Just a year after big plans and bold renderings promised a new era for The Bogey Inn, the proposed golf-themed “entertainment campus” is no longer moving forward.
According to NBC4, Rise Brands has officially scrapped its plans to redevelop the longtime Dublin hangout at 6013 Glick Road. Hana Hesselgesser, who joined the company as CEO in January, called the decision “disappointing” and said the envisioned project was not feasible at the Bogey Inn site, she told NBC4-partner The Columbus Dispatch. A Rise Brands representative also confirmed to NBC4 by phone that the company will not be moving forward with the project.
Back in January 2025, Rise announced plans to transform the former bar and restaurant into a year-round destination featuring indoor and outdoor bars, a food hall, live entertainment, and a 36-hole putting course. The concept was pitched as a collaboration tied to the nearby Memorial Tournament, blending “the timeless tradition of golf with family-friendly fun” while preserving the Bogey Inn name and its long-standing nostalgia.
Dublin’s planning and zoning commission voiced support for the concept in March 2025, encouraging some design tweaks but largely backing the vision. At the time, Rise leaders emphasized their commitment to honoring the original Bogey Inn, which had been a staple in Dublin and neighboring Shawnee Hills for decades.
The Bogey Inn permanently closed in 2022 following the death of its previous owner, though it briefly reopened for limited runs during Memorial Tournament weeks. More than 800 items were auctioned off in October 2024 ahead of the building’s demolition, marking the end of an era for many longtime fans.
While this particular vision for the Glick Road property won’t be coming to life, Hesselgesser said the company remains “excited about the potential of bringing in a golf-related concept under the Rise Brands umbrella,” she told NBC4.
For now, what’s next for the site remains unclear.
