History
Olde Homestead Golf Club has a rich and vibrant history. The Bank Barn, which was built over 125 years ago, was originally used for hay, straw, and livestock. The family that owned the land stopped farming in the late 1980s, but Carl D. Snyder kept his collection of 30 antique wagons in the barn. Many of the other facilities, such as The Potato Barn, still have parts of the original structure. Old Homestead’s Clubhouse is also a restored 1910 farmhouse, featuring a 1700's summer kitchen.
Location
This venue is minutes from Allentown, the Lehigh Valley Zoo and Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. Downtown Philadelphia and Philadelphia International Airport are both 75 minutes away.

Even through the hardship of a pandemic and all the extra stress that went along with it, we could not possibly imagine our wedding taking place anywhere other than Olde Homestead. From our very first visit where we saw the beautiful sweeping vistas and rolling hills that surrounded the venue, we absolutely fell in love. And through our special day we watched each of our guests have exactly the same experience, being swept away by the gorgeous surroundings, drawn in by the timeless historical buildings that dot the property, and enraptured by the loving attention that the staff clearly pay to everything.
Jill was our day of event planner and I could not imagine having done everything without her, as she remained a singular calming presence among a sea of weather uncertainty and a million little details that would have drowned us otherwise. Leah, the Director of Hospitality, and Justin, who I believe is the owner, also made appearances on the day of, helping settle final details and ensure that everything went smooth and according to plan. From the higher ups to the servers and bartenders, everyone was awesome, and it felt like they all went out of their way to make the day special.
Some of that might sound hyperbolic but all in all, we just can't believe how wonderful an experience they made it from start to finish. The food was incredible, the prices for everything were honestly more than fair, and as stated the level of service was truly above and beyond. Even with some extra requirements we had from the pandemic, it felt like they bent over backwards to make sure we had the best experience we could have, and boy did they deliver!

Gorgeous views, delicious food, and a caring staff.
Olde Homestead Golf Club was the first and last place we looked at during our venue search. We were immediately taken away with the gorgeous views and caring staff. The staff truly cared about making our wedding day as special as possible. The food and service was absolutely amazing. Seriously, I had the best egg plant parmesan I’ve ever had in my life. A lot of my guests also told us that they were amazed by the food! There was a lovely server who continued to make sure my husband and I always had a drink in our hand, which we thought was hilarious, and our planner Jill continued to check in and make sure everything was running on time and even helped my husband plan a surprise performance. If you want delicious food and a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding I would definitely check out Olde Homestead Golf Club. They allowed us to really personalize our wedding and make every detail special.
