The Linksman this past weekend & everyone, especially the birthday boy, had an absolute blast!! I randomly found this HOLE-in-the-wall (pun intended) place on a Google search a couple months ago & when I came across it, I couldn’t believe such a perfect spot existed! My husband loves golf, as well as Big Buck Hunter, pool, & alcohol; it is the ultimate man cave place that any dude would enjoy! The owner Steven was very cool & responsive to any/all questions & even has some preferred vendors he recommends for both bartender & food. We went with Curly Bartending & they were SO nice! The drinks were delicious, our guests loved how well-balanced they were as well as the presentation of them. For food, I just ordered a bunch of pizzas, pinwheel sandwiches, & cupcakes to keep it simple. The place has a perfect capacity, so you can host an intimate gathering & be comfortable to move around & hang out in. I got so many compliments from everyone, “how did you find this place?” “This place is so dope” but the best compliment was from my husband who literally said it was perfect & kept thanking me for going all out! On the day of event, our host Ryan, was such a chill guy; he was basically one of “the boys” just hanging out & working the simulator. As a new mom, I was very limited in both how I could communicate & getting things planned & prepared without ever setting foot at the venue beforehand & I gotta say, it went smoothly! Steven was really straightforward via text, Curly Bartending was flexible with her packages via email, & the place is set up so you don’t need a whole lot of decor-so it was really ideal for me to be able to pull this off! Overall, we had a great experience & definitely would book here again! Thank you Linksman for everything!!

I had a beyond wonderful experience at my fiancé surprise party. Being from LA having an event with parking was something I really wanted. I knew hosting a party you would be running around it becomes really hard to take a moment and enjoy the event but with the help of Ansa I was able to really enjoy and have fun with my guests. Ansa being part of The Linksman teams knows all about party planing and was the biggest help. When I was worried about who to surprise my fiancée when he came in he helped me get my guest ready to say “surprise”, got the monitor ready for my khoot game, helped my guess set up there virtual golf tournaments. I got so many compliments and the atmosphere. Between the golf, arcade game, pool table and etc all my guess with different interests had a good time never needing to worry about a doll moment. Also can’t forget the owner Steve who has such a great response time which was amazing for an over thinking with a million questions and worries. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Wow, what an experience. Not only did we love it, but our guests absolutely raved about the facility. The Linksman truly has everything you could need, and the service was phenomenal. Steve was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and flexible, which made the booking process effortless. Ryan, our host for the evening, was great - he felt less like staff and more like one of our friends. I couldn’t recommend hosting here more highly. The space is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and the vibes are on point. Don’t hesitate to book!

I had a bunch of people get together the day before I got married just to hang out and this was such a great idea. Everyone was able to not only hang out with each other, but get to know each other and have fun at the same time money well spent 100%. We will be coming back for corporate parties and just to have fun.

The Linksman is a great venue and an excellent choice for hosting an event. The space is clean, well-designed, and versatile, making it easy to set up for different types of gatherings. Everything flowed smoothly throughout the event. One thing we really appreciated was having access to resources and links to vendors that work well in the space. We used the recommended taco vendor and bartender, and both were a perfect fit, which made planning and execution simple and stress-free. If you’re looking for a venue that’s functional, stylish, and supported by reliable vendor options, The Linksman is definitely worth considering. Highly recommend!
