Golfers at the Double Eagle Golf Club south of Eagle Bend have been enjoying a view of the new addition to the clubhouse this summer. Diners have been enjoying the bright clean new dining room inside. The three story addition includes 32’x64’ of dining space and a 20’x32’ kitchen addition. There are living quarters in the upper level. The previous dining room is a more casual congregation area for golfers or diners. The new facility will be open for dining year round and they will be booking Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties.
