Catering at The Ranch at Desert Lakes.
18-hole course with clubhouse banquet room + "The Turn" bar; $75-100/hr. Indoor + outdoor. Banquet room ~60; larger events contemplated.
Catering policy: Good news is on the venue's own paperwork (bar is in-house) - own site: "Food may be brought in without a corkage fee. No outside beverages allowed." Event insurance required for weddings/100+ events). Outside catering is permitted, which puts the menu entirely in your hands.
Lodge and resort settings usually mean real prep space and long guest lists, both welcome. The buffet scales, the carving station earns its keep, and timing follows the venue's event book.
The crew treats every venue's rules as the playbook: load-in windows, kitchen access, cleanup standards. Food arrives hot, the buffet runs itself with staff behind it, and the per-person prices printed on this site are the prices quoted.
Planning tip: ask what the rental includes, tables, chairs, and cleanup standards especially. Whatever the venue does not provide, the catering plan can absorb.
