Lake Chesdin Golf Club is an 18-hole, semi-private, member-owned club (~150 members) in Chesterfield County, adjacent to the Chesdin Landing waterfront residential community on Lake Chesdin. In November 2024, the club's membership brought on Mike Hatch and his firm Acumen Golf to manage day-to-day operations, and Hatch has been developing a reciprocal-membership program that would let members access Lake Chesdin, Birkdale, and Brandermill courses. Membership-directory sourcing (not independently confirmed against an official rate sheet) places initiation fees at $2,501-$10,000 and annual dues at $15,001-plus for Full Golf Membership.
The club briefly operated as part of Meadowbrook-Chesdin LLC in 2013-2014 following a merger with Meadowbrook Country Club, but that partnership dissolved in 2014 over the Chesdin side's financial difficulties; Lake Chesdin has operated independently of Meadowbrook since. Chesdin Landing, the surrounding community, is explicitly marketed as a golf-and-lakefront destination ('Richmond's Premiere Golf Course & Lakefront Community') with its own 55+ active-adult section, though golf membership remains a separate purchase from HOA dues.
