Weddings, Banquets & Special Events

“My husband and I had our wedding reception in the newly built pavilion on May 14th. We were the first wedding reception/event to be held in the new structure, and, despite the unseasonably cold Ohio weather, it was perfect!!! Dennis and Emily were amazing to work with. Emily was extremely helpful with all of the details leading up to the reception as well as on the day of our wedding. I wish she could’ve helped plan our entire wedding! They were both lots of fun, easygoing, and well-organized, making the whole planning process very easy.

The pavilion was beautiful, and the golf course was the perfect setting. Our guests loved the fire pits, as well. We had a perfect day, our guests had a blast, and it was everything we could have hoped for. Despite the weather, everything went smoothly and we were able to enjoy our day stress-free. We even got to enjoy the glow-in-the-dark golf contests and fire pit up by the bar/restaurant area on Friday evening, after our rehearsal! We recommend them without reserve and would do it all over again at AGC. Thank you so much, Dennis, Emily, the bartenders, and the entire support staff!”

Great Course and facilities. The staff is great – Dennis Chelsea Emily are the best. Nice place for an outing. 3 years in a row they keep getting it done better for us. Highly recommend doing an event there.”

“Emily & Dennis, I want to thank you in “writing” so that you have this. YOU AND YOUR STAFF WERE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!! Everyone raved and spoke so highly about the pavilion, course, food, FootJoy! They were all very impressed!!! You made my job a lot easier and I can’t thank you enough! Can’t wait till next year! Although, I need a year to recover…..”

“Thanks to everyone for helping to make our 55th a great evening!”

“Go there almost weekly, had a graduation event there, and have not had a bad experience yet. Food is excellent,beer is “cold”, & the prices are very acceptable.”

“Ashland has needed a place like Shanks! There are not many places in town where you can sit outside to eat and enjoy a beautiful scenery. Also the entertainment is nice as well! The prices are very fair and the clean, friendly environment is exactly what myfiancé and I like! I’m glad we have a place like this so close to our home. Any day of the week and not just the weekends is where Shanks is a great place to spend your lunch/ dinner/ evening night out.”

“These people are AMAZING!! I couldn’t say a single bad thing about Emily, her staff and every employee at Shanks at Ashland Golf Club! They are wonderful and made our wedding reception so memorable. Worth every single penny spent. Exactly how I imagined it.”

“Had my daughter’s wedding reception here on Saturday, and I have to tell you, absolutely amazing staff, great atmosphere, wonderful food, and beautiful facility. The staff blended in with the guest, but never stopped moving and keeping plates and cups cleaned up. I couldn’t have been happier. Even the golf pro/manager for the facility was on hand and helped with everything. I recommend to anyone to call Emily McKinley, the Sales, Marketing and Event Coordinator for all your special events. She is the best there is. Or just stop by for a bite to eat. Their food is amazing in the restaurant”.
