PGA Director of Golf Dan Hoban offers a well-stocked golf shop to accomodate the needs of golfers of all levels. The golf shop partners with major golf vendors such as Titleist, Nike, Greg Norman Collection, Footjoy, Ahead,  Page and Tuttle, and Tour Edge to stock the shop. Custom fitting and special ordering are available through the golf shop. 

Hoban returns to Middletown after 10 years as the General Manager/Head Golf Professional of John F. Byrne Golf Club in Northeast Philadelphia. He is a Class A member of the PGA of America.  Prior to his stint at Byrne, Hoban was an assistant professional at Middletown under his mentor Don Beardsley, now the PGA Head Professional and General Manager at Broad Run Golf Club near West Chester, PA. Dan began his golf business career at Walnut Lane Golf Club in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia at age 14, where he learned the game from the age of 6.

Hoban is also the head golf coach at Philadelphia’s Roman Catholic High School, where he is a 1992 graduate and a two-time All-Catholic League Golf selection. He was inducted into the Roman Catholic High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. Dan also played collegiate golf at LaSalle University, where he graduated in 1996 and was the captain of the Explorers golf team under Coach Joe Boyle in his senior year.  Dan nows plays in some Philadelphia Section PGA events during the season along with the Atlantic Winter Tour in the off-season. The 2008-09 season saw Hoban win three times on the Winter Tour.

“I enjoyed my time at Middletown right after college and I always said that if the opprtunity to return there ever came, I would go back. I am ever grateful to my former company president Bud Connors, who selected me to move to Middletown out of college to learn under Don Beardsley, one of the best PGA Professionals around. Fortunately, the chance came to return when Rick Begley acquired the club and I am extremely grateful that Rick gave me the opportunity and I’ve enjoyed every day since. There are so many great people here at Middletown and working here is truly fun,” Hoban said.

The club revitalized the Men’s Golf Association in the 2008 season and had a fifteen tournament schedule including a Club Championship and a Ryder Cup event named in memory of longtime member Pete Fazio, nephew of former club owner and golf course architect George Fazio. Middletown also hosts the Middletown CC Ladies Golf Association every Tuesday morning from April through October. The club also has many leagues that play on weekday afternoons from spring through fall.
