History

Traditions at Glen has been in existence since 1918, when it was built as a private residence. Throughout its rich history, the facility has hosted many notable guests, including including Dwight D. Eisenhower, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Bing Crosby. The mansion was purchased in 1935 by IBM, and two years later the 18-hole course was built. It closed 60 years later, in 1995, and sat vacant until it was purchased in 2004. It was renovated and expanded to the beautiful facility it is today.

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner at Traditions in the Spalding Dining Room for about 38 people. Of course, we knew that it would be beautiful because we have been here many times before. A nice little surprise - they provided centerpieces for each table that were very pretty. The food was AMAZING. The staff was very accommodating and did a wonderful job for our event! Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Traditions. They are known as one of (if not THE) best venues in our area and they absolutely stand up to that reputation. We had number of cultural traditions that we wanted to include in the reception and Bridget was so excited to help us find a way to execute everything. Let me tell you- Bridget is a life saver. She is so quick to respond to the silliest questions, she has great recommendations and has an incredible ability to calm your nerves. Joe was there to supervise the night and did such a wonderful job keeping us on rack with our timeline. I know he had a blast! The food was delicious and all of our guests said how much they enjoyed their meals. I know that the reason our wedding was such a success was because of the heart and hard work that each team members puts in.
