In golf, it’s hard to keep your head down. Especially when the course is this beautiful.

Since Donald Ross first finished Lakeside Park Club over 100 years ago, the course has been an enduring testament to quality design. Today, LPC still holds up as not only a challenging 18 holes, but an enjoyable “walk in the park.” Often, our members play a quick round and still have a fall day ahead of them. The fairways are immaculate and the greens are often described as the fastest, most tricky surfaces in Richmond. All in all, golfers of every skill level can find something to love at LPC.

Scorecard

Our 18 hole, par 71 course is unmatched in playing conditions owing to our superintendent’s tremendous attention to detail and our renovated bent grass greens. The walkable course with five sets of tee boxes provides a challenge for all ages and skill levels.

Practice Facility

Lakeside Park Club offers a number of practice options. A full driving range, chipping and putting area is located adjacent to the 8th tee. A short game practice area sits near the 16th hole. And a new state of the art driving range simulator and launch monitor has been installed in the clubhouse to fine tune your game all year round.

Lakeside Women’s Golf Association

The LWGA is open to all amateur women golfers, regardless of age, who are LPC golf members. The group promotes sportsmanship and thru friendly leagues and tournaments. Two leagues play weekly from April thru September: 18 holes on Tuesday mornings and 9 holes on Thursdays after work. Six annual tournaments with a variety of formats appeal to golfers of all abilities:

Men’s Golf Association

Camaraderie, sportsmanship and friendly golf opportunities for all members are the cornerstones of the Lakeside Park Men’s Golf Association (MGA). Six events are scheduled on weekends April thru November.

Prizes will be awarded per event in both cash and pro shop credit. Throughout the season, player’s point totals are tracked on a net basis (similar to the Fed Ex Cup) as well as awards and final payouts for the Top 10 players.

Junior PGA

Lakeside Park Club participates in the PGA Jr. League – a welcoming team format that creates an environment for every child to become a golfer. Our team is open to ages 6 thru 13 of all abilities. The recreational nature of the regular season provides opportunities for skill and character development - on and off course - in addition to plenty of opportunities for fun with friends.

Playing from the family tees, our team is all about the recreational and developmental nature of regular season games, held between March 1 and July 31. During the course of one game, teams play four 9-hole matches in a popular two-person scramble format, reinforcing the team concept and creating a nurturing environment for learning the game. Coaches can also substitute players every three holes, so that all of our golfers participate.
