The Lake Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can non-members play a round at The Lake Club, and what's the best way to arrange it?

Getting on The Lake Club as a non-member usually requires an invitation from a current member, so start networking! We've found that sometimes reciprocal agreements with other private clubs can open doors, or inquire about any stay-and-play packages if they're affiliated with a local luxury resort. It's a truly exclusive experience, and worth the effort to secure a tee time.

What are the most memorable holes at The Lake Club, especially those showcasing its namesake lake?

You absolutely can't miss the stretch from holes 14 through 17; they truly embody The Lake Club's name with stunning, strategic carries over the water. The par-3 15th, in particular, demands precision with the lake guarding the front and right, offering breathtaking views that might just distract you from your swing. It's a beautiful challenge that defines the back nine.

How challenging is The Lake Club for different handicaps, and how do the water features come into play?

The Lake Club presents a fair but firm challenge, especially when the wind picks up off the water, so don't underestimate it. While the course is impeccably maintained and offers multiple tee boxes for varying skill levels, those lake hazards are always lurking, demanding thoughtful shot placement rather than just raw power. You'll need to bring your A-game, particularly on approach shots where water often dictates your strategy.

When is the ideal time of year to experience The Lake Club's course conditions and scenery?

We highly recommend visiting The Lake Club in late spring or early fall; the course conditions are typically pristine, and the weather is perfect for golf without the intense summer heat or humidity. You'll find the foliage around the lake is vibrant, adding another layer of beauty to an already picturesque round. Plus, it's often less crowded than peak summer, allowing for a more relaxed pace.

Beyond the course, what should we expect from The Lake Club's clubhouse and dining experience?

The clubhouse at The Lake Club is just as impressive as the course itself, offering a refined yet welcoming atmosphere perfect for unwinding after your round. We always make a point to enjoy a meal on the patio overlooking the 18th green and the lake; the menu features excellent local fare, and the service is always top-notch. It’s a fantastic place to recap your birdies and bogeys in style.
