What eaglesticks golf club does

EagleSticks Golf Club operates an 18-hole, par-70 public championship golf course on 150 acres in Zanesville, Ohio, approximately one hour east of Columbus. Designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and opened in 1990 on former McClelland family horse farmland, the course features 90 deep bunkers, 100+ feet of elevation change, five par-3 holes, signature cascading waterfalls, and repurposed historic corn crib bridges from the original farm. It is owned and operated by the McClelland family under private ownership, with PGA Director of Golf and General Manager Kelly Morrow leading day-to-day operations.

The core product — public golf on a championship-caliber layout — is augmented by an integrated stack of services: dynamic-pricing online tee time booking (via teeitup.com), the Club 30 annual membership ($279 to join, $23/round, capped at 300 spots), multi-day stay-and-play packages including the 9 Stars of Golf partnership with The Virtues Golf Club, Mac's Sports Grill full daily restaurant and on-course beverage carts, the Oakmont Event Center wedding and banquet venue (up to 400 guests), the Kelly Morrow Golf Academy and Golf Lab Pods indoor instruction studio, an on-site and online pro shop, the recently launched AccuRange driving range app, and the Caddie Notes mobile digital on-course guide. The property also hosts signature events including Ladies Who Brunch, holiday brunches, and Titleist fitting events.

EagleSticks earns revenue through pay-as-you-go dynamic greens fees (primary), F&B, recurring membership fees, packaged multi-day golf trips, corporate and charity outings (Nine & Network, $45–$99 per golfer), wedding and event venue rentals ($250–$5,500), instruction, and retail. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via website booking and phone, supplemented by GolfPass/Golf Advisor listings, OGCOA association membership, and consumer golf trade show presence across Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and Indianapolis. Marketing emphasizes the destination positioning versus local Columbus courses, with consistent accolades from Golf Digest, GolfWeek, and Golf Advisor reinforcing premium public-course positioning.
