We are thrilled to announce that Heritage Creations will be the official Lunch Sponsor for the upcoming Ohio Golf Conference on March 3rd at the beautiful Westbrook Country Club.

Based right here in Celina, Ohio, Heritage Creations is a powerhouse in the golf industry, providing high-end recognition and branding solutions for some of the most prestigious courses in the world—from Pebble Beach and Winged Foot to local favorites like Shaker Heights and Scioto.

I recently caught up with their VP of Sales, Andy Heffner, to talk about what they are bringing to the conference and why their work is so vital for golf course owners and operators today.

More Than Just a Plaque: The “Museum Quality” Difference

When you walk into a clubhouse, the first thing you look for is the history. Andy refers to their work as “museum quality,” and for good reason. Whether it’s a massive champion panel handcrafted from cherry or mahogany, or a custom 3D trophy, their team in Celina combines old-world craftsmanship with modern passion.

“You can’t teach someone how to be passionate,” Andy told me. “When you look at woodworking and engraving and you see people actually working with their hands, it’s incredibly impressive.”

In an era that feels increasingly digital, Heritage Creations is keeping the tactile legacy of golf alive. Their champion panels are built to last 50 or 60 years, ensuring that the history of your club—and your members—is preserved for generations.

The Future of the Clubhouse: Heritage Interactive Touchscreens (HIT)

While they honor tradition, Heritage is also leading the way in innovation. Attendees at the conference will have a unique “show and tell” experience at Westbrook Country Club.

Westbrook features the Heritage Interactive Touchscreens (HIT)—a series of 65-inch immersive displays. These aren’t “grandpa’s country club” monitors; they are high-definition portals that can:

• Showcase course flyovers and designer history (perfect for those Donald Ross fans!).

• Act as a membership sales tool by highlighting wedding amenities and event spaces.

• Scroll through club history from the late 1800s to today in a vivid, life-size format.

Meet the Team Behind the Craft

Heritage isn’t just sending a banner; they’re sending their best. Along with Andy, we’ll be joined by owner Brad Meyer and Project Manager Mercy Elam.

Mercy was the visionary shepherd for the Westbrook project, and she’ll be on-site to discuss how to turn your club’s vision into reality—whether you need a 200-page catalog of tee gifts and crystal or a custom, one-of-a-kind installation.

Join Us for Lunch!

As our lunch sponsor, Heritage Creations will be showcasing a special video presentation in the Westbrook pavilion. It’s a great opportunity to see the breadth of their work while networking with your peers.
