Pinnacle Golf Properties announced it is now managing The Eagles Golf Club near Tampa, Florida.
The golf course management deal, effective Sept. 1, 2025, represents Pinnacle’s second golf club property along Florida’s Gulf Coast region in less than four months. In late May, Pinnacle Golf made its foray into Florida after taking over Serenoa Golf Club in Sarasota. The Eagles Golf Club is owned by The Walden Golf Group, led by principal Steven Schorr, who also partnered with Pinnacle on the Serenoa project.
Located in Odessa just 20 minutes north from the heart of Tampa, The Eagles Golf Club is the only 36-hole daily-fee golf facility in the Tampa Bay market. The club features two distinct 18-hole courses – The Lakes and The Forest – and a full-service clubhouse that serves as the social centerpiece to the namesake 1,300-home residential golf course community.
“This is an exciting next step for Walden Golf Group in Florida,” Schorr said. “The Eagles Golf Club is a premier property with tremendous potential, and we’ve already begun investing in the guest experience to elevate this club to its fullest.
"Pinnacle’s track record of quality and innovation made them the clear choice once again to manage The Eagles. We have full confidence that their team will deliver outstanding results for our members and guests, just as they have at Serenoa.”
Improvements
The new ownership/management team behind The Eagles has already started several significant upgrades to the 36-hole facility. Among the strategic areas that will see vast improvements are playing conditions and course infrastructure.
Pinnacle Golf is implementing enhanced agronomic programs to improve turf quality/ playability, replacing and repairing course bridges and making upgrades to the irrigation system for more efficient water management.
AI operations
An integral part of Pinnacle’s management strategy is leveraging technology to transform the golfer experience. Through their equity partnership in CourseRev.ai, an innovative new golf tech company, Pinnacle and Walden Golf are introducing an AI-powered voice concierge to The Eagles that enables golfers to book tee times 24/7 using natural language. The platform also features intelligent chatbots to answer common questions and dynamic pricing tools to optimize tee-sheet revenue based on demand.
“Building on our success at Serenoa earlier this year, we are thrilled to expand into the Tampa Bay market with The Eagles Golf Club,” Pinnacle CEO David Taylor said. “This club is a remarkable 36-hole facility with a strong community of golfers. It’s exactly the kind of property where Pinnacle can add tremendous value – by enhancing course conditions, embracing innovative operations, and deploying advanced technologies like CourseRev.ai. We’re honored that Walden Golf Group has entrusted us with another one of their courses, and our team is fully committed to exceeding expectations for both ownership and guests.”
