Assistant Superintendent
About Lake Success Golf Club
Nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake Success in Great Neck, New York, Lake Success Golf Club is a hidden gem of Nassau County, just 15 miles from Manhattan.
The club has a rich history dating back to the early 1920s, when William K. Vanderbilt commissioned C.B. Macdonald and Seth Raynor to design and build a premier golf course. Originally known as Deepdale Golf Club, the course underwent a major transformation in 1954 when the Long Island Expressway was constructed through its center. The Village of Lake Success took control, rerouting and rebuilding the course into the Lake Success Golf Club that exists today.
In September 2024, the club began Phase 1 of a comprehensive master plan designed by architect Joel Weiman of Weiman Design, with construction led by contractor Mike Tilleli of Tilleli Construction. This multi-phase project aims to enhance playability, infrastructure, and aesthetics, ensuring a world-class experience for golfers.
