I would recommend the 3:45pm to sunset option if you are going in the summer time. The whole grassy area and patio is in the shade which was so nice. The life guards are friendly and we were able to try all the jumps around the area. 30$ per person, including the 5$ reservation fee. It's cash only once you're there, so plan ahead. When we arrived, we also got a 5$ coupon for the restaurant so technically it's like 25$ a person if you end up buying food. The food was reasonably priced and was good quality. They have beer on tap too that was 6$ for about a 12oz. Lots of areas to jump off and space to swim around without it being too crowded. You'll have to do a swim test which is really easy. You jump in, swim to the platform, tread water for 1min, and then swim to the exit ladder.

I've swam in quarry's 20x bigger easily. This was MAYBE the size of a 50 meter pool ( Olympic). 2 places to jump in, there was no swing into the water, no zip line. No diving boards. No rock or beach area at water level. A small platform in the middle. Overall just not impressive at all. I can see why they have a 10-3 and 3:45 to close swim splits as it's so small it would become very crowded. I can see it would be a good place for locals to take a dip but at $30 plus you have to buy all food drinks there. Bathrooms were clean. Overall not a great experience

Karen & Jerry are absolute gems. They were kind, accommodating, and incredibly easy to work with from day one.

Their level of care and attention made the whole experience feel effortless. The venue itself is beautiful, but it's the people behind it who truly make it exceptional.

Incredibly disappointed with my experience trying to plan a wedding here…read more They recently changed their policy to allow only one exclusive caterer unless you are willing to pay the exorbitant $500 outsourcing fee. I was a bit apprehensive about this to begin with, but I was reassured that this caterer (Bouk) was the best, both in terms of food and customer service. I wish I could say the food was good, but in two months I was never even able to schedule a tasting with them. The communication was poor and it seemed like the only time I heard from the caterer with any concrete information was after I brought my complaints to the citizen's center. I put my complaints in writing and forwarded them to the center and when I asked if we could rearrange the reservation so that we could still have our ceremony in the garden and have our reception elsewhere (so that I didn't have to cancel the whole thing), I was basically gently encouraged to cancel and "move forward with a different option." Essentially I was being told that everyone (including the supervisor) thought it would be best for me not to have any part of my wedding at the Mack Center. I couldn't believe how unwelcoming that felt. It appears that the caterer's busy schedule took precendnt over a satisfied customer...a bride-to-be no less. Although they basically gave me no options on how to resolve the situation outside of cancelling, they still processed the cancellation with the 50% rent fee. Although I realize this is the contact I signed and their standard policy, they didn't even apologize. No effort made to help. Honestly, I'm sure the Mack Center would have been a great venue. The staff was great...at the beginning. But since they have changed their policy it seems like they may be willing to jeopardize their reputation with customers to preserve their new relationship with Bouk catering. There are a lot of other wonderful venues in the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas that are affordable and give you options for catering...that way, if you don't have a good experience with one, you are not blacklisted from the venue all together.

This was my first visit ever to the Coach House Venue. My review is on the venue only and not the…read moreevent I attended there. I am sure the venue played a huge part in making the wedding I attended there as magical as it was. The location- The venue was built on acreage in the middle of no where. That is not bad thing. It is convenient to get and not far off the beaten path but the land it sits on it unspoiled by development . This setting would be impossible to duplicate in an urban area surrounded by buildings and visual city noise. The grounds- they provide a copious amount of parking at the top of the campus. We had parking attendants guiding us to or place to park. From the parking area we immediately got a panoramic view of the vast space in its unobstructed entirety. As we walked past the inside indoor building we signed a guest book and proceeded to "The Garden" for the ceremony. The grass around the inside areas and under the tents was dark green pure fescue. The grass and the landscaping was perfectly manicured. The grass in the garden area was neatly mowed all the way to the pond on the far end of the property. The combination of hills, trees, and evening sky created a backdrop impossible to recreate by man. They had a fire pit burning beside the cocktail area that was tastefully done and surrounded by white wooden adirondack chairs. There wasn't a single area on the grounds that needed attention. The inside space- the large inside venue space provides a versatile area for your event. The inside offers over 3000 square feet of space. The wedding I attended used this area for the reception. It had retractable doors on the side that opened up to a huge tent area. There was the buffet area and dining tables. The main inside space also hosted the DJ and the dance floor. The inside area has a caterer's area. They have bride's suite upstairs and a groom's area that are apart from each other. The lighting, setup, decor, colors, and everything about the inside area is opulent. The bar- they have created a bar area with a large deck area. The bartender area is covered and well lit. The rest of the deck area is open and doesn't obstruct the view. The wedding setup- we walked to "The Garden" area where we saw a wedding arch embellished with beautiful flowers and white fabric. A grassy aisle divided 200 white folding chairs arranged in rows. The landscape was gradually going downhill and ending at a large pond at the base of the woods. Before we entered the seating area we passes the stringed musicians playing the preservice music. They continued to play until us guests made our way to our table assignment. During the cocktail hour the wedding pictures were made. The sun was setting in the background creating a picturesque moment. The venue has also created several photo-perfect areas for wedding photographers. We stayed till the very end. The rural darkness created a great sendoff as the newlyweds left us as we lined up and lit sparklers. Click on the photos and expand them for a truer picture.
