During my first wedding at Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City (Columbus Ohio, I had no idea what to expect except for the fact that Pinnacle is a golf course. This was far and away the best golf course wedding venue I have ever photographed as a wedding photographer in Columbus Ohio.
The wedding and reception venue is in a historic mansion-looking clubhouse just 5 minutes from I-71 and I-270. The grand ballroom has a separate entrance from the restaurant and clubhouse and is an easy walk from the massive parking lot. Upon entering a large hallway lobby that was used for two bars and a guest / present table, I saw the grand ballroom. It is unlike most other reception halls. It has three of four walls with giant windows for natural light. Four large chandeliers light up this beautiful neutral-toned room with room for 250+. There is ample room for all the guests, dancing, a DJ, and a buffet.
In the attached clubhouse is a restaurant with indoor seating and two large patios overlooking the golf course. There is a beautiful grand staircase that is perfect for beautiful bridal portraits in Columbus. Between the restaurant and grand ballroom is a courtyard featuring the ballroom windows on the left, a stone archway to the back, large green shrubs to the right, and a metal archway to the front. It was the perfect place to take bridal party photos and family photos on the wedding day.
