What victoria national golf club does

Victoria National Golf Club is a private, members-only golf resort located in Newburgh, Indiana, and one of seven properties in the Dormie Network portfolio. The asset centers on an 18-hole, 7,209-yard Tom Fazio-designed championship course built in 1998 on a reclaimed 418-acre coal mine site, with a course rating of 77, slope of 148, and bentgrass tees, fairways, and greens. The course is distinguished by "The Gauntlet" - a five-hole closing stretch (holes 14-18) widely recognized as among the most difficult in American golf - and by extensive water features holding more than 500 million gallons across lakes and lagoons. The property ranked #1 Best Course in Indiana (Golf Digest 2025) and #60 Greatest Courses in America (Golf Digest 2025), #1 Best Private Course in Indiana (Golfweek 2025), and #59 Best Modern Course in the U.S. (Golfweek 2026).

Revenue is generated through a subscription-based private membership model operated at the parent Dormie Network level; members pay recurring dues for access to all seven network properties, with Victoria National monetizing additional streams including 68 beds of cottage lodging (10 Dormie Cottages at 1,670 sq ft and 5 Premier Cottages at 2,150 sq ft), chef-prepared Midwestern cuisine under Executive Chef Trey Trice, a golf shop carrying premium apparel brands, professional caddie and forecaddie services, and a full concierge program covering airport transfers, bourbon tastings, and corporate event coordination. Access is invitation-only, with a 75-mile residency restriction from any network club to preserve the destination-travel positioning.

The company is currently in a multi-year capital investment cycle, with construction of a 28,000 square foot two-level clubhouse announced in March 2026; demolition begins November 2026 upon season close, and completion is targeted for early 2028. The new facility, designed by Sinclair Hille with a geothermal ground-source heat pump system, will add a primary dining room (64 seats), private dining, Café Vic, an Owner's Lounge with golf simulator, locker rooms, and an expanded golf shop. The club is led by General Manager Brad Wilson, Assistant General Manager Kari Rogers, and Executive Chef Trey Trice, with all operations running through the Dormie Network parent organization headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska.
