The Placerville Elks Lodge #1712 has been earning five-star praise for exactly the reason you'd expect: walk through the door and someone smiles at you. Reviewers consistently call it friendly and welcoming, and that reputation isn't accidental. It's the result of members who genuinely show up, week after week, to build something worth belonging to.

Situated at 3821 Quest Ct in Shingle Springs, the lodge serves as the social anchor for the surrounding El Dorado County foothill community. From class reunions to charity fundraisers, the event calendar fills up because the Emblem Club #287 and fellow members keep programming it with things people actually want to attend. Taco and Trivia nights, Sunday Bingo at 1 p.m., and the beloved "burn your own steak" cookouts give members a reason to come back every single week.

With a 4.7-star rating across 48 reviews, Lodge #1712 isn't coasting on tradition alone. It's an active, living organization where new faces are welcomed and longtime members are celebrated. If you've been looking for a place to connect with your neighbors and give back to your community, this is where that starts.

What We Offer

Lodge #1712 packs its calendar with events that range from low-key to legendary. Taco and Trivia Night draws competitive teams and casual players alike, while the first-Sunday Bingo session at 1 p.m. has become a reliable ritual for regulars across the foothills. The "burn your own steak" cookouts deliver exactly what they promise: good meat, open grills, and the kind of conversation that only happens around a flame.

Beyond the fun, the lodge offers a versatile event venue available for private gatherings. The Ponderosa 55 Class Reunion is just one example of the milestone moments hosted here, with staff consistently praised for their warmth and professionalism. Whether your group needs a banquet hall, a meeting room, or a full-service event night, the facilities at Quest Ct are ready.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks also connects you to a nationwide network of community service, scholarship programs, and veterans support. Lodge #1712 participates actively in those missions, making every membership dollar go well beyond the next trivia night.

"I'm a member of the Emblem Club of Placerville. We are a community service organization and have a lot of events to help raise things for our community. We use the Elks Lodge for our meetings as well as attend the Elks held events. The Elks Lodge is a wonderful location to hold events. It has a kitchen and a bar and plenty of space. The Elks themselves, although I'm a new member of the Emblem Club and am still learning about the Elks Lodge, I know they provide the largest amount of scholarships to students besides the federal government and do a lot to support the veterans."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
