Weddings, Reunions, Retreats and
Conferences. The distractions of holding
meetings at the corporate
office can be overwhelming. Cell
phones ring,
assistants interrupt and attendees make the five o'clock dash to become one with the daily rush hour. But at Glendorn, the prime brainstorming time tends to be between 6 and 11p.m. during
cocktails and
dinner. Get away from it all for some blue-sky thinking where distractions are minimal, except maybe for a bald eagle or blue heron fly by. Our on-site activities for individual and team building --fly-fishing, trap shooting,
tennis, and skeet shooting--are real ice breakers for the uninitiated. Let us help you design an agenda for a successful
meeting. For groups of up to 50 persons, Glendorn's private and secure site is ideal for your personal or

golf course designer during the golden age of
golf in America. Mr. Travis designed all the major courses in Western New York and Southern Ontario during the early part of the 20th century. Penn Hills is a fine example of unique Travis signatures: greens with challenging undulations, ingenious layouts that maximize the available landscape, and dramatically placed greens sites. The magnificent, castle-like
club house features a
dining room,
bar, and locker
rooms. Penn Hills is located 20-minutes from Glendorn and we provide complimentary car service to and from the
club. Advance tee-times are strongly recommended.
