Great news for both seasoned golfers and those looking to take up the game! Doubles Golf—an exciting, fast-paced format that emphasizes teamwork and camaraderie—is expanding across the Miami Valley in 2025 following a successful pilot in 2024. With more courses adopting this dynamic style of play, golfers of all skill levels will have even more opportunities to enjoy a format that makes the game more fun, social, and competitive.

Doubles Golf, developed by Jack Nicklaus and his team, is played in a two-person, scramble format. This unique approach to the game fosters inclusivity, speeds up play, and brings a fresh dynamic to the traditional golf experience. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, Doubles Golf provides an exciting way to compete, bond with a partner, and sharpen your skills in a relaxed setting.

The expansion of Doubles Golf in the Miami Valley means that more courses will be offering organized leagues, tournaments, and open play opportunities. Golfers can look forward to:

• More Local Events – Increased participation from courses across the Miami Valley, allowing for greater accessibility and competition.
• A Fun, Social Atmosphere – Perfect for friends, couples, or parent-child duos looking to enjoy the game together.
• Quicker Rounds – The Doubles format allows for a faster pace of play, making it ideal for those with busy schedules.
• Competitive and Casual Play – Whether you're aiming for a championship title or just out for fun, there's a level of play for everyone.

"We are thrilled to see the growth of Doubles Golf in our community," said Patrick Kirkland, PGA, General Manager/Head Professional at Echo Hills GC in Piqua. "It’s a format that welcomes everyone and aligns perfectly with our mission to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for all players."

In the public course space, we have partnered with Twilight Golf who refer to their doubles leagues as Twilight D’s.  In the private club space, a number of clubs are embracing this format and we also have one-day events in partnership with Ohio Double’s Co-Founder Brandon Johnson.

The 2025 season will feature new league opportunities, club-hosted Doubles Golf nights, and qualifying events for regional, state and national competitions. Players can form their own teams or find a partner through participating in courses.
