Lakeside Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to experience Lakeside Country Club's course conditions?

We recommend visiting Lakeside in early fall, typically September through October. The summer humidity has usually broken, the greens are pristine after peak season play, and the mature trees around the fairways begin to show stunning color, making for truly picturesque rounds.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Lakeside, and what makes it unique?

The biggest challenge at Lakeside is undoubtedly navigating the prevailing winds off the main lake, especially on holes 7 through 11. These holes demand precise club selection and a thoughtful approach, as the water isn't just scenic-it's very much in play.

Is Lakeside Country Club accessible to non-members, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Lakeside is a private club, but you can often secure a tee time by playing with a member or through reciprocal agreements if your home club has one. Expect green fees to be on the higher end, typically in the $250-$350 range, reflecting the immaculate conditions and exclusive experience.

Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at Lakeside's clubhouse or 19th hole?

The clubhouse at Lakeside strikes a perfect balance-it's elegant without being stuffy. You'll find a relaxed atmosphere in the Grill Room, perfect for recounting your round over a craft beer and some excellent local fare, especially their signature lakeside fish tacos.

What's one practical tip or hidden gem I should know before my round at Lakeside?

Pay close attention to the pin positions on the par-3 14th hole; it's deceptively tricky with a multi-tiered green that can turn a good shot into a three-putt if you're on the wrong level. Also, don't miss the views from the back patio after your round-they're spectacular.
