Main Bar & Lounge
The heart of the clubhouse social scene. Our main bar and lounge is the gathering place for members after a round of golf, during Thirsty Thursday events, and for casual dining throughout the week.
Lounge Patio
When the weather is perfect at Smith Mountain Lake, our Lounge Patio offers outdoor dining with breathtaking views. Enjoy cocktails and seasonal plates with the lake and Blue Ridge Mountains as your backdrop.
VIP Rooms
For those occasions that demand total privacy and an elevated experience, our VIP Rooms offer intimate settings for corporate dinners, milestone celebrations, and private events with bespoke menus crafted by our Executive Chef.
What's On the Menu
Our Executive Chef creates seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients. Menus vary by season and availability.

Thirsty Thursdays
Every Thursday evening, members gather for our beloved Thirsty Thursday tradition — featuring cocktail specials, live music on select evenings, and a menu of crowd-favorite dishes in a lively, social atmosphere. It's the best way to cap off a midweek round.
