In twenty five states from coast to coast to the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan and spanning more than three decades, the Morningstar Team has amassed unparalleled experience operating all types of private clubs and golf courses.

As owners, investors, managers or advisors we have been fortunate to oversee exciting projects including USGA, PGA, LPGA and European PGA Tour event host sites, national-championship caliber equestrian venues and exclusive sporting clubs.

With experience managing every facet of club and hospitality operations, from the visible front-of-the-house to the unseen, but vital, back-of-the-house, our team of experienced professionals literally brings a world of experience to every project.

The Morningstar Team is headed by President & CEO, Matthew Galvin.  Mr. Galvin closely directs all operations of MGH and leads a core group of key team members who are experts in their respective disciplines.  Prior to forming Morningstar Matthew was a principal with an owner and operator of high quality golf courses and country clubs with properties from New York to Florida.  Matthew also served in several project management positions of increasing responsibility for the nation’s then-largest owner and operator of golf courses, American Golf Corporation, and its sister company, National Golf Properties.  He was instrumental in the company’s growth from 47 courses to 111 courses in three years, representing investments in excess of $300 million.
 
Mr. Galvin also served as project co-manager under a multi-year contract to manage more than $1.5 billion worth of resort and golf properties owned by the Resolution Trust Company prior to their eventual sale, which included notable assets such as the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, the Kiawah Island Resort, PGA West and Mission Hills Resort.
 
Mr. Galvin is a past president and director of the National Golf Course Owners Association.  He is also a past board member of T-Links, a leading tee-time reservation business.  In 2020 Matthew was named to the Board of Lyman farms, Inc. where he currently serves as Chairman. Founded in 1741, Lyman is one of the oldest continuously operating family owned companies in the US, with interest in wholesale and retail food production, agritainment and golf club operations.
 
Matthew is a recognized expert in the club industry and has spoken at industry events, been interviewed by publications such as Forbes and Barrons and has served as an expert witness in industry-related litigation.  Mr. Galvin holds an MBA from Pepperdine University and a BA from the University of New Hampshire.  He has also completed additional coursework in real estate finance at New York University as well as the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
