Double Eagle Golf Club

What Double Eagle Golf Club does

Double Eagle Golf Club is a private, invitation-only golf club operating a single 18-hole championship course in Galena, Ohio (6025 Cheshire Road). Founded in 1992 by John H. McConnell, the course was designed by Jay Morrish, ASGCA, and Tom Weiskopf and measures 7,330 yards from the longest tees at par 72, with a course rating of 74.9 and a slope rating of 139 on Bentgrass. The club's primary offering is exclusive membership access to the course; private membership pricing is not disclosed. Secondary activity centers on the annual Birdies for Buddies charity golf tournament, held each August since 2013, which has raised more than $2.9 million cumulatively for prostate cancer research at the MD Anderson Cancer Center Foundation and OhioHealth Foundation. The tournament operates in a scramble format with handicaps and is open to non-members via individual ($2,700) and foursome ($10,000) entry tiers.

The business model relies on membership dues as the primary revenue source, supplemented by event-related income from tournament participants and corporate sponsorships. Customer segments consist of private members (primary) and tournament participants (secondary). The club maintains a stable roster of five corporate sponsors — OhioHealth, MD Anderson Cancer Center, The Champions Companies, Worthington Steel, and Worthington Enterprises — for the annual fundraiser. Distribution is direct: members are admitted by invitation, while tournament access is marketed through the club's website (doubleeagleclub.net) and email outreach. Marketing channels are limited to the club's website, the annual tournament event, and corporate sponsor relationships; no other geographic or product expansion is evident.

The company is independently owned with no parent, subsidiaries, or institutional capital structure disclosed. It employs 37 people and reports no technology platform, integrations, or AI/ML capabilities — operations are centered on physical course management and member services. Operating geographies are limited to the Midwest United States, specifically the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area.
