Thinking About Living in West Lake Country Club?

West Lake Country Club has been member-owned since 1969, an Ellis Maples design with a 30,000-square-foot clubhouse, 12 tennis courts, a pool, and fitness facilities. It anchors the roughly 1,000-home West Lake gated community in Martinez, Columbia County, part of the Augusta metro's Columbia County golf suburbs.
Golf & Course
Designed by Ellis Maples, the course has operated under member ownership since 1969, distinguishing it from commercially managed clubs elsewhere in the Augusta market.

Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is available through Full Golf, Sports, and Social categories but is explicitly optional for residents of the surrounding West Lake neighborhood -- buying a home there does not include or require club membership, per club-industry trade coverage (Club + Resort Business).

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and dues directly with the club -- only a third-party-reported range was found.
- The 'second only to Augusta National' superlative appears in only one source (the club's own management company) and should be treated as unverified marketing language pending independent corroboration.
