Start your own tradition…more than 100 years ago, a tradition of generous hospitality was started at the summer estate of Earl W. Oglebay. In the 1920s, the estate was given to the City of Wheeling and grew into an unparalleled resort. Today, Oglebay offers 1,700 acres of year-round recreational opportunities and excellent overnight accommodations but has retained its picturesque natural beauty. For generations, families, groups and individuals have indulged in the tradition and spirit that make Oglebay unique.
Spend the night at the 271-room Wilson Lodge at Oglebay, featuring 59 new premium rooms, a new full-service spa, casual and fine dining, 24-hour business center, indoor pool, fitness center and wireless Internet. Oglebay also has 54 cottages, including three new eight-bedroom premium cottages, perfect for groups and large families. Groups of ten to four hundred are easily accommodated in Wilson Lodge's modern conference facilities and our friendly, professional staff coordinates and implements all the details necessary to make any conference productive and stress-free.
Oglebay is also the perfect golf destination with thirty-six holes of championship golf at the Speidel Golf Club. Our newest championship course, designed by Arnold Palmer, received a four-and-one-half star rating from Golf Digest. The original championship course designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones, Sr. received a four-star rating. The Golf Club features a fully-stocked pro shop, on-staff golf pro, modern locker facilities, driving range, and grill room. Additional golf amenities at Oglebay include an 18-hole regulation golf course, an 18-hole Par III course and driving range.
Visitors of all ages will be delighted by the Good Zoo at Oglebay with thirty acres of animals, a mile and a half train ride, discovery lab, 0-gauge train exhibit, and multi-media theater. The Mansion Museum (Mr. Oglebay's summer home) and Carriage House Glass Museum and Shop are also highlights of Oglebay. The resort features specialty shops, tennis, an outdoor pool, fishing, pedal boats, miniature golf, stables, environmental center and a zoo. During November and December, the resort glows with more than a million lights during the internationally acclaimed Winter Festival of Lights Holiday Light Show.
The natural beauty of Oglebay can be enjoyed with a stroll along brick walking paths in our magnificent gardens. These gardens are a sixteen-acre recreation of the gardens that existed at the turn of the century when Oglebay was still a private estate. More than 50,000 tulips, hyacinths and daffodils herald spring's arrival and the summer months feature colorful annuals blooming from the beds and dangling from more than two hundred hanging baskets. The gardens' season is brought to a close with a vibrant display of mums in the fall.
