Overview
Built by reshaping flat farm fields into gentle hills and valleys, Double Eagle benefits from plenty of elbow room. Some holes have double fairways that pose genuine alternate routes. Greens are benign enough in contours to allow them to be kept extremely fast. A delightfully thoughtful design, it closes with two great water-laden, risk-rewarding holes. The club name does not symbolize a golf term. Original owner John McConnell was a fortune hunter, and the Double Eagle was a rare doubloon discovered in a sunken treasure.

“It is hard to find, but once you do it is well worth it. The Clubhouse is incredible. As an Ohio guy, the names on the lockers were generally familiar. Good luck on finding the pro shop. . Double Eagle is one of the best golf experiences you will ever have. The front 9 is wonderful test of golf, but the back 9 provides a little let down. That being said, it is still one of the best courses in the country so cherish the opportunity if you get the chance to play it."

“The conditioning is outstanding; each hole is very distinctive from the previous while challenging a golfer on every single shot they encounter to the aesthetically pleasing landscaping and vegetation while also providing one of the coolest unique experiences of any course I have played on the 14th tee. As the flag was up, the Tiki Bar was open and we were encouraged to check out a special spot run by the GM of the property and his wife. One of the most unique things I have encountered was this little oasis in their backyard run by a single extension cord. It was a really fun element to an already very special place that you can tell the membership really cherishes."

“Many options on most holes to play tee shots or approach shots differently with how a fairway is bunkered or how the front of most green complexes are left open. Unique fairway design with four holes having some version of a double fairway. Some of the best bunkering you will encounter in the U.S. Very bland greens. Wonderful firm and fast conditioning. A challenging course if one selects the correct set of tees. Recent renovation of irrigation system in 2019. New par-3 course opened October of 2019."

“Conditioning is a priority here, as well as great service. Each spring, they literally hand-pick out any visible sprigs of poa from their greens. They will valet your car, and return it when you have completed your round. A 100 Greatest course for sure. Just an incredible experience."
