The Patriot Golf Club

What The Patriot Golf Club does

The Patriot Golf Club is a private, equity-partner-owned membership golf and lifestyle club located in Owasso, Oklahoma (Owasso/Tulsa metro), operating on land donated by the Oxley family's Greenhill Properties and the Owasso Land Trust within Stone Canyon, Oklahoma's largest planned unit development (2,700+ acres). Founded by Lt. Col Dan Rooney (Folds of Honor) and David Charney in 2009 and opened on May 19, 2010, the club is built around a 19-hole Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed championship course spanning 7,158 yards, with each hole named after an American patriot. The club's identity is anchored by a patriotic mission, including a daily 1300 Hours ceremony that pauses all activity for the playing of Taps and 13 bell chimes representing the folds of the American flag.

The product portfolio combines a tiered membership architecture (Executive, Young Executive, Senior, Corporate, Social, Regional, National), premium hospitality amenities (clubhouse, pool with semi-private cabanas, The Market, The Cellar Club wine program, pro shop, and three luxury cottages operated by Folds of Honor), and a full-service event business (Founders Hall accommodating up to 300 guests with catering, A/V, and coordination). Revenue is generated through one-time initiation fees, recurring monthly dues, guest and forecaddie fees ($120 base plus gratuity), wedding and event bookings, cottage rentals, F&B across multiple outlets, and merchandise. Distribution is direct via a Membership Director and website inquiry forms, with no third-party reseller or digital channel layer.

The club is owned by a group of equity partners (Paul Sisemore as Managing Equity Partner, David Bond, Sanjay Meshri, Dan Rooney, John Rooney, Tom Russell, Eddy Gibbs, and the Owasso Land Trust) and operates with 251-500 employees. Its market is structurally local with reach extended through Regional (40-100 miles) and National (>100 miles) membership tiers and significant initiation discounts for military, first responders, Stone Canyon residents, and legacy/descendant members. The competitive position is reinforced by the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course design pedigree, the Folds of Honor affiliation, and exclusive use of Founders Hall as a regional event venue.
