Dutch Hollow Golf Club

What Dutch Hollow Golf Club does

Dutch Hollow Country Club is a privately held semi-private golf club located at 1839 Benson Rd in Owasco, New York. Founded by Bill and Patty Galloway as proprietors, the club operates on an 18-hole course designed by Wilfred S. Hall, measuring 6,500 yards from the blue tees with a par 71 and slope rating of 120. A full irrigation system covers each green, tee, and fairway and supports consistent course quality. The club supports multiple tee positions (Blue, White, Gold, Red) to accommodate a range of skill levels.

The revenue model is diversified across five streams: annual membership subscriptions granting unlimited play and 13-day advance booking privileges, public green fees, a full-service bar and restaurant with a 120-seat banquet room, a pro shop carrying major brand equipment (Callaway, Ping, Titleist) and apparel, and event hosting for corporate outings, private parties, and tournaments. Members receive reciprocal playing privileges at 33 affiliated golf clubs across New York State, materially extending the value of a single membership. The customer base is composed of individual golfers and small-group bookers from Central New York communities including Auburn, Camillus, Marcellus, Manlius, Moravia, Skaneateles, and Syracuse.

In 2026, the club underwent an ownership transition when Bill Galloway sold the course to new owners while remaining employed at the club. The club ran its full 2026 tournament slate (Member-Member, Member-Guest, Ladies Member-Member) alongside expanded formats including Captain and Crew, Best Ball, and Scotch, and weekly Friday Couples events. The Two Man Scramble was paused for the year. Marketing is concentrated on a Facebook page, a Play Golf America affiliate badge, and word-of-mouth. No institutional investment, venture capital, or PE involvement is indicated.

• Troon: Largest third-party golf course management company in the world. Relevant as a broad incumbent illustrating what scaled, professionally managed golf facilities look like — and a potential acquirer/manager for independent semi-private clubs like Dutch Hollow.
