Dear Members, The Lost City Golf Club is winding down its 50th year and moving into our 51st year. Oh, if these walls and fairways could talk. Think of all of the good times, hearty laughs, awesome golf shots, fun rounds and parties that occurred over the past 50 years. Think of all of the club members and staff members that were a part of all those stories. Those stories and people are the Lost City Golf Club. Every year new members join the club and long-time members leave. The Lost City Golf Club has been in existence for 50 years and it will be around for 50 more years as long as we keep maintaining our facilities and adding upgrades to stay relevant in the Palm Beach County golf world. We have 6 departments at the Lost City Golf Club. Course Maintenance, Golf Service, Food & Beverage, Building Maintenance, Accounting and Membership make up those 6 departments. Each department has its own set of core values to ensure we hire, coach and evaluate on traits the leaders of each department believes is required to work as a strong team. The goal is to work with people we respect and enjoy.
As our club grows, we do the same with our club membership. The Membership Committee researches new members and interviews them to determine if they will be a good fit for our eclectic club membership. We have had to turn down applications because they did not fit our club culture. We are not snobs but we want solid citizens. We are a small club by industry standards and we like it that way. This summer it was fun to watch everyone pulling together to ensure November 1 was a huge success!! Thank you to all of our hard-working Committee Members and Board Members along with all of our Departmental Leadership Teams. For our small club to reach its full potential it must be a collaborative effort of members and staff.
As our 2021-2022 season gets underway, we are in excellent position for an outstanding future: Twenty Seven brand new gorgeous holes of golf, awesome practice facilities, immaculate locker rooms, new golf shop, new golf carts, new practice balls, upgraded and expanded outdoor and casual dining areas along with new smiling faces on our club staff. In short, we respect our past, are proud of our friendly and caring culture AND WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE 2021-2022 SEASON; IT IS GOING TO BE FUN!!! Enjoy every swing!! Leo McMahon General Manager
