Meet the Vendor: New Era Golf

With six golf clubs in its portfolio, New Era Golf is a powerhouse of this particular genre of wedding venue. There’s Bent Tree Golf Club in Sunbury, Clover Valley Golf Club in Johnstown, Glenross Golf Club in Delaware, Royal American Links in Galena (which graciously hosted a recent photo shoot for us), Golf Club of Dublin and New Albany Links. We chatted with Lisa Johnson to learn more about the lovely properties.

Who are the event coordinators at the six venues?

Shannon Riffe takes care of business at Glenross, Jackie Packer is at Bent Tree, and I handle the other four!

What added hospitality features at New Era do couples find pleasing?

Treating their guests specially, with greetings and butler-passed appetizers; bridal party appetizer platters before they enter the reception—since they typically are taking photos during cocktail hour—packing their décor items for them and even holding them for a few days if needed.
