Heritage Golf Club

What Heritage Golf Club does

Heritage Golf Club is a single-location private country club located at 3525 Heritage Club Dr in Hilliard, Ohio. Founded in 1994, the club operates an 18-hole championship golf course alongside casual and upscale dining facilities, a programmed calendar of social and family events, and dedicated event-hosting services covering weddings, corporate meetings, and golf tournaments. The club employs approximately 93 staff and serves members and event clients drawn from the Hilliard, Ohio community and surrounding Midwest region.

The company is owned and operated by Invited Clubs (formerly ClubCorp), one of the largest private club operators in the United States. Through this parent relationship, Heritage Golf Club members gain access to the Invited Network of more than 300 country clubs and business clubs nationwide, plus special offerings at more than 1,000 hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues. On-site operations are led by General Manager Rob Smyser (since 2022) and Membership Director Steve Sefner (since 2018), with prospective members acquired primarily through direct outreach, tour scheduling, and the Invited Clubs digital properties.

Heritage Golf Club generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring membership dues (subscription), food and beverage from dining operations, and event hosting fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted upon inquiry. The club's distribution is regional and direct, with sales handled through its own membership staff and the Invited Clubs member portal (ClubLine and member login). No proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, or public financial disclosures are available; the business model is asset-heavy, anchored by the physical golf course and clubhouse infrastructure.
