Unique Club/Facility Details

Lakeside Park Club traces its roots to the 1890s, when tobacco magnate Major Lewis Ginter built Lakeside Park to draw people to Richmond’s northern suburbs, complete with clubhouses, boat houses, a bowling alley, a pavilion, a restaurant, and a zoo. The park opened to the public on March 15, 1896, and Richmonders rode the streetcar out to enjoy it. Ginter’s venture even gave the surrounding neighborhood its name. 

Today, as one of Virginia’s oldest private clubs, founded in 1896, Lakeside Park Club celebrates 130 years as a member-owned gathering place. Golf remains at its heart on an original Donald Ross–designed course, alongside a lakeside pool and snack bar, tennis, pickleball, and a full calendar of social events and tournaments. 

What sets Lakeside apart is its spirit. This is a club built on friendship rather than formality: a relaxed, welcoming place where families and neighbors gather, generations of members know each other by name, and everyone is encouraged to come as they are. After 130 years, Lakeside Park Club remains what it has always been, a true community club at the center of Richmond life.  The club has grown significantly over the past two years and continues to forge a larger, full club experience.  

Club is open 6 days per week, 12 months per year.

Clubhouse Manager

Job Description

Do you love being the person who makes a club feel like home? At Lakeside Park Club, the clubhouse is where members celebrate, unwind, and bring their families, and the Clubhouse Manager makes all of it happen. As our senior operational leader, you'll own the full member experience, leading Food & Beverage, Event Services, Facilities Maintenance, Pool Operations, and Front-of-House with the hospitality, discretion, and polish our members count on.

You'll be out on the floor, not behind a desk: greeting members, reading the room, and raising the bar every day. You'll turn the Board's and General Manager's priorities into plans your team can run with, manage the numbers with a sharp eye, and build a team culture people want to be part of. And you'll care for the clubhouse itself as a landmark, so it stays something members are proud of for generations.

  • Keep the facility in shape. Coordinate maintenance staff and outside vendors, prioritize repairs for safety and appearance, and plan preventative maintenance and improvement projects.
  • Manage seasonal youth programs. Oversee the Swim Team, including staffing, and manage Summer Kids Club.
  • Develop your team. Support department leaders with hiring, training, scheduling, and performance management. Coach and hold the leadership team accountable.
  • Manage the numbers. Help with budgeting, forecasting, and labor management. Review operating reports and find ways to improve.
