Double Eagle

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Definition: A double eagle is a score of three under par on any individual hole. Double eagles are extremely rare, more rare, in fact, than aces. To record a double eagle, a player would have to ace a par-4 hole or make a 2 on a par-5 hole.
Also Known As: Called an "albatross" in the U.K.
